from "The History of Hendricks County [Indiana] 1914-1976", edited by John R. McDowell.(977.253), pages 399-400, biography written by descendant Franklin Lewis:
"Jonathan Larsh was born on November 5, 1794, near Paris, Kentucky. He was the ninth child of Charles and Sarsh [Sarah?] Van Swearingen Larsh. His gravestone can be found in Lingeman Cemetery at the southwest edge of Brownsburg, Indiana, slightly to the left of the entrance. The inscription lists the date of his death as June 2, 1854, thus his sojorn in Indiana was of short duration, and few records can be found pertaining to him. His wife's gravestone is beside him: Elizabeth McNutt Larsh, died on July 28, 1860, age 60 years, 10 months.
