Some of you may have the Anglin Family Tree ..latest version ..which was put into a little red book in 1968. Well, I am not updating it but you can. It resides in the Koscuisko County Old Jail Museum. Here is that version of what happened before we got here, and shortly after.
The Anglin Family Tree begins with our ancestor,
Adrian Anglin who was born November 1762, in
the state of West Va.(not a state yet). His parents were Jane and William Anglin. The Anglins were
known to be of Scotch/Irish descent. First Scotch ,
probably living in or near Strathclyde. Then after
James I of Scotland fought the Irish of Ulster County, Ireland we most-likely moved to Ireland because of the Government and church conflict.
Becoming dis-satisfied again some of them moved to America, France and other lands. Anyway , Jane and William made their way to Virginia where Adrian was born and grew up. He was listed in a historical register of Virginia soldiers , Rev. war
1775-1785. This just means he was known to be a soldier within that window.
Another account of Virginia soldiers has Adrian's
grandfather Phillip coming from France. Who knows...they seemed to be ever looking for greener pastures.
In any event, the government awarded soldiers land in the west (including Indiana). However,
Adrian , late in life, waited until his married daughter and her family (the Samuel D. Halls)
had established a home in Indiana. The story is that Adrian brought his wife, Mary (McClung)
Anglin and his three unmarried children across
the mountains, in a Conestoga wagon, to his daughter's home on the prairie, still there in Clunette, In.
