Notes for William HEATON

Son of Jonah Heaton and Elizabeth -----. Born near Heaton's Corner,
near Louisville, Kentucky.
From http://debmurray.tripod.com/indiana/indbioref-162.htm [10/2010]:
He [EARL CLAYTON MCCOOL] was born at West Middleton, Howard County, December 27, 1899, son of Calvin G. and Nellie (Endicott) McCool. His ancestry runs back to Colonial times, and a conspicuous feature of the family record is the number of soldiers who
have adorned it. Mr. McCool's mother was a descendant of John Endicott, who came to America from England in 1628. One of his mother's grandfathers was Price Odell, who was born in Indiana, in 1822, and lived to the age of ninety-three, passing away in
1915. Mr. McCool's maternal grandfather, Abner Madison Endicott, enlisted in the Union army at the age of fifteen. He served three years, took part in sixteen major engagements and was with General Sherman on the march to the sea. He died in 1926. He
was wounded once, and two of his brothers were shot down by his side. In the paternal line Mr. McCool is a great-great-grandson of Col. William Heaton, a colonel in the War of 1812. The paternal grandfather, Jesse McCool, born in 1837, was a soldier in
the Union army a year and six months. He died in 1877, as a result of the injuries received in action.
