From Tartt's History of Gibson County Indiana, page 54:
We append the following, as the recollections of the venerable Patsey Ealston, (nee Neely), widow of Andrew D. Ralston, who now at the advanced age of ninety-two years, resides in Fort Branch. In regard to the early events she seems to possess a memory unimpaired. She is the fifth of a family of nine children born to Joseph and Martha Neely. Her parents came to this county in March, 1805. They made a short stop with John Latham's father, who was then living where Princeton now stands. Subsequently, they moved to a farm about three miles from where David Robb and family were then living, south of White Eiver. Joseph Neely and wife were natives of Pennsylvania. In 1790 Mr. Neely and family moved to Kentucky and lived for about two years near Lexington in that state; then moved to Mercer County, Ky., where Mrs. Ralston was born, Oct. 19, 1792. ...
After the death of her parents Mrs. Ralston returned to Kentucky and lived with a sister in Bath County, near Licking Eiver. Here she became acquainted with and married Andrew D. Ralston in November, 1817, remaining in that vicinity until May 1, 1818, when she returned to this county with her husband and settled in Princeton. He was a blacksmith and worked at his trade there about eight years. In 1826 they moved on a farm about one mile southeast of Fort Branch. There Mr. Ralston died Jan. 4, 1829. At that time their family comprised five children, two sons and three daughters, viz., Dr. W. G. Ralston, a physician in Evansville, and Martha J. Hopkins, a resident of Fort Branch. The third child was accidently killed on the farm at the age of seven. Nancy Holcomb also resides in Fort Branch, and Elizabeth Hemmenway. The fifth child, lives in Boonville, Warrick County, this state.
