William McLAUGHLIN was born in Bath county, Virginia, March 23, 1803, and was a son of Hugh and Jane (WILEY) McLAUGHLIN, who later became residents of Meigs county, Ohio. In this latter county William McLAUGHLIN grew to manhood and was there married, September 17, 1833, to Rebecca GRAY. Six years later, in 1839, he came over into Indiana with his wife and the three children that meanwhile had been born to them and settled on an "eighty" he had entered from the Government in Madison township, this county, establishing his home there in a rude log cabin, and entered upon the serious task of making a farm out of the woodland tract. Ten years later, in 1849, he moved with his family to a farm in section 34 of Noble township and there established the home in which he and his wife spent the remainder of their lives. He died on July 3, 1872, and his widow survived until in February, 1881. They had nine known children together.
