DANIEL H. VOSHELL, pioneer farmer and stock-raiser, was born in this township
February 8, 1826, about one mile west of his present residence, and is the second
of the ten children of William H. and Polly (Sandy) Voshell, natives respectively of
Delaware and North Carolina, and of French and German descent.  William H. 
Voshell emigrated from Maryland to Ohio, and thence to Jackson County, Ind., 
about 1820.  He also lived in Owen County about 1825, and located land, likewise,
in this township, making an aggregate of 400 acres.  Daniel lived with his parents
until he was twenty years old, having entered 160 acres.  His opportunities for 
education were of the most meager character, having to labor almost incessantly.
Feburary 17, 1846, he wedded Delilah, the widow of Joseph Goss, which union
gave issue to six chidlren, three being now alive--Mary A. (Mrs. McGinnis),
William S. and Thomas S.  Mr. Voshell is possessor of 307 acres in Morgan and
180 in Knox County, Ind., all under the best cultivation, well stocked, improved,
and with as good a residence as one may find in the township.  Mr. Voshell is one
of the most upright and respected of citizens, a man whose record is duty well done.
He and wife are members of the Christian Church.
