Excerpt from "Biography of Jonathan Ellis Layne" (son)
In the year 1839 in August, [2] my father died after about two weeks illness, leaving Mother with seven small children, with only two of them large enough to help her and also leaving some five hundred dollars in debts to pay. It was ordered that the farm and improvements be sold which was done the next year and the family moved to or near Bowling Green near my grandfather’s Lee Bybee’s place.
