Notes for HENRY MEDLOCK:
Centennial History, Washington County-1916
Henry Medlock, who established the family in Washington County, assisted in laying the foundation of agricultural prosperity in the community where his decendants reside.He came to Indiana from a farm eleven miles from Knoxville, Tennessee.The trip at that time carried him over mountains and through uninhabited districts of the country.He carried the silver money, which he had accumulated for the purpose of buying land in this state, in leather saddle bags, this fact alone making his journey more subject to danger.Upon arriving in this state, he went to Jeffersonville, where he obtained from the land office there the right to enter three hundred and twenty acres of land, three and one-half miles northwest of Salem, on the Cox's ferry road.This farm remained his residence until his death.
