  • Notes 
    • GIDEON T. KLINCK was born in the State of New York March 23, 1810, and was the son of David and Ruth (Smith) Klinck; the father of German descent, and the mother a native of Massachusetts. The father was a miller, and died in Fayette County, Ind., and the mother died in Shelby County.

      Our subject attended school in Connersville, Fayette County, and afterward learned saddle and harness making, serving an apprenticeship of four years, and working as a jouneyman off and on for ten years.

      In 1832or 1833, he was married, in Fayette County, to Miss Fannie Williams, a native of that county, and daughter of Jonas and Sallie Williams; born in New York, and died in Fayette County, Ind.
      Our subject first kept house in Shelby county, but soon returned to Fayette, where Mrs. Klinck died. In1840, our subject married Miss Elizabeth Hornaday, a native of North Carolina. Soon after this marriage, he removed to Illinois, made a preemption, and then traded for eighty acres in this township, to which he removed in 1842; cleared twenty-five or thirty acres, sold, purchased eighty acres of his present farm, and added, by degrees, till he now owns 325 acres, 160 of which are under cultivation. He gives some attention to livestock, and sells annually fifteen head of cattle, six horses, hogs fifteen, sheep fifteen to twenty. He has served as Township Treasurer one term.

      By his first wife he had one daughter-Olive, who is deceased;
      and by his second marriage, three children, viz.: Horace (was taken prisoner at Chattanooga, exchanged, and there died), Anna and Sarah E., both married, and living, in Thorn Creek.
