Someone in Topeka told me a few years ago that more Kansas pioneers came from Indiana than any other state. I always found that very interesting.
I recently took a closer look at my family tree than I had before and determined that my great-great-grandfather moved from Davis, Indiana - near Michigan City - to La Cygne, Kansas some time after his last child was born in 1861 He died there in 1886. His son - my great-grandfather - was born in Indiana in 1852 so would have moved with the family as a youth. He died across the border in Adrian, Missouri in 1928.
