E. D. Stockstill
E. D. Stockstill moved to Salem Township in 1833, where he built a log cabin and moved his family to it. He was married to Miss Elizabeth Shroyer, of Frederick County, Md., in 1829. He entered four hundred acres of land, two hundred of which he cleared by hard and persistent labor. In 1838 he helped to build a log school-house, which was also used as a church, and had to go ten miles to buy all his supplies. In 1874 he moved to Sidney without disposing of his farm. He has reared eleven children, named Elizabeth C., Thomas, David W., Henry I., Francis M., John P., Mary E., Jacob W., Andrew W., Sarah S., and Elias.
