Looking for Lewis & Malinda SCRUTCHFIELD/CRUTCHFIELD/SCRITCHFIELD (both born ca. 1808, he in PA, she in IN) who appear to have settled in the Hardinville area of Crawford Co. ca. 1850.

Rhuny dies or disappears (no further info on him) and Arminda remarries 2nd Shedric WILSON ca. 1863. This family is supposed to have moved to Vermilion Co. prior to moving to Pierce Co.
