    Notes 
    • Some time around 1833 William and Elizabeth moved overland to Shelby County, Indiana and settled in the forests of Van Buren Township, experiencing for several years all the vicissitudes of pioneer life. Arriving at their destination before any preparations had been made for their reception, the family was obliged to live for some weeks in the covered wagon, but in due time a rude log cabin was erected, after which prospects became brighter and more encouraging. After clearing a portion of his land and adding very masterfully to his value, Mr. Totten moved to Missouri, where he lost his wife; later he returned to Shelby County and here spent the remainder of his days.
