Biographical and Genealogical History of Cass, Miami, Howard and Tipton Counties, Indiana (Volume 1):
JACOB T. HANSHEW. — Among the early settlers of Tipton county who have been "prime factors" in its development is the well-known farmer and prominent citizen of Madison township whose name appears above. He was born in Ripley county, this state, August 16, 1820, reared on a farm and educated at the country subscription schools typical of the period.
His father, Henry Hanshew, was a native of Maryland, who emigrated to Tennessee and there married Barbara Thomas, a native of Knox county, same state. Afterward, in 1809, they moved -to Butler county, Ohio, and in 1816 to Ripley county, Indiana, where they remained four or five years; they then returned to Butler county, Ohio, and in 1830 came again to Indiana, this time locating in Rush county. In 1850 they moved to Madison county, where he bought a farm and spent his remaining days, dying in 1866 at the age of eighty-three years. His wife had died there in 1857. Both were members of tlie Primitive Baptist church. He was well and favorably known for his sincerity and simplicity of conduct. His children were: John, Andrew, James, David, Clarissa, Jacob T. (our subject), Amos, Mary M., Henry, Susan A. and George, of whom only three are now living.
While the above family were in Ripiey county Jacob T. married, and came to Tipton county in 1849, settling upon a tract of land which his brother had entered and deeded to him, two miles southeast of where Hobbs now is; and this is the place where he still resides. When he came here not a tree had been cut. He cleared a little spot whereon he built a cabin and com- menced the struggle of life in the wilderness; and ever after the first year the place has yielded him a support, the abundance of wild game being a great help during the first year; and even the coon-skins and deer-skins he collected were convenient in the place of money at the stores in the villages. But, as usual, it was a long distance to the nearest gristmill, and the roads, where there were any at all, often impassable, and the sloughs and many of the miry streams unfordable. Also he and the whole family had to take their turn at the "everlasting" shakes, the ague. When Mr. Hanshew located at this point scarcely any of the settlers had got to farming. Beginning here on one hundred and sixty acres he has since sold half of it, and of the remain- ing half he has seventy-two acres cleared, ditched, tiled and in a good state of cultivation. On the place he has erected a commodious frame residence, a large barn, outbuildings, etc., and planted an orchard. As a farmer he has always been a good manager, and, besides, he has done some carpentering and other miscellaneous work, as he is a "handy man" at almost anything.
He was united in marriage with Miss Amanda J. Morris, of an honored pioneer family of Ripley county. She was born November 18, 1824, a daughter of Claiborne and Mary (Pate) Morris, natives of old Virginia, who came to Indiana in 1811, locating in Dearborn county. Mr. Morris was a shoemaker by trade and a farmer generally by occupation, but being also by nature a good mechanic he was good at almost all kinds of work. He came to this county in 1870. and died about 1874, at the remarkably advanced age of one hundred and six years. His wife, surviving, returned to Bartholomew county, this state, where she died, in May of the following year, a pious member of the Methodist church. They had fourteen children, as follows: John, Betsey, Rista. Daniel, Amanda J. (wife of Mr. Hanshew), Mary, Henry, Cynthia, Charles, Columbus, Margaret, Catharine, Emily and William. All these lived to be grown excepting two. By a previous marriage, their father had had three children, — Paulina, James and David.
Mr. Hanshew's children are: Mary E., who first married Isaac Shaw, and after his death William Gants, and finally died, leaving five children; Matilda J., who died young; Jasper, who died February, 1897; Newton, a carpenter; Martha A., now Mrs. J. Murray; Henry C. , residing in the state of Washington; Christina, now Mrs. H. Eaton; Monroe, in Idaho; Levi A., in Kansas; Enos M., who married and lost his wife, and is now farming the old homestead.
Mr. Hanshew is a Democrat, but never has aspired to office of any kind.
