Notes:

"Ithamar Medaris was born in Gilford [sic] County, North Carolina, near Greensboro, in 1811 (difficult to read), and died March 1, 1892, in Owen County, Indiana. When 18 years of age, Ithamar Medaris and his brother, Jonathan, came to Ohio where they remained a year or two. His father and family joined him a little later. Ithamar returned to North Carolina where he married Elizabeth Stone. After two years he returned to Ohio and remained one year and then came to Indiana in 1835, and followed farming and boating for a livelihood. Eight children were the result of their marriage, four boys and four girls, two sons and two daughters and the widow still living to mourn his death. He was always a Democrat and was loved by all who knew him. He was not a member of any church, but believed in the Savior and his God. His illness dated back to last August. He was ready and willing to die and expressed great hope in meeting his Savior." ~ Owen County Democrat Obituary, 17 March 1892
