He is living with his wife Sariah Keene whom he had married in Shelby County, IL on 1 Feb 1831, performed by Shelton Alphin. Note that this had to be a second or later marriage. He, Rufus, is shown as being born in South Carolina."

Nancy Glaysis. Nancy married ¹ Rufus Inman Jr. on 12 Sep 1822.

24 Oct 2019, Ancestry DNA is claiming her parents as Dudley D. Glass (1768-1841) and Margaret Russell (1775-1810). This is based on DNA matches between Harris Donnel and descendants of Dudley Duncan Glass and Margaret Russell. I can find no "paper evidence" to support this.

According to the Bible record of Edward Inman, Nancy Glaysis married Rufus Inman. By the same record Mary Glaysis married Thomas Inman, Rufus' brother. I am fairly certain that Mary and Nancy must be sisters. There is a marriage record for Thomas Inman and Polly Glass that matches that Bible record marriage date exactly. Edward Inman may have mis-spelled "Glass" as "Glaysis". This relationship needs research.

Another early settler was Thomas Pugh, a native of North Carolina, who when quite young moved with his parents to the state of Kentucky, where he grew up, and married and raised a family. In the spring of 1819 he moved with his family to and located near the Cold Spring settlement, not far from the residence of Simeon Wakefield. The place is now known as the Milligan farm. Mr. Pugh was a man of considerable force of character, and enterprising to a high degree. At the time of his arrival here he had a family of three children, a daughter and two sons. The daughter is now deceased; the sons, John and Robert Pugh, are at present both residents of Tower Hill township. In 1830 Thomas Pugh purchased a farm one mile north of Shelbyville, and began the improvement of the same, and lived there until his death, which occurred in 1858 or 1859. It is related by Robert Pugh that, for many years after his father came to the county, they could find the horns of the elk and buffalo lying in many places on the prairies. Game at this period was found in abundance, there being plenty of bear, wolves, panthers, wild cats, deer, wild turkeys, and numerous small game. Thomas Pugh was quite celebrated as a hunter, and was the most successful Nimrod of the settlement. The nearest mill for the pioneers was at Greenville, in Bond county. It was a horse-mill, and occasionally when Mr. Pugh went to mill he would bring home with him powder and lead, salt and such other things as the Indians needed, which he would exchange for bees' wax, dressed hides, and other trinkets. Pugh was on very friendly terms with the red men, and was much loved and respected by them for his honesty. Robert Pugh says that in the early times bears were very plentiful, and one could hardly walk into the forests without encountering bear signs. The bears and wolves destroyed much stock for the pioneer. The hunter would frequently come across deer that had been partly eaten by panthers, wild cats, and catamounts; the latter were very numerous. Mr . Robert Pugh says that he killed twelve catamounts one winter; and that often large, fat hogs would come up with several pounds of flesh eaten out of their backs, the result of attacks by bears. These hogs were in a semi-wild state and were very vicious, and when in droves would frequently drive off the bears and other wild animals.

It may be interesting in this connection to mention a little trade made by Thomas Pugh soon after he came to the settlement. He gave a cow and calf for a log-cabin, and it was used in common by the whole neighborhood for miles around; to use Mr. Robert Pugh's language, the chain was "kept hot." Implements of all kinds were very scarce among the early settlers, especially those made of iron. [The History of Shelby and Moultrie Counties, Illinois]
