The info came from the book you mentioned. History of Auglaze, Shelby and Logan Co.I did not make a potoopy but did jot down the basic info.
Residence Section 24, Duchouquet Twp. Auglaze county.
Son of John Tam who was born 1797 in Va.
John was a bricklayer and patriot of War of 1812. Served under Capt McNeal of Va.
Mother was Elizabeth Thompson of Fairfield Co. Ohio. She married there then came to Auglaze in 1822.
Lived among indians in an indian hut till home was built. 7 chldren born to that family. Milton was youngest born April 16, 1836 in the indian cabin.
Father died 1842
Mother remarried and had 2 more children. She died in 1876.
Milton lived all life on same land. Taught school several terms then devoted to farming. Also served as Director of School Board.
Married Urbanna, daughter of John and Hannah Ohler in 1857. They had 9 children.
A map in the book shows location of family property. a modern map shows the location to be south-east corner of RT 67 and Township Line Road on the east side of Duchouquet Twp.
Hope this helps.
