William Inman was born Feb. 7, 1832, in Clarke county, Ohio. His parents, John and Hannah Inman, were natives
of England, and came to this country about the year 1815, settling in Ohio. His educational advantages were limited
to the common schools of the country; in 1838 he came with his parents to this county when all was wild and unbroken,
almost equal to his native place. His father purchased 235 acres of land at the Government price ($1.25 per acre);
they then moved on the land, and began improving it. Our subject was married Jan. 3, 1848, to Miss Adelia Whitman,
daughter of Joel and Artemisia (Hewitt) Whitman, and their 8 children are: William C., Alma V., Ann M., Frances
E., John A., George M., Martha M. and Artemisia. Mr. I. owns 158 acres of land, worth $45 per acre, and is a Republican.
