(History of Madison County)
Robert Fausset was born 14 March 1785 in the state of Delaware. While he was yet a child, his parents removed to West Virginia, settling on the Monongahela River in Marion Co. Here their son received his education and grew to manhood.
November 9 1809, he was united in marriage with Miss Anna Stewart. He possessed a brave spirit and a love of adventure, and in the spring of 1810 he constructed a flat-boat, and launched it upon the river, resolved to seek a home among the wild forests of the West. He was accompanied by his young wife, and after a tiresome voyage, they landed at a point on the Ohio River nine miles above Cincinnati. He remained four years in the State of Ohio, and was drafted for service in the war of 1812, but procured a substitute.
In 1812 Robert & Anna Fausset moved to Hamilton Co, Ohio. About 1836 they moved to Indiana by wagon and established a residence "on Lick Creek where it flows into Fall Creek," near Fortville, Indiana. He built a water power saw mill, corn mill and kilns where they made their own brick. The old mill race was still standing in the 1950's. The Fausset Cemetery is "on the old Fausset homestead".
By his industry and good management he accumulated a comfortable fortune, and remained a prosperous farmer until his decease, in 1873. He was twice married. His first wife died in 1840, leaving eight children, three sons and five daughters, to mourn her loss.
