The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Guilford Township, pages 625-626
Isaiah Sivage is a native of North Carolina, born near Elizabeth City, Sept. 18, 1826, a son of John and Ann Sivage, natives of the same State. When he was sixteen years of age he left his native State and came to Indiana, stopping the first winter in Richmond. He then removed to Hancock County, and in 1846 to Hendricks County, and found employment on a farm near Bridgeport. He was married in 1848 to Axie Hudson, and settled on Mill Creek, six miles southwest of Danville, in the woods, where he cleared and improved a farm. In the spring of 1860 he sold his farm and bought another of 140 acres, three and a half miles south of Plainfield, where he lived twenty-four years, and in 1884 rented his farm and moved to Plainfield, where he now has a livery and sale stable, and is also engaged in buying and shipping horses. His wife died in 1856, leaving two children, both of whom died soon after. In 1860 he married Sarah Hadley, who died in 1864, leaving two children—Indiana and William E. Jan. 31, 1866, he married Eunice Lindley, daughter of Thomas and Mary Lindley, of Parke County, Ind. Mr. Sivage and his family are members of the society of Friends.
