William married Jerusha Almira Monroe on 10 Mar 1836 in , Vanderburgh Co., Indiana, USA. Jerusha (daughter of Joshua Monroe and Julia Almira Fairchild) was born about 1818-1822 in , Tioga Co., New York, USA; died on 28 Apr 1888 in West Franklin, Posey Co., Indiana, USA; was buried on 30 Apr 1888 in Oak Hill Cem., Evansville, Vanderburgh Co., Indiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jerusha (or Jerutia) Almira (or Elmira) Monroe and William K. Ham (or Vann) were married by S. Stephens, JP.

They are found on the 1840 census of Posey or Vanderburgh County, Indiana. William is listed as age 20-30 and Jerusha is listed as age 30-40.
In the 1850 census of Vanderburgh County, Indiana, she is listed as Lucy Ham, age 30.

The 1860 census of Posey County, Indiana shows her as 40 years old.

The 1870 census of Henderson County, Kentucky, lists her as J. A. Royster, 51, living with her second husband, Alexander Royster and her son George Ham, age 27.

The 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, lists her as a 58 year old mother living in the household of her widowed daughter, Mary's, house.

Several of her siblings named their children after Jerusha. It is reasonable to speculate that as the eldest daughter, she became a mother figure to her siblings after her mother's death.

She worked for many years as the matron at the Orphan Asylum in Evansville, Indiana.

Notes:

Some references say Joshua was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire, other evidence points to Scotland as his birthplace in 1780-90. In an 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, Joshua's son, Edwin indicates that his father was born in Virginia. This is thought to be incorrect.

He was in America in the early 1800's living for a time in Cayuga County, New York, where his first two children were born. Other references say they may have lived for short periods in Nova Scotia, Canada and in Virginia. Sometime between 1816 and 1823, Joshua, his wife, Julia, and their three young children made the long migration from New York to Indiana. The likely migration route was by wagon to the vicinity of Pittsburgh, thence by Ohio River flat boat until reaching the thriving port of Evansville or the smaller one at Mount Vernon in the newly opened lands of southwestern Indiana. The presence of a number of contemporaneous Fairchild families in Posey and Vanderburgh Counties would indicate that Joshua and family were part of a multi-family trek.

Family legend says that Amelia was killed by Indians in 1828 close to the Ohio River in the vicinity of Mount Vernon, Posey County, Indiana. Also killed was Mrs. McFadden, wife of Andrew "Tweedle Dum" McFadden. They were the parents of Miranda Jane McFadden, the future wife of Amelia's son, Edwin. Miranda was with the two women when they were killed, and she was half scalped by the Indians. She bore the scars of her injury for the rest of her life. Amelia does not appear on the 1830 census of Posey County, Indiana, with the rest of the family, so she was probably dead by then. Several references say that Joshua was also killed by Indians at the same time, or died shortly after, but Joshua is on the 1830 census. He died shortly before Jan 1835.

Joshua's wife was named Amelia (or Alma) Julia (or Jane) Fairchild. One reference says there were at least three children born in Cayuga County, New York and the rest were born in Indiana. The children's names come from several different sources that do not agree among themselves, so there may be errors here.

In an area where land was cheap and the principal occupation was farming, there was no record of Joshua owning land. His 1835 estate settlement showed he died insolvent. It is probable that he was poor when he went to America and remained in that condition which could account for the lack of records about him.

There are hints that Joshua was the son of Thaddeus Monroe [7326].

A good deal of information about Joshua appears in ref 2. At least one reference says Joshua died in 1823. Ref 2 says he died "of sickness" in Jan 1835.

Joshua married Julia Almira Fairchild about 1815 in , Otsego Co., New York, USA. Julia was born about 1794 in , Otsego Co., New York, USA; died about 1829 in Mount Vernon, Posey Co., Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some references call her Amelia Julia Fairchild. Julia and Joshua were married possibly in Otsego, Tioga or Cayuga County, New York.

Some references say Julia was born in Scotland.

There is only indirect proof that Julia's middle name was Almira. She signed her name as Julia A. Monro in 1818.

Julia was the daughter of Levi and Jerusha Fairchild.

She died between feb 1828 and 7 Aug 1830. It is said that she was murdered by Indians.
