Note:
I find an Anna McPherson, age 13 living with the Henry and Margaret Heiser family in Mishawaka, Indiana. This would be around the time that her mother died, perhaps she is living with a relative. Mishawaka is a long way from Knox County and some quick research on the family does not show any links, so this might not be Permelia at all.

Aaron McPherson is enumerated by himself in Paoli, IN.

John further directs that the executor take charge of his farm and lease it out from year to year not to exceed fifteen years, the profits to support his family.

The will of William Crawford was written in February of 1852 and proved on November 16, 1852. The provisions of the will are as follows:
All of his home farm (followed by legal description) to son Johnathan Crawford and his children and their heirs. Johnathan, in consideration of this is to keep and maintain his mother in a comfortable manner during her life and to bury her without charge after her death.
To the children of his son Lewis he directs the executor to purchase land in the sum of three hundred dollars to be held by them and their heirs. Money to come from the sale of his personal property.
To his son William he gives two hundred pounds of bacon.
The residual of his personal estate is divided between his daughters Nancy Eckard and Rebecca Flanagan equally.

Not mentioned in this will are the children of his deceased son John, our ancester being a 12 year old orphan at the time.
Son Josiah and daughter Elizabeth are not mentioned either.
