Pa FULTON COUNTY, INDIANA HANDBOOK P PACKARD, IRA [Macy, Allen Township, Miami <strong>County</strong>, Indiana] BIOGRAPHY Ira Packard, one of the old residents of this county, was born in Massachusetts October 28, 1817. He was the oldest son born to Chester and Eunice (Sadler) Packard, both natives of Massachusetts, of English descent. The great-grandfather of Chester Packard emigrated from England to America and located at Bridgewater, Mass. To him all persons in this country by that name may trace their descent. In 1833 our subject accompanied his father to Licking <strong>County</strong>, Ohio, where he grew up to manhood working upon a farm. In 1842 he came to this county and located in Union, now Allen Township. In February 1872 he located in the town of Macy, where he has since rsided. He learned he carpenter’s trade early in life and this has been his chief occpation ever since. He, however, taught school some during his earlier life, and a portion of his attention has been given to agricultural pursuits. March 12, 1840, he was united in marriage to Eliza J. Bryant, a native of Licking <strong>County</strong>, Ohio, born of German and Scotch-Irish parents, June 15, 1820. She was the daughter of Charles and Nancy (Mesearvy) Bryant, both natives of Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Packard are the parents of eleven children, eight of whom are living: Charles C., Thomas J., Nancy E., Bryant W., Noah S., Franklin P., Silas E., Ira B., Laura B., Nels on S., and Sumner D. Of these Thomas J., Noah S. and Nelson S. are deceased. Mrs. Packard is a member of the Christian church. Politically, Mr. Packard is a Democrat. He has been honored with the office of Justice of the Peace two terms, and the office of Constable two and one-half terms. As such he discharged his duties in a creditable manner. He has now been a resident of Miami <strong>County</strong> over forty-four years, and is one of her most highly respected citizens. [History of Miami <strong>County</strong>, Indiana, 1887, Brant & Fuller. p. 528] PACKER, FREDERICK B. [Richland Township] BIOGRAPHY On the 22d of November, 1790, a son was born to one of the Revolutionary soldiers, whom he named John Packer. He received a limited education in his native State of Pennsylvania, and in about 1812 or 1813 was united in marriage to Elizabeth Brutzman, whose father also saw service in the Revolution. They located in Northampton <strong>County</strong>, Penn., whence they removed, in 1833, to Perry <strong>County</strong>, Ohio, where Mrs. Packer died February 19, 1849, having been preceded by her husband nearly fourteen years. They were the parents of eight children, of whom Frederick, the subject of this sketch, was the first, born in Northampton <strong>County</strong>, Penn., December 6, 1813. Mr. Packer had but little opportunity to receive an education, hence he terms it common or limited. In 1833, he removed with his parents to Perry <strong>County</strong>, Ohio, where, in June, 1836, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Long, of German lineage, and a native of
