Here are the Addison names I am researching. This is a piece of work that my Aunt Opal wrote. I would like to share this with any other Addison's that might be researching the same ones that I am. If any sound familiar please let me know. Thanks to you all!!
Lora William Addison lived in North Carolina. He had 3 sons, Iverson Thomas, and William.
The 3 boys came to Cadiz, Henry County, Indiana in the 1820s. It was a dense forest at that time.
1. Iverson Addison was born in 1806. He was married once and had 1 son and 2 daughters. He was killed on Dec 27, 1836, while caring a wild hog on his back. He slipped on the ice and broke his neck. His death occurred a short ways south of Cadiz and he was buried near Cadiz. His son was 9 years old at the time of his death.
2. Thomas Addison was born Aug 16, 1808 He was married twice. Thomas and his first wife had 4 sons and 4 daughters. They lived near Cadiz. His first wife died the latter part of 1841. She was buried near Cadiz. On Sept 10, 1842. Thomas married his second wife. Gathering up his children he had trouble in getting his daughter Margaret who was 8years old, from the people who had her, as they didn't want to give her up. Thomas told them he had come after her and would take her or lose every drop of blood in his veins. He told them he had a good wife and she was willing and wanted him to bring his children home. Thomas had 8 children and his newly wedded wife had 3. This made for a good sized family, but they moved to the northeast corner of Shelby County on an 80 acre farm that Thomas purchased. They had 7 children by Thomas wife who died Aug. 22 1886. Thomas had 1 son at home at that time, Washington. They lived there a few years longer, then Thomas and Washington went to Greenfield and lived with Thomas' daughter Christian Addison Adams. In Nov. of 1894 Washington, not in good health, drove from Greenfield to Wolf's Mill Race 3 miles north of Morristown, IN, and drowned himself. That and old age, finished Thomas Addison who died Dec 15, 1894, past 86 years of age. Thomas and his second wife are buried in the Asbury Cemetery, north of Morristown, IN.
