        JOHN B. BROUGH is a native of England, and a son of GEORGE and ANN
     M. BROUGH, both natives of the same country; his parents came to
     America in 1831, and located in Susquehanna County, Penn.; his father
     came to Indiana in 1844, and established his claim to the present
     homestead, and broke thirteen acres, but did not live to occupy it.
     JOHN B. BROUGH came to his present place in 1845, where he has since
     lived; he began the business of milling before he became of age, in
     Lake County, which was the first effort there begun.  On September 19,
     1847, he was married to Miss ELIZABETH CASTLEMAN, a native of Ohio, by
     whom he had thirteen children - ELLIS (deceased), MARIA, GEORGE P.,
     ELIZABETH, ANN C., EMMA, ALICE, REBECCA, JAMES, WILLIAM, U. A., JOHN
     (deceased) and ELIZABETH (deceased).  Mr. BROUGH owns 120 acres in his
     present farm and fifty-two in Lake County; he has a good frame resi-
     dence, and good water privileges.  Mr. BROUGH'S parents endured the
     hardships and privations of the pioneers, who broke the sod and
     cleared the land in the early days.
