BIOGRAPHY: They lived in the Blue Grass state until 1827. Thence they emigrated to Putnam County, IN., and from there, removed to Boone County, IN., about 1838. We next find them on the other side of the Mississippi River in Benton County, Iowa, taking up their abode in Marysville, in October 1847. This was during the early settlement of that region and Charles Epperson improved a large farm from the wilderness. He became well-to-do, but in 1863 sold out and improved another farm in Harrison township. He was first a Whig and then a Republican, a man warmly interested in the success of his party. For many years he was a member of the Christian Church. He was widely and favorably known and stood high in his community, his word being considered as good as his bond. He left a valuable estate. Taken from "The Story Of The Epperson Family of Albemarle County, in Virginia" by Edna Brinkman.
