Note

The name of Eliza Burge comes from Barbara Farnsworth, a descendant of William's brother John.

Pat Topper thinks that William's birth date was actually Dec 1 1813.

From Barbara Farnsworth: In October 1865 William Hauger, his wife, Eliza and their six children, Jim, Mary, Emma, Malinda, Henry, and Robert, loaded up their possessions on wagons and started for Middletown, Indiana. His brother Solomon, a farmer who lived on the Hauger Hill, one mile north of town, and his brother-in-law, Sim Elliott, a blacksmith in Middletown, urged William to come up here from near Paole, Orange County, Indiana, to engage in the building of wagons, thinking it an excellent opportunity for him. It is not known just where he had his shop, but most likely it was with Sim Elliott in his blacksmith shop. Solomon Hauger and Sim Elliott had moved to Middletown some time earlier. Sim Elliott was married to Lavina Hauger.
