WILLIAM, JR. (4) 1803 - 1858 m: SARAH M. MCCLELLAND

HARRIS: Born March 3, 1803 in Ohio, died May 11, 1858 in Jasper County, Iowa. Married March 29, 1830 to Sarah M. McClelland in Adams County, Ohio. She was born about 1812 in Ohio, died May 4, 1891 in Jasper County, Iowa.

After his marriage, William migrated from his native Ohio to Missouri, and from there to Iowa, settling in Jasper County in that state in 1846. All of William and Sarah's children were born before they came to Iowa.

The family was enumerated living in District #16 of Jasper County, Iowa in the 1850 Census. That record listed William as being a farmer. In 1860, they were living in Newton in Jasper County, as shown in that year's Census.

In the 1850 Census, Mary Jane, the first child, was shown as being born in Iowa, believed to have been an error, as she almost certainly was born in Ohio. The family was also recorded in an 1865 Jasper County, Iowa Census that did show Margaret, the second child, born in Ohio, and Samantha, the third child, born in Missouri. William and Sarah's last two children were also born in Missouri.

In 1860, the widowed Sarah was recorded for that year's Census still living in Newton along with three of the children. In the 1870 Census, she was still shown living in Jasper County, then with her youngest son, Andrew Jackson, and his first child, Ona B.

William and Sarah are buried in the Mt. Zion cemetery located in Newton, Jasper County, Iowa.

POSSIBILITIES: The best fit for this William, if indeed he is really a William, Jr. is as the son of William(3) Thomas(2). Though we have no list of children for this family, we do know by the 1810 Census of Mason Co., KY that William had 3 sons in his household. We do have a record that his oldest son was a Michael. There is evidence of a son, Thomas, who married in 1820 in Mason Co., KY and is presumed to be a son. This William would fit as well by the age brackets given as a son less that 10 years of age. It should be noted that William was known to have swung up from Kentucky to the Cincinnati and Greene Co. areas of Ohio for several years before returning to Mason Co., where he is found in the 1810 Census. This would mean that his youngest son was probably born in Ohio. That too fits. Adams Co., OH is just across the river from the area where William lived in Kentucky. In March 2010 this placement was assumed and William merged into the main database. See William, Jr. of Jasper Co., IA
