I am looking for information on a John H. Hedrick b. 1829 North Carolina who was a wagon maker and wife Minerva Jane b. 1832 NC. This family I think lived in Cocke Co. Tenn as I find a John Hedrick living in the household of Daniel Hedrick age 30 & Susan age 28 in the 1850 census Cocke Co. TN. The Balch family left Catawba Co. NC in the early 1850's and moved to Cocke Co. TN. Then in the early 1870's part of the family left Cocke Co. TN and moved to Webster Co. MO. John H. Hedrick moved in 1865 to Boone Co. Indiana and lived in Whitestown. He was a Democrat and Lutheran. He is listed in the 1870 census Boone Co. IN in Worth Twp. age 41. His wife Minerva Jane b. 1832 d. 5 Dec 1914 Worth Twp, Boone Co. IN. I believe this Minerva Jane to be a Balch and daughter of Henry Bolch/Balch/Bolick and Sally Hunsucker Any help appreciated.
