Previous to the War of 1812 the Redenbaughs came to the present limits of Orange Township, but remained but a short time, when, on account of Indian troubles, they returned to Hamilton County, where they remained until the year 1818, when they returned to this county. In 1817 Jeremiah married Margaret Shanklin, whom he brought with him to his backwoods home. They lived to raise a family of thirteen children. In 1866 Mr. R. returned to Illinois, where he died in 1872. His wife only survived him about ten days. Aaron Redenbaugh, a son of Jeremiah Redenbaugh. was born in Shelby County in 1829. In 1862 he married Elizabeth Voorhees, a daughter of Reuben Voorhees. She was born in Montgomery County in 1841. They moved to Illinois the same year that his father did. They remained there until 1880, when they returned to Orange Township, and are now located on part of the old homestead of Reuben Voorhees. They have raised four children, viz., Annie B., Charles O., Saml. R, and Clarinda. The first two only are living.
