John & Elizabeth McAfee
Biographical Record and Portrait Album of Tippecanoe County, Indiana,
1888, pp 475-476
John R. McAfee, one of the representative citizens of Tippecanoe County, with whose interests he has been identified since 1854, was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, April 3, 1832, his parents, Samuel H. and Hannah (Riggs) McAfee, being natives of New Jersey. When he was a child of four years his parents removed to the northern part of Pennsylvania, and settled near Waverly, where our subject lived until January, 1854. He then came to Tippecanoe County. For two years following he worked at the carpenters’ trade, much of that time in White County. He was married February 10, 1856, to Elizabeth McCormick, and after his marriage he located on a part of the farm where he now resides, and which has since been his home. He now owns about 2,000 acres of land, a large part of which is located on Grand Prairie. He has cleared and improved about 300 acres, where he is now engaged in general farming and stock raising. He also owns and operates a tile factory and a sawmill, the latter being erected by him several years ago. He manufactures at his mill per annum about 3000,000 feet of lumber from the native timber of the county. He erected his tile factory in 1884, where he has ample facilities for the manufacture of tile, the capacity of the factory being about 350,000 rods per annum. A large portion of the tile manufactured by him is used on his own land.
Mr. McAfee has a pleasant home in Tippecanoe Township, his residence being one of the best in the township, and his barns and out buildings substantial and commodious. All the above valuable property has been acquired by his own exertions, and his fine business ability, and he is numbered financially with the wealthiest citizens of the county. The only child of Mr. and Mrs. McAfee is a daughter Hannah I., who is now the wife of Isaac G. Garrett. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Garrett, of whom only one, Floyd I., is living. Their daughter Nellie E., died in early infancy, and a son named John McAfee died May 29, 1887, aged six years.
The father of Mr. McAfee was born in 1796, and died at the age of eighty-five years. The mother was about two years older than her husband and died a number of years before him. They reared a family of nine children to maturity, seven of whom are yet living—Joel, who was born in 1818, married Sible Gates, who died leaving a family of eight children; Losey, born 1819, married Nellie Fretts, and they are the parents of three children; Jemima Jane, born 1822, married Erastus Loomis, and has seven children; William, born 1826, married Mary Wilkins, and has four children; they reside in Walworth County, Wisconsin; George, born in 1828, married Arsula Gates, who died leaving three children; John R., our subject, is the next in order of birth; Thompson married Frances Hulett, and they have a family of two children. All the children of Mr. Samuel McAfee were natives of New Jersey but Thompson, who was born in Pennsylvania, in 1834, and those living are all residents of Pennsylvania except John R. and William. The two children deceased are—Julia Ann, who died when twenty-two years of age, and Susan, wife of George Esterbrook, died at the age of thirty-eight years, leaving a family of four sons.
Mrs. John R. McAfee was born on the old homestead of her father in Tippecanoe County, October 10, 1837, and is the only surviving daughter of Samuel and Isabel (Bartles) McCormick. Her father was born in Ohio, in 1802, and was reared and married in his native state. His mother was a native of New York, born in Sussex County, and was reared from infancy in Ohio. They were married in 1828, and to them were born seven children, five dying early in childhood. The two yet living are John P., who was born July 26, 1829, now a resident of Fowler, Benton County, Indiana, and Elizabeth, the wife of our subject.
In 1837 Mr. and Mrs. McCormick came to Tippecanoe County, Indiana, and settled on section 11, Tippecanoe Township, where Mr. McCormick died March 4, 1853, at the age of fifty-one years. His wife died March 18, 1879, aged sixty-nine years. Mr. McCormick was a prominent and influential citizen of the county. Politically he was a democrat and twice represented his county in the State Legislature. He held other positions, and for eight years held the office of justice of peace.
