Like many of the prominent citizens of Marion County, Indiana, Mr. Andrew W. McOuat is a native of the Blue Grass regions of Kentucky, born in Lexington, May 8, 1830, and when an infant came with his parents to Indiana. The father was a native of Scotland, born in 1795, and remained in his native country until grown. He then crossed the ocean to American, located in Lexington, Kentucky, and was there married to Miss Lockerbie. About 1821 he moved with his family to the Hoosier State and located in Indianapolis, where he purchased property. To his marriage were born these children: Elizabeth A. (deceased), Ona Butler (deceased), George (died in 1872), Robert L. (deceased), Andrew W. (our subject), and Mary G. The father of these children died in 1838 leaving the family in limited circumstances. The son George assumed control of the family and greatly assisted his mother in rearing the younger members. He never married but remained with his mother. For sixteen years he served as Deputy United States Marshall under different administrations and was a very popular man. In politics he was one of the leaders of the Democratic party in this section. He took a deeper interest in matters of higher character than mere material things.
