    Notes:

    Esau Presnell was born on July 15, 1812, in his native state of North Carolina. He lived with his parents until he joined a group of emigrants that came to Indiana where they settled in Clay County on July 10, 1833. This part of Indiana was mainly a wilderness. When Esau arrived he had $25.00 in silver which he loaned to his uncle, John Sturdevant. Soon after Esau came to Clay County, he found employment shoveling dirt on the construction of the National Road in the locality of Williamstown. He earned 62 ½ cents a day and he invested his earnings in land. He joined his uncle in buying and acquiring more land from the government. On March 19, 1835, Esau married Nancy Green, in a ceremony performed by Esquire Pierce Jones. The improvement of his land and the making of a farm engaged all his attention and energies. Esau noticed that there were no stores nearby so he constructed a small log building in his yard and engaged in merchandising. In 1850, in the building of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad, he sub-contracted one mile of grading and accepted forty per cent of the contract price in bonds in the road. He continued to acquire additional bonds and when the transfer of the road to the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton occurred, Esau held as much as $25,000.00 interest in the road.

    In 1855, Esau sold his farm to Henry Dial and in 1856 he embarked in merchandising at Center Point which began as a town that year. He continued in business up to the time of his permanent retirement in 187l. Previous to the burning of the court house, under the old constitution, Esau served a term, perhaps two terms as county commissioner. In 1861, he was again elected commissioner, serving one term as president of the board. During his fifty-five years as a resident of Clay County, he made three trips back to his native state. On the third trip he was able to travel by railroad and not by horseback. On this trip he returned with his mother. All through his life, Esau adhered tenaciously to never engage the services of a physician. He held to this resolution until a short time before his death. Esau was one of the largest landowners in the county. He was known for his integrity and unbounded confidence in the native integrity of the poor man. Though wealthy, Esau was known for never denying his fellow man credit or oppressing him. At the time of his retirement, few people knew the volume of obligations owed to him. When questioned about the loans, Esau would reply, "They'll all pay at some time. It is true that many of these claims could not be collected by process of law, but by being indulgent, giving them their own time, practically all of them, from their sense of appreciation and the right, will come up and redeem their paper."
    Esau was a simple, frugal citizen whose qualities endeared him to a large circle of friends. He died at his residence at Center Point on October 29, 1888.
