Mom and dad rode their bikes on Fairview Church Road recently and stopped to look at a little cemetery (with only one stone) that on a side road in front of Mike McConnell's house. With a quick search on the internet, they found the following:
"According to Gibson County newspaper man and historian Gil R. Stormont, the couple and their 4 children left Maine and travelled overland through the Genessee Valley (NY) to Washington County, Ohio. Richard Louis Hussey (1789-1851) was a cabinet maker there for four years. Aphia bore him two more children before they left in late 1821 for Gibson County, Indiana, locating 5 miles east of Princeton, near Francisco. There, Richard cleared a farm and opened a blacksmith shop."
