The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Union Township, page 722
Robert Bronaugh, only son of Thomas and Cynthia Bronaugh, was born Nov. 8, 1819, in Lincoln County, Ky. When he was three years of age his mother died, after which his father was twice married. In 1833 his father moved to Hendricks County, Ind., and made his home near New Winchester for about fourteen years. He then moved to Missouri, where he died. Our subject accompanied his father to Hendricks County, remaining here till 1842. He then returned to Kentucky, and there married Miss Mary Taylor. Eight children have been born to them, six of whom are living--Elizabeth C., George T., Charles T., Mary V., John W., and James T. After his marriage Mr. Bronaugh resided in Garrard County, Ky., till 1863, when he returned to Hendricks County, Ind., and in 1864 settled on the place where he still resides, in Union Township, where he has 100 acres of well cultivated land. Mr. Bronaugh is a member of the Odd Fellows order.
