653. Nancy
Judson Churchill was born on Jun 3 1819 in Elizabethtown, N Y.
NOTE: NOTE: She was born in Elizabethtown, N Y, June 3, 1819. She was educated
in the schools of her native town, with a year at Mrs. Norman Nicholson's Seminary,
and a private academy at Williamsville, N Y. In 1828 she went with her father's
family to Louth, Canada, where her mother died, and she soon after went to live
with her older sister, Mrs. Richards, at Forestville, N Y, where she finished
her schooling at the private academy of Mrs. Charles Labatte. In the fall of
1833 she returned to her father's home, then at Sheakleyville, Pa. Here she
began her experience in school-teaching, which lasted until her marriage. Her
husband was the son of Capt. Eliott Harroun, of Pembroke, N Y, where he was
born. Two children were born to Mrs. Harroun here, but died in infancy. They
removed to Wisconsin in 1844, and settled in the township of Rosendale, being
the fourth family to settle there, but within a few months were joined by a
score of families mostly from the east. They removed a little later to Sparta,
Wis. Here they prospered, as the town grew rapidly, and Mr. Harroun, being a
carpenter, found profitable employment; but the fever of the west was still
strong and so they removed again in 1858, to Kansas, with their four children,
the oldest about thirteen years. They found themselves in the midst of the war
of "Border Ruffianism" and after two years were glad to get back to
the north and settle among civilized people, in Dodge County, Wis. Here their
eldest boy died, and the husband met with an accident which rendered him unfit
for work for some years, so that Mrs. Harroun was forced to resort to teaching
again for her family's support. This teaching she continued twelve years, while
her children grew up and became helpful as teachers, and her husband recovered
in part, and the family prospered again. Mr. Harroun died April 23, 1889. Mrs.
Harroun has been a diligent helper in the compilation of her grandfather's line
of the family.
