Findley of Jackson county, Indiana, and to them were born ten children, three sons and seven daughters, of which eight are still living.  He moved from Indiana to Iowa in 1851 in Monroe County, where they stayed during the winter season and moved in the spring to Adams county, Iowa and  bought land lying near the East Nodaway river, which was the best land sale made in the county.  He was one of the first settlers of Indiana and also of Iowa.  He staid on his farm one year, and he became so crippled up with rheumatism that he rented his place, moving to Hawleyville, Page county, where he engaged in hauling goods from St. Joseph, Mo. to the above named place where he remained but a short time, returning to his farm, but was still employed in hauling goods and also overseeing the farm, where he staid 7 years, returning to Hawleyville for three years and moved from hence to Montgomery county where he purchased  a farm and staid three years, selling this farm and moving to Adams county where he lived about 16 years until the past few years where he spent his last days, which were spent in a great amount of suffering.  Rheumatism was the dread disease from which he has suffered more or less since the Black hawk war.  Seven of his children and his wife were present with him in the last moments of his suffering, although for the last two days and nights, he was unconscious.  He passed away as if in a sweet sleep.  He was a firm believer in Christ since the year of 1860 when he was united to the Cumberland Presbyterian church by Rev. W.C. Means, pastor of the Mt. Zion congregation.
