    1. [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Jackson County: Hare Narrowly Escaped Death at the Hand of Vigilantes
    2. Randi Richardson via
    3. Marshall County Republican, Plymouth, Indiana, July 23, 1868. In 1860, there was one Hare family living in Jackson County. William Hare, age 44 and a native of New York, was enumerated head of household in Old Rockford Twp., Jackson County, Indiana. He was identified as a fisherman with real estate valued at $100 and personal property valued at $50. Vigilance committees are engaged in clearing the scoundrels from the vicinity of Seymour, Ind. They hung a man named Hare to extort information regarding the rascals and came near carrying the joke too far as he was nearly dead when cut down.
