"James McAfee, Sr. was a large, squarely built man, six feet high, with large bones, strong passions, and great decision of character. He had large hazel eyes. When aroused he was ready for any enterprise, and shrank not from danger. Nevertheless, he was amenable to reason, and could be ruled by gentleness and love."

When the rest of the family migrated to central Kentucky, James stayed behind with his granddaughter, Mary (McAfee) Woods and her family.
7. From Pat Armstrong: "The historical map showed that James McAfee, Sr's land was in the extreme south-west corner of Botetourt County where it now adjoins Craig County and Roanoke County. Some of his land extended across the county line into what is now Roanoke County. That part includes the grounds of a former tuberculosis hospital on state highway 779."
"The Prillaman book is more of a family history book than a genealogy book, although I did find the information on the McDonald family useful for genealogy purposes. The book describes land holdings of various families in Botetourt and Roanoke counties and how the land ownership changed over the years. It has a lot of photos, but the printing process is so bad that the photos look like tenth-generation Xerox copies.
This is the short section titled, The McAfee Family:
------------------>
James McAfee, Sr. and his family came to live in the area in 1749. A deed was recorded February 17, 1747 for his land in a settlement known as Cedar Swamp on Holstein's Branch at place known as Indian Camp. On December 15, 1749 he received a 300-acre grant on the Catawba, a branch of the James.
In 1763 his sons, James, Jr. and George, took over the 300-acre tract of land on the Catawba. They held this land until 1779 when they migrated to Kentucky. The land was sold to Archibald Woods.
The McAfee land on Holstein's branch eventually came into possession of Archibald Fischer, Rene LeForce, Samuel Phillips, George Painter, Robert Scanland, Michael Spessard, Jacob Painter and heirs, A. Reynolds, William Woods and the Chapmans who operated Roanoke Red Sulphur Springs. The property was purchased by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1901 and in 1908 The Catawba Sanatorium was built. Of course, the Sanatorium was to become Catawba Hospital in our time.
The McAfee boys, James, Jr., George and Robert, along with James McCown (sic) and Samuel Adams went on a trip of exploration to Kentucky which took them considerable time. While in Kentucky they completed a number of surveys for good land. However, they were unable to move to Kentucky with their families until after the battle of Point Pleasant because of Indian problems.
The McAfee family, with the exception of James McAfee, Sr., left Virginia for Kentucky in 1779. While there is no record of any person by the name of McAfee in Botetourt County in 1783, information available indicates that James McAfee, Sr. died in Virginia in 1785.
While the McAfee family is no longer a part of Botetourt or Roanoke counties the name is forever brought to mind by the majestic "knob" rising above all other mountains in the range surrounding the Roanoke Valley."

"His wife, Jane McMichael, whom he called 'Jinny,' was a woman above the average size, tall and dignified. In a deed executed in 1767 she joins her husband, signing her name as Jannet. She had a remarkably fine face, and a prominent forehead. Her eyes were dark grey in color, and her hair black. Her expression combined decision with mildness and conciliation. When her husband would become aroused and angry she knew how to calm and silence him by her gentle and persuasive manner."

Colette Outhier (outhier at verizon.net) provided the information from A. G. Liebmann, and is interested in further information on this John McAfee, particularly in substantiating his connection to George and Susan (Curry) McAfee.
Liebmann, August George The McAfee-Skiles-Liebmann Memorial. Self-published, Chicago, 1929. The following information was excerpted from the book by Colette Outhier:
1784 - 1867 "John McAfee, the first child and eldest son of George McAfee, a slave-owner, trader, explorer, adventurer and soldier of fortune, migrated to the Carolinas when he became of age and became lost to his immediate family, was thought by his cousin, General Robert B. McAfee, to have died in the Carolinas, an old bachelor. General Robert B. McAfee died in 1849. 1812 - He served as sergeant in Captain N. Gibbs' Company, Colonel James Bunch's Regiment, East Tennessee Militia, from January, 1814, to July, 1814; at battle of Tohopeka or Horseshoe in General Coffee's brigade.
1827 - He married Matilda Hopton, sister of Enoch Hopton, in Sequatchee Valley, Tennessee, and of this union had issue:
William Wallace, born ...... 1829
Bertha Ann, born ............ 1834
Archibald Marion, born .... 1838.
1838 - He migrated to Gasconade County, Missouri, residing near Drake (P.O.), where his wife died in the same year, and where she is buried.
1842 - He remarried Mrs. Caroline Massie at Mt. Sterling, Saline County, Missouri. She died in Kansas about 1898. She was born (supposedly of Irish immigrant parents) in Smith County, Tennessee, October 27, 1822. (Wid. Cert. 803.)
1846-47 - He served as private in Captain Parson's Company F, 1st Regiment, Missouri Mounted Volunteers. Copy of muster roll dated June 20, 1846, at Fort Leavenworth, shows company came from Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri, distant from Leavenworth 190 miles (ninety in the company). Se Doniphan's Expedition, reprint, Crane & Co., Topeka, Kansas, 1907. Also Senate Document 608, 63rd Congress, 2nd Sesion (sic).) 1849 - Operated a steamboat, in connection with other members of his family, out of Hannibal, Missouri, and in 1849 made up a wagon outfit for the California gold rush, taking along his sons, William Wallace McAfee and Archibald Marion McAfee. They left St. Louis with thirty-two head of oxen, a wagon and trail wagon, with about $1,200.00 in provisions, and after six months of very severe hardship arrived in California at the "diggings" with the front wheels of one of the wagons, that had been improvised into a card, and with the scrub-yoke of oxen. The party located placer and cleaned up considerable dust. The following year John McAfee returned home by was of the Panama water route, and they were held up and robbed by a party of brigands, as they were crossing the Isthmus, and most of the treasure stolen. William Wallace, then being of age, elected to stay in "Californy," and the younger brother, Archibald Marion, desired to remain with him, but being a minor, and as customary of the clan and the times, he offered to buy his freedom from parental restraint by offering his father several hundred dollars, which he produced, much to his father's surprise, and the deal was closed. Young Arch had earned this money in his spare time by washing the shirts of the miners at one dollar each.
1855 - John McAfee made a second trip to California by the water route, via Cape Horn Steamer, and then by Nicaragua on his return. On this visit he sounded out his sons regarding secession, but as California was overwhelmingly a free state, having been admitted in 1850 as such, and in their new world they had become converted to the Union unconditionally, after a stormy meeting John McAfee said to his sons: "You nasty Black Republicans, I hope I never set eyes on you again." And he never did. These brothers of Bertha Ann McAfee were last heard from by her about the year 1869. They were mining at Cornucopia, White Pine County, Nevada. The History of the Bench and Bar in Missouri gives a short sketch of his career, but no family history: "A noted character, several times in the Legislature; elected Speaker 1861. Was extreme pro-slavery Democrat. He was not a lawyer."
1867 - John McAfee, after a life filled with action and adventure, died August 5, at Morrison, Gasconade County, Missouri."
Bertha Ann McAfee married George Baker Skiles. Their children were: William, John and Mary, died in childhood; Louisa Jane, married but without issue, and Nancy Caroline. Nancy Caroline Skiles married Henry Liebmann. The author, August George Liebmann, was their second child.

Peter McAfee (pmcafee at ieee.org) asked a similar question: "I have a mystery here. From the book "The McAfee-Skiles-Liebmann Memorial"
by August George Liebmann 1929 I find;

It was written by Robert B. McAfee that he (John) was thought to have died
in the Carolinas, an old bachelor prior to 1849. Liebmann writes otherwise.
In 1849 John operated a steamboat out of Hannibal MO. Later in 1849 John
with his sons William Wallace McAfee and Archibald Marion McAfee made up a
wagon outfit, left St Louis and 6 months later arrived in California. In
1850 John returned to MO, the boys remained in California.
John McAfee later served as Speaker of the Missouri House of
Representatives. John died 5 Aug 1867 at Morrison, Gasconade County, Missouri.
On 3 Feb 2000 E-mail from Clyde Gotcher reported the found the following

It appears that the families may be the same, Johns wife, Caroline appears

another matter. The county and state looks fine.
Anyway, who is John?"

GEORGE H. BUCHANAN was born September 1, 1838, and is the fifth of five sons and two daughters, all living except one, born to Thomas G. and Janie (Caldwell) Buchanan, who were born in Green, now Taylor County, January 1801, and September, 1802, respectively. Thomas G. Buchanan was a farmer and slave owner, and died in 1867; his widow in 1883. He was a son of John and Jane (Gants) Buchanan, who were born in Wythe and Botetourt Counties respectively. She came to Kentucky with her parents, Thomas and Mary (McAfee) Gants in 1779 and located on Salt River. Thomas Gants was in the battle of Blue Lick, and escaped, but was killed by the Indians a few weeks after the battle in 1783. He was a man with a strong constitution and iron will, and of more than ordinary intelligence, of English extraction, went from New England to North Carolina, and thence moved to Virginia. John Buchanan was a farmer and stock trader, and did considerable freighting with wagons in an early day. He was born May 17, 1768, and came to Kentucky in 1782, and settled on the Salt River, and in Green County in April, 1800. He was under Gen. Logan against the Indians, was a robust and healthy man, and a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church. He acquired considerable property, but his conscience would not permit him to hold slaves. He died September 20, 1834. He was a son of George and Margaret (McAfee) Buchanan, natives of Virginia and South Carolina respectively. George Buchanan was a soldier of the war for independence, and settled on the Salt River, four miles below Harrodsburg, in 1782. He was a farmer, but never would own slaves or allow his children to own any. He died in June, 1813, at the age of sixty-seven years. He was a son of James Buchanan, who emigrated from Scotland, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church, to which the family still cling. The Buchanans first settled in Green, three miles east of Campbellsville. Mrs. Thomas Buchanan was a daughter of James Caldwell who was a soldier in the war of 1812, and an early settler just east of Campbellsville; was born in Taylor County, Ky. G.H. Buchanan grew to manhood on a farm and received a good English education. At the age of twenty-two he engaged in the mercantile business with his brother, continued two years, after which he located on a farm of 300 acres on the banks of Green River, near Roachville. He lost the old residence by fire, but has rebuilt and now is the possessor of the finest modern residence in the county. In October, 1862, he was united in marriage to Sallie Shively, a daughter of John W. and Jane (Roach) Shively, who were born in Green County, but whose parents came from Virginia in an early day. Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan had born by their happy union five children, three now living: Corae H., Emma S. and Hattie A. Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan are members, respectively, of the Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal Churches. He was a member of the Grange, and in politics is a Democrat. His first presidential vote was for Bell, in 1860.

"The Buchanans went from Scotland to Ireland, thence to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A branch of the family came to Augusta County, Virginia, and from there to the southwest part of Virginia. The following was taken from an old Bible written by Alexander Buchanan, one of the sons of John Buchanan #1. The Bible belonged to Grundy Buchanan of Rich Valley, Virginia. "Alexander Buchanan, native of Ireland, had two sons who came to America about the beginning of the 18th century, settled in Chester County, Nottingham Township, Pennsylvania. Their names were Janes and Archibald.
'James Buchanan came to Angusta County, Virginia, and married Martha Allison of the same county. Their children were:

PARKE COUNTY PORTRAIT AND BIO RECORD - pAGE 245 This is a long Article so will only highlight the most important parts.
Alexander Buchanan for forty-five years has been Justice of the Peace in WashingtonTwp, Parke County. At the time of his father's death, which occurred on March 29, 1838, our subject came into possession of the old homestead,which consisted of about three hundred and twenty acres, and to this he, with his son Joseph, has added two hundred and eighty acres. As a farmer his career has been very successful and he has laid up sufficient to surround his declining years with every comfort. He was born in the year 1813 in Mercer County, Ky., and is the son of James and Margaret (McCampbell) Buchanan.
The father was a son of George and Margaret (McAfee) Buchanan, the former of whom was born in Va. The Buchanan and Mcafee familes both had representatives in the Revolutionary War. George Buchanan was a Whig in politics and was engaged in battle with the Indians several times. He was reared under the old roof-tree but having a step-mother he started out to make his own living when quite young. He had but one own borther, David, who died when young, but had two half-brothers, William and John. In his native State he married the daughter of James McAfee and shortly after went to Ky, where he entered Government land in Mercer County. His death occurred about the year 1812, in the faith of the Presbyterian Church, which he helped to establish in Mercer Co. He reared a family of Ten children of whom James the the oldested, the others being John, Aleander, George, Polly (Mrs Wm Provine), Margaret (Mrs.Thomas Carr); Jane (Mrs James MCCampbell), Ann (wife of Joseph Woods), Nany (Mrs.Thomas Gilkerson), and Dorcas, wife of Joseph Woods, who is a cousin of Mrs. Ann Woods' husband.
Our subject's father was born in Va and went to Ky when about 18 yrs of age, living with his uncle McAfee. He purchased land in Mercer County and followed frrming during his life-time, though he was in the milling business for a short time with his brother. He was first married in Kentucky, when Rebecca Armstrong became his wife. They had four childre: Margaret, wife of Mathew Taylor; John, George and Robert all deceased. AFter the death of this wife Mr. Buchanan married the lady who become our subject's mother. Of her three children, two died in infancy, and our subject is the only survivor. The father left Ky and on his arrival in Parke County, entered land of the Government this being in 1820. The following yeqar, in October he brought his family in wagons to the place whifh was his home untl his death March 29, 1833.
The gentleman of whom this is a brief bio lived with his parents until their death. He was married in 1839 to Miss Harriet, daughter of Benjamin an Margaret (Youel) Allen, who were natives of the Old Dominion, while Mrs. Buchanan came from the Blue Grass region. Children of our subject: Joseph C; Elizabeth J., wife of John McMutry; William Y who wedded Mary Mitchell and one who died in Infancy."

"On June 10, 1770, he bought 163 acres on Catawba Creek in Botetourt County, Virginia from his father-in-law, James McAfee. George sold the land back to James McAfee on May 15, 1772. He later moved to what is now Washington County, Virginia.
In his father's will, which was proved in 1765, he had received 107 acres of a parcel of land on Walker's Creek in Augusta. In November of 1782, while living in Washington County, he and his brothers, who had also received parcels of the same property on Walker's Creek, deeded that land to their brother David, which amounted to 415 acres.
About 1782 George and Margaret moved family to Salt River in Mercer County, Kentucky. On July 11, 1794, he gave a power of attorney to Arthur Campbell to receive a deed from James Wood for 200 acres on Cedar Creek in Washington County, Virginia, receiving the deed from Mary Wood on November 10, 1794.
George died in May 5, 1813 in Mercer County, Kentucky. We don't have a death date for his wife, Margaret."

JAMES J. McAFEE was born February 23, 1824. His father, John McAfee, a native of Botetourt County, Va., was born October 20, 1775, removed in infancy, with his parents, to that portion of Kentucky now embraced in Mercer County, where he was reared, and in the war of 1812 furnished a substitute on account of sickness. He was a farmer and a slave-holder, a stanch Presbyterian, connected with the New Presbyterian Church, a Democrat, and died April 28, 1833. He was the son of Samuel McAfee, who with his brothers, Robert, William, George and James, came to Kentucky in 1773, made their surveys of lands on Salt River on a part of which James J. was born and now resides; he returned again in 1775, made improvements, and planted fruit tree seeds, and permanently located in 1779. With his family, in times of danger he lived in the fort at McAfee's Station; was active and aggressive as an Indian fighter, slew the Indian who killed his comrade at his side; owned 1,400 acres of land north of Harrodsburg, was the first magistrate in Kentucky, a prominent farmer and slave-holder, was one of the founders of the New Providence Church, and died June 8, 1807. He married a Miss McConsic, and their offspring were John, William, Samuel, Robert, Hannah (Daviess), Mary (Moore), and Jane (Macgoffin), John first married Miss McCama, and their children were Samuel, Joseph, William, John, and Cynthia (Allen). His second wife was Mrs. Dicey Curry, daughter of David Caldwell, and from their union sprang Caldwell, Mary A. (Singleton, Williams and King), James J., Phoebe E. (Thompson), and Francis M. James J. first married, 1845, Miss Elizabeth J., daughter of William and Priscilla (Armstrong) Adams, of Mercer County, who died June 17, 1847, and from their union there was one child, Elizabeth J., deceased. June 3, 1851, he was united in marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Lee and Nancy Lillard, of Mercer County, who died November 3, 1858, aged twenty-seven years, and to them were born Joel P., deceased, and Nannie C. (Davis). He next married, in 1860, Mrs. Minerva J. Harris, daughter of Jonathan and Eliza (Hamilton) Nichols, of Bloomington, Ind., and their union has been favored by the birth of Monroe Harris, deceased, and Bettie H. (Hudson). Mr. McAfee was engaged for a period of six years in merchandising. He is now a farmer, owning 127 acres of well improved and productive land, in McAfee Precinct. He is a member of New Providence Presbyterian Church, also an Ancient Odd Fellow, and a Democrat. The ancestors of the McAfee family were identified with the reforms of Oliver Cromwell; afterward removed to Ireland on account of the persecutions of the Covenanters, assisted in placing William of Orange on the throne, removed to Lancaster County, Penn., and thence to Virginia. Joseph, Samuel, William and John, sons of John, and grandsons of Samuel McAfee, about the year 1835, with their families, emigrated from Mercer County, Ky., to Marion County, Mo., and procured their lands at Congress price, which was $1.25 per acre. After partially improving their homes, and the settlement had become somewhat strengthened by the influx of immigration, they set about building a house of worship; they soon had a comfortable frame building erected, which they named New Providence, for the church they left in Kentucky. Joseph, Samuel and John were elected elders. Joseph, who married Priscilla, a grand-daughter of the old pioneer John Armstrong, educated two of his sons for the ministry; the oldest one, John Armstrong McAfee, was one of the founders, and president of Park College, ten miles from Kansas City, Mo.., which has been in successful operation for a number of years.

"Vallonia, the oldest town in Jackson County, was so named because it is located in a valley. It is situated in Section 29, Township 5, Range 4, and in Driftwood Township. It was laid out by Jesse B. Durham, Judge John McAfee and Thomas Ewing in the year 1810, but no plat of the town was recorded until October 7, 1856, when it was surveyed by Thomas Carr, and Andrew J. Miller was the proprietor. This consisted of twenty- four lots, with Main Street running north and south, and Commerce running east and west. At the time of the organization of the county Vallonia was the largest and about the only town in the county. While this was yet a part of Washington County court was held here and the county business transacted. It took rank among the early towns of Indiana Territory, and at the time the Territorial Legislature was adjourned to meet at Jefferson- ville, two of the five delegates composing that body voted for the meeting to take place at Vallonia. It thereby came within one vote of being the capital of the Territorial government for the time.
Probably the first house built in Vallonia was a small log-cabin, with puncheon floors, stick chimney and greased paper windows, built by Jesse B. Durham, near where Mr. Rick's shoe shop now stands. Other cabins were soon erected, and in 1816, there being some demand for a tavern, Jesse B. Durham built a hewed log house just across the street from where Harrison Durham now lives and opened up the first "tavern." Some time after the location of the county seat at Brownstown this house was moved to that place, and is now used by Frank Fassold for a barber shop."

GARRARD D. ECCLES, a citizen of Pleasant Township, is a native of Mercer County, Ky., born March 3, 1820, and was the son of Samuel and Jane (Darland) Eccles, who were respectively natives of West Virginia and Pennsylvania. His father was born March 15, 1788, and was the son of Joseph and Jane (Carr) Eccles, both of whom were natives of Ireland. His mother was born January 22, 1785, and was the daughter of Garrard Darland, who was a native of Scotland. His parents married in Mercer County, Ky., about 1815. They emigrated from Mercer County, Ky., to Johnson County, Ind., in 1835, and located on the farm our subject now occupies, in Pleasant Township, which has been his home ever since, and where his parents both spent the rest of their lives. His mother died November 5, 1853, and his father died August 30, 1859. At the age of twenty he took up the carpenter's trade. This was finished in due time, and furnished his chief employment for a number of years. He also occasionally worked some upon the farm. In 1843, he and his brother, Joseph, went to the state of Iowa. They started on the 14th day of February, and reached Washington County, Iowa, some time in March. During the three seasons following this, our subject was employed breaking prairie land in Washington and Johnson counties, that state. In 1846, he returned to this county, but in 1854, he went to Washington, Tazwell Co., Ills., where, for three years, he worked at the carpenter's trade and clerked in a store. He then returned to the old Eccles homestead, where he has resided ever since. Since 1858, his undivided attention has been given to farming. He has owned the old homestead himself since 1859. He was married December 9, 1857, to Mary G. Lemasters. She was born in Pleasant Township, this county, November 14, 1833, and was the daughter of David and Elizabeth (Alexander) Lemasters. Her father was born in Virginia, November 14, 1805, and was the son of Richard and Gemima Lemaster. Her mother was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Crary) Alexander, the former of whom was a native of Kentucky. Her parents were married in Pleasant Township, in 1828. Her mother died in Pleasant Township in April, 1843. Her father died in White River Township, n August, 1870. Mr. and Mrs. Eccles are the parents of three children, as follows: Samuel B., born November 15, 1858; Albert C., October 20, 1861, and John C., January 25, 1864, all of whom are living. Mr. and Mrs. Eccles, and all of their children, are members of the Presbyterian Church. In politics, Mr. Eccles is a staunch democrat; he has served his township in the capacity of assessor two terms. Mr. Eccles owns a farm of 144 1/2 acres of land, about 100 of which are in cultivation.

GEORGE H. BUCHANAN was born September 1, 1838, and is the fifth of five sons and two daughters, all living except one, born to Thomas G. and Janie (Caldwell) Buchanan, who were born in Green, now Taylor County, January 1801, and September, 1802, respectively. Thomas G. Buchanan was a farmer and slave owner, and died in 1867; his widow in 1883. He was a son of John and Jane (Gants) Buchanan, who were born in Wythe and Botetourt Counties respectively. She came to Kentucky with her parents, Thomas and Mary (McAfee) Gants in 1779 and located on Salt River. Thomas Gants was in the battle of Blue Lick, and escaped, but was killed by the Indians a few weeks after the battle in 1783. He was a man with a strong constitution and iron will, and of more than ordinary intelligence, of English extraction, went from New England to North Carolina, and thence moved to Virginia. John Buchanan was a farmer and stock trader, and did considerable freighting with wagons in an early day. He was born May 17, 1768, and came to Kentucky in 1782, and settled on the Salt River, and in Green County in April, 1800. He was under Gen. Logan against the Indians, was a robust and healthy man, and a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church. He acquired considerable property, but his conscience would not permit him to hold slaves. He died September 20, 1834. He was a son of George and Margaret (McAfee) Buchanan, natives of Virginia and South Carolina respectively. George Buchanan was a soldier of the war for independence, and settled on the Salt River, four miles below Harrodsburg, in 1782. He was a farmer, but never would own slaves or allow his children to own any. He died in June, 1813, at the age of sixty-seven years. He was a son of James Buchanan, who emigrated from Scotland, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church, to which the family still cling. The Buchanans first settled in Green, three miles east of Campbellsville. Mrs. Thomas Buchanan was a daughter of James Caldwell who was a soldier in the war of 1812, and an early settler just east of Campbellsville; was born in Taylor County, Ky. G.H. Buchanan grew to manhood on a farm and received a good English education. At the age of twenty-two he engaged in the mercantile business with his brother, continued two years, after which he located on a farm of 300 acres on the banks of Green River, near Roachville. He lost the old residence by fire, but has rebuilt and now is the possessor of the finest modern residence in the county. In October, 1862, he was united in marriage to Sallie Shively, a daughter of John W. and Jane (Roach) Shively, who were born in Green County, but whose parents came from Virginia in an early day. Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan had born by their happy union five children, three now living: Corae H., Emma S. and Hattie A. Mr. and Mrs. Buchanan are members, respectively, of the Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal Churches. He was a member of the Grange, and in politics is a Democrat. His first presidential vote was for Bell, in 1860. [Biography does not make clear if John died in Taylor or Green Co., KY.]

THE FORSYTHE FAMILY. The first representative of this family in Kentucky, as far as ascertainable, was Matthew Forsythe, who was born in South Carolina March 5, 1769, and who came to this State with Gov. Adair just after the surrender of Cornwallis, and settled on the farm now owned by James Forsythe in Mercer County. He served four years in the war of 1812, was in several expeditions against the Indians, and afterward devoted his time to farming and stock raising in Mercer County. About 1790 he married Jane McAfee, daughter of Robert McAfee, and to them were born Robert, Andrew, John, William, Samuel, James, Sallie and Julia (Buford). Robert Forsythe, the eldest of these, was a soldier in the war of 1812, and afterward retired to farm life. In 1827 he married Cozzie Cardwell, and from this union spring Jane (Alverson), Sallie (Blackwood), now deceased; Mary (McAfee), also deceased; Lucy (Crockett), Lizzie (Mullins), James M., Robert and John L. the father of these children died in 1865, and his son Robert now owns the farm on which he was born, five miles north of Harrodsburg, and which contains 312 acres of productive land. Robert has been three times married, first in November, 1865, to Miss Pattie Trible, who gave birth to one child who died in infancy. His second marriage was in December, 1873, to Miss Sallie, daughter of S. W. Given, and to this union were born Lillie and Given. The third marriage was with Miss Lulie, daughter of Kinelus Ammellman. James M. Forsythe, Sr., was born January 18, 1809, on his present farm, four miles north of Harrodsburg, which farm consists of 460 acres of as good land as there is in Mercer County, and where he gives especial attention to stock raising. Mr. Forsythe first married Miss Lizzie M. Washbourn, a granddaughter of Judge Washbourn, and had born to him Jane (Curry), deceased, and Bell (Ralston). In 1853 Mr. Forsythe took for his second wife Mary Irvin, who was borne one child, Sam Forsythe. J. M. Forsythe, Jr., was born on the old homestead, know as Fountain Spring, January 6, 1826, and is the owner of 600 acres of fine land, devoting much attention to the rearing of race horses. He married Miss Katie Alexandra, and is the father of Howard, Cardwell, Fred, Naomi and little Jim. John L. Forsythe was born August 6, 1845, and was married in 1869 to Miss Sallie Woods, who has borne him six children: Nannie, Edgar, Walter, Russell, Mary and Cozzie. Mr. Forsythe resides on 425 acres of well improved land, belonging to his son Samuel, one mile from his birthplace, and is an extensive dealer in live stock. The Forsythe family are of Irish and Scotch extraction, are members of the Presbyterian Church, and in politics are Democratic.

Robert B. McAfee described his first meeting of his wife as follows: "This was the 1st day of October [1804], and for the first time I saw my future wife not then twelve years old, I thought her a very pretty little girl, but had no farther thoughts about her as my whole prospects were in another direction." And later, "On the 1st of June [1805] my sister Mrs. Adams called to see me, and noticed Mr. Cardwells daughter Mary (who I afterwards married) & observed to me that she was my girl & would make me a fine wife, she was then only twelve years old The remark struck me with great force at the time, which caused me to take more notice of her than I otherwise would, but I had no idea then that she was to be my wife, yet I was much pleased with her beauty, and took occasion to converse with her I was astonished at her intelligence as well as the ease with which she conversed with me, which was with as much steadiness as if she had been twenty years of age & her language seemed to be far above her age being not only correct but elegant, I soon viewed her as a being of superior order to most females I had met as she would reason & argue with me on many subjects I had supposed she had never thought of."

192. "GILKESON, John Calvin -- No man in Parke Co. is better and more favorably known that Squire John Calvin Gilkeson of Catlin. Throughout his manhood's years he has been active in the affairs of his twp. and vicinity. he has been continually called on for counsel for more than 40 years. He was b. in Mercer Co Ky May 27, 1809 and is the s/o Thomas and Nancy (BUCHANAN) Gilkeson, both b. in Va. In the fall of 1821 when John was a boy, his parents came to Parke Co, settling on the W 1/2 of SW 1/4 of Sec 5, Raccoon Twp, on which they built a log cabin. All seemed thrifty in the Gilkeson domain, but unluckily the father of the family had affixed his name to the bond of an unscrupulous treasurer and collector and the little home was sold by the sheriff. But the sheriff did not sell their courage. As the family moved onward John came into possession of a pair of steers, which he trained into a yoke of oxen, which he drove in repairing the the broken dam of the old mill they had built years before. He soon obtained another yoke and made some money in hauling his lumber to Rockville, where lumber was then in demand. He also rebuilt the mill in 1837, doing all the framing, millwrighting and blacksmithing himself. From 1839 to 1846 he built several flatboats, which he ran down to the Wabash River, during the spring freshets, and sold. On Sept 29, 1838 his mother d. and was borne to her rest, leaving her husband and family. Aug 24, 1842, John C. was marr. to Mary REA, d/o William and sister to the first clerk of the Parke Co. Circuit court. They have no children. In 1847, Aug 7, his father, Thomas died. On Aug 5, 1874, Mary, w/o JC Gilkeson, also died, aged about 71. In 1844 Mr. Gilkeson was elected justice of the peace in Raccoon Twp, which office he has filled ever since, wiht he exception of about 2 and a half years. he has been engaged in probate court 50 years. In 1853 he was elected an elder in the Rockville Presby. church, of which he and his wife and parents were members. His ancestry runs back to the old Scotch Presbyterian sect. Squire Gilkeson has voted whig and republican straight along, never having scratched his ticket of missed an election. In his old age he is still useful to his community, giving advice on points of law, and drawing up writings which no lawyer can criticise."

"JOHN C. GILKESON is a well-known citizen of Raccoon Township, Parke County. He was born in Mercer County, Ky., May 27, 1809, about two and a half miles from Harrisburg [sic-should be Harrodsburg]. His father, Thomas Gilkeson, was born in Pennsylvania January 26, 1779, and was a son of Thomas Gilkeson, who was probably born in the same State. The grandfather of our subject in his early life went from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and fiom there to Mercer Country, Ky., where Thomas, Jr., was married about the year 1807 to Nancy Buchanan. This lady was a native of Pennsylvania, born August 27, 1780, to George and Margaret (Macafee) Buchanan, both of whom were reared in the Presbyterian faith.
The subject of this biography is the eldest in a family of seven children, three sous and four daughters: Ann, who married Samuel W. Adams and settled in Adams Township, this county, January 21, 1853; Mary K., who was the wife of Stephen Sale, and died in Florida Township December 4, 1863; George N., who married Susan McCain, a resident of Cass County, Mo.; Isabella M., who is a maiden lady seventy-four years old, and lives with her brother, our subject; Thomas B., who died December 9, 1851; and Nancy, wife of John A. Green, of Pennington County, S. Dak. In December, 1821, the father of our subject came to the banks of the Little Raccoon, in the northernpart of Raccoon Township, and located on the farm where Squire Gilkeson now lives. He was a man of more than ordinary education and business qualification, and soon erected a sawmill on the Little Raccoon River, near his own cabin. This he continued to operate the remainder of his life in connection with his farm work. He was for a number of years a Justice of the Peace in this township, and died August 7, 1847. The mother of our subject died September 29, 1838.
The gentleman of whom we write had but limited advantages for getting an education, in fact all the school learning he ever received was before his parents came to Parke County, and that when he was eleven years of age. But he was blessed with a retentive memory and a taste for reading good literature, and is a natural-born genius. He could build a house, operate a mill, shoe a horse, and, in fact, there were few things with which he came in contact that he did not master.
Mr. Gilkeson is a man of sound judgment, and for miles around the settlers came to him forlegal avice. In 1844 he was elected to the responsible position of Justice of the Peace in his township and, with the exception of two years in the '40s, he has held the office continually. It is a fact worthy of note that in all these 3 years he has tried hundreds of cases in which were concerned numerous extensive interests and knotty questions, but when he made a decision it was as good as final, for never in a single case has a higher court reversed his decision. He is now eighty-four years old and his intellect is as bright and his decisions as clear and forcible as they were half a century ago, and had not this gentleman been afflicted with an impediment in his speech, he might, and no doubt would, have gained a national reputation instead of a local one.
In 1842 Mr. Gilkeson was married to Mary, daughter of William Rea, who came to Parke County in 1820. This amiable lady passed away August 5, 1875. In politics our subject is a stanch Republican, and formerly was quite active in local politics. At one time he joined the Know-Nothings, but at the first meeting he told thera they were rightly named, and never met with them again. He has been a member of the Presbyterian Church for sixty-three years, and was elected Elder of the congregation, which office he has filled with satisfaction to all. He has lived an upright. Christian life and is well deserving of a representation in this volume. Our subject says from 1839 to 1846 there were quite a number of flatboats run on the Raccoon. They were 16x120 feet in dimensions, and he has seen as many as twelve in one winter.

John Sanders Woods.—In the last century modern improvements have rendered all forms of travel so easy, commodious and comparatively moderate in price that the whole world travels, and seldom does a family stay in one country for one generation after another until their genealogy is fireside history and it is rare indeed that a family that has migrated from the old country to this new one can trace its honored ancestry as far back as the subject of our sketch, John Sanders Woods, of Louisville, president of the Franklin Bank.
Mr. Woods was born in Mercer county, Kentucky, August 23, 1869, and is descended from two old Kentucky families. The Woods family is traced directly back to one Woods who was a trooper in the army of Oliver Cromwell when he invaded Ireland. This Woods was so well pleased with the country that he settled in Ireland, making his home in the beautiful county of Meath. He had a son John, who married a Miss Wallup, a lineal descendant of the Earl of Loftus. In about 1726 five of the children of John Woods, namely, Michael, William, Andrew, James and Elizabeth, migrated to America, all being married at the time, and settled in Virginia and North Carolina, after having traveled and lived for some time in Pennsylvania.
Michael, the son of John the first, was the ancestor of John S. Woods of Louisville. Michael married Mary Campbell; their son Archibald married Isabella ; their son James married Jane McCoun; their son Joseph married Anne Buchanan; their son James married Priscilla Armstrong; their son John married Mary Isabella McAfee, the latter being the parents of John S. Woods, the subject of our sketch. A good long line of fine ancestors from which the present Mr. Woods may justly be proud to have descended.
On the maternal side of Mr. Woods family is another old one with an equally illustrious family tree. The McAfee family can be traced back to John McAfee, a sturdy Covenanter, one of that indomitable band who signed the Scottish National Covenant of 1638, who lived near the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, and who in the year 1672 left his native Scotland and settled in county Armagh, Ireland. His grandson, James McAfee, sailed for America in 1739, with his wife and three children, and after living many years in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, finally settled, in 1755, in Botetourt county, Virginia, where other children were born to them. Their son James was the great-great-great-grandfather of John S. Woods. He married Jane McMichiel and their son Robert, who was the founder of the family in Kentucky, was a mighty Western hunter and a companion of Daniel Boone. He married Anne McCoun, and their son General Robert B. McAfee was United States Minister to Bogota, South America, also lieutenant governor of Kentucky during the administration of Governor Desha, and was acting governor for a considerable portion of the administration of Governor Desha. He was a general at the battie of the Thames. He married Mary Cardwell, and their son William married Anna E. Crockett, the latter being the grandparents of John S. Woods.
The children of John Clelland and Mary Isabella (McAfee) Woods were: Clara, who married N. E. Jones, practicing law in the state of Missouri, where Mrs. Jones died; John Sanders; Loula, who married George Harkless of Lamar, Missouri, whose brother, a prominent lawyer of Kansas City defended Guiteau in the trial for his life for killing President Garfield; Florence married Jacob Siple, now of Nevada, Missouri; Nell H., unmarried, living in Chicago.
John Clelland Woods, father of John S., was born in Mercer county, Kentucky, in 1832, and was a merchant in that section until he moved to Nevada, Missouri, where he was was engaged in merchandizing until his death in 1887. His wife was born in Mercer county, in the old stone house which was built on the site of the old frontier fort at McAfee station, which old house it still standing and is the oldest one in Kentucky. She was born in 1842, and is still living, residing in Louisville.
John S. Woods was fourteen years of age when the family moved to Missouri. He graduated from the High School of Nevada, Missouri, and also attended the State University at Columbia, Missouri. Upon the completion of his education, Mr. Woods returned to Kentucky in 1890, locating in Louisville. For a number of years he had charge of the office of the Belknap Hardware Company, and for the next five years, after leaving the Belknap Company, he was an expert accountant in Louisville, Chicago and New York city. In January, 1908, he organized the Franklin Bank of Louisville and was elected president of the bank at its organization, which position he still retains. He is treasurer of the Kentucky Association of Accountants; a member of the Louisville Commercial Club, and a member of Admiral Jouett Section, Navy League of the United States. He takes an active interest in the Second Broadway Presbyterian church, of which he is an honored member.
Mr. Woods is just in the first prime of his life. The first chapter of an eventful, prosperous and honorable business career has been written, but it is not difficult to imagine what his future history will be, for his salient characteristics are well known. He possesses the enterprising and indomitable spirit of the pro- gressire man and the man of affairs, combined with good judgment and foresight, and, moreover, his business principles and conduct will bear the closest investigation. His success has been of pronounced type and he is known as one of the representative young business men of the estate, in whose future and greater precedence he has the utmost confidence, while a more loyal and enthusiastic citizen of the commonwealth cannot be found.

234. Leestown (Franklin Co., KY).
"Glenn Willis: In 1774, Willis Lee accompanied his cousin Hancock Taylor, his brother, Hancock Lee and a party of surveyors including James Douglass, Isaac Hite, and John Floyd. Just a few days before his death, Hancock Taylor left part of the land he had surveyed to his cousin, Hancock Lee. In 1783, Hancock Lee gave his nephew, Willis Atwell Lee, an acre of ground on at Leestown on the banks of the Kentucky River. Willis built a two story, log home, which was his residence for over thirty years. Lee became prominent in Franklin County, serving as Court Court Clerk. About 1815, Willis Lee replaced his original log house with a one and a half story brick home he called Glen Willis. Lee lived in this residence until his death in 1824. Then in 1832 the house passed to HUMPHREY MARSHALL, who resided there until his death in 1841. A few years after the death of Marshall, William Harrison Murray bought Glen Willis. He remodeled the house and added a third floor. At William's death the house passed to his son, James A. Murray. For many years Glen Willis remained in ruin. Today the house has been completely restored, as much as possible to its original design."

James Harper's father, George Harper, was one of the pioneers of Fayette County, Ky., participating in many of the terrible contests of that country, well called the "dark and bloody ground." He was also in the Revolutionary war; on account of that he received a grant of land in Indiana, from the United States Government. After building a fort on it to protect his family from the Indians, he settled there and commenced to farm, stationing always one of his children with'a horn on top of the tower in the fort so as to be ready to give the alarm if the Indians should be near. Our subject went to school in country log schoolhouses. He came to Palestine in 1830, where he learned the blacksmith trade, which he followed for thirty-six years, when he commenced to farm. He was married, November 16, 1837, to Miss Abigail Everingham, born November 19, 1820, in Ohio. Her father was a millwright; her parents Enoch, and Triphena (Kitchell) Everingham, came from the East.

Present
Miss Edmunds
What I endeavored to say on yesterday, I must try this morning to communicate in writing. I love you sincerely & fervently, and could I have an assurance from you that I am the chosen of your heart & judgement, I could live and die for you. My suspense is unpleasant and will it not be cruel to hold me much longer in doubt, when a word, yea a look, can do it? Do I have any interest in your heart and may I hope to possess yr hand? Are your affections, or yr head, or both unsatisfied? As a Christian, a minister of our Savior, and your lover I seek an answer. This note returned as it is, will be taken as a negation.
Geo. G. McAfee
Thursday morg [?]

N.B. If you wish information from one long acquainted with me & my family, I refer you to the Revd. Thos. Cleland D. D. - Harrodsburg, Ky - who was my pastor & in whose family I have been intimate since childhood.

Greenville, Kentucky
My dear Martha
I wrote on Saturday last -- Since that I have determined to come by Louisville, Hardinsbury, and Hartford. From all that I can learn, it is the nearest short route.
It has been raining ever since Monday. It is now cold and cloudy. The roads are so bad, + all the circumstances such, that, as anxious as I am to get home, I have concluded to put off starting until Saturday evening. I think I can get home by next Thursday night. It is only 140 miles. Rain and roads may however detain me. You have some experience on this subject.
I will endeavor to get you a shield in Louisville. None is to be had in this place.
All are well.
Some in this place are very much disposed to give me a call to this church.
My dear Martha is the all absorbing subject of my thoughts. I do hope + pray that she is well, and happy, still I am afraid that [?] chills + fever may have her prostrate on her bed.
I write in haste -- with great love + affection I am yours

CHARLES ALEXANDER LILLARD was born October 4, 1838, on the place where he now resides, on the Louisville Turnpike, four miles north of Harrodsburg, Ky., where he grew up manhood [sic], and has always lived. His father, John Lee LILLARD, also a native of Mercer County, was born May 9, 1797, and died August 21, 1842. He was the son of Joseph Lillad, who was born in Culpeper County, Va., in 1768; removed with his parents to Mercer County, Ky., as early as 1786; was among the first to receive license as a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church in Kentucky; joined the western conference in 16790, and traveled two years; preached the first Methodist sermon, and organized the first class in Illinois in 1793. He contributed largely for the erection of "Joseph's Chapel," and a similar church at Salvisa, which later he dedicated. In 1852 he started on a journey to Missouri, and was never afterward heard of by his friends. He was the son of Capt. John LILLARD, a native of Culpeper County, Va., who died in 1801, and who was sthe son of Benjamin LILLARD, who immigrated from England or Wales, to Virginia, as early as 1730, and died at the age of one hundred and twenty years. The family was well represented in the Revolutionary war. Benjamin's children were Thomas, James, William, Moses, Benjamin and John. John married a Miss Pulliam, and their offspring were Thomas, Ephraim, Joseph, John, David, James, Susan (Jones), and Mrs. Childs. Joseph married a Miss Hughes, and from their union sprang John Lee, Rev. Asbury, Joseph (unmarried), Samuel (unmarried), Nancy (Rynerson), Sarah (Moore), Jemima (Smith), and Prudence (Armstrong). John Lee LILLARD married Nancy Armstrong, and to them were born Joseph R., Mary (deceased), Elizabeth (McAfee), James (deceased), Charles A., and John L. Charles A. has remained unmarried. He obtained a common English education at the schools in the vicinity where he was reared, and by careful reading has become familiar with the history of the important events of the past. He is engaged in farming, and is possessor of 100 acres of good land. In politics Mr. Lillard is a Republican.

JAMES HARRISON MOORE, M.D. The original ancestor of the numerous and influential Southern family represented by the subject of this sketch, was Thomas Moore, who came from the vicinity of Liverpool and Bristol, England, at an early period and settled on the bank of the Nomonce River in Westmoreland County, Va., where he began as one of the pioneers of that section, living in peace and friendship with the native Indian tribes by whom he was surrounded. He left two sons, William and Thomas, to whom he devided his estate. Thomas died on his portion of the old farm, leaving two sons, Thomas and James, who disposed of the property and moved to North Carolina, where they are now numerously represented by descendants. William Moore, son of the pioneer, married Sarah Lawson, and passed his life on his patrimonial estate. He also left two sons, Elijah and Vincent. The latter married and raised a family of children in Northumberland County, Va., where he died. Elijah, at the age of nineteen, married Judith Harrison, of Northumberland County, Va., and had three sons: Lawson, George and William. Shortly after the birth of of his last son the father was killed by lightning at the early age of twenty-six years. He was a large, powerful man, of great perseverance and energy, and his sudden death was deeply regretted. His wife survived him eighteen months, leaving the three sons mentioned, who were placed under the guardianship of Christopher Collins, a merchant in Westmoreland County, who proved an efficient and trustworthy protector and guide, and whose noble traits of character were ever cherished by his wards. Lawson Moore, the eldest of the sons, married in 1704, Elizabeth Rochester, a representative of an old and prominent Virginia family, and four years later, 1798, moved with his family to Kentucky. He purchased a large tract of land near Danville, Boyle Co., Ky., and there passed his life engaged in farming pursuits. July 26, 1815, death deprived him of his wife, and January 22, 1817, he married her sister, Jane Murray Rochester, whom he survived some years. Lawson Moore was upward of six feet in height, large frame and commanding presence, a man of strong native intellect, well versed in history and abreast with the spirit of the age. Having a large family of sons and daughters, he fully appreciated the benefits of education and was one of the active workers in the aid of erecting Centre College. He had a large family of children. By his first marriage were born Sally, who married Elijah Harlan; Betsy Lawson, who married Gen. William Moore, of Tennessee; Elijah, a lawyer by profession, residing at Little Rock, Ark., for a number of years and ending his career as a banker and general investor at St. Louis; John Rochester, a physician prominent in his profession, who practices successively at Danville, Ky., New Orleans, La., Louisville, Ky., and died at Bowling Green, Ky.; Nancy Jordan, who married Archibald Yell, afterward governor of Arkansas, who fell at Buena Vista during the Mexican war, with McKee, Hardin and the son of Henry Clay; George, a clergyman of the Presbyterian Church, who died in Mississippi, engaged in cotton planting; Jane, who married Rev. Robert McAfee, of the Presbyterian Church, and died at Columbus, Mo.; William, who was educated at West Point, settled in Texas where he was active in the war of independence and died at Moore's Bluff, on Trinity River; Lawson, who engaged in planting in Mississippi; Sophia, who married James F. McCaleb, a large cotton planter of Adams County, Miss., and died there, and Artemisia, who became the wife of Rev. John L. Sloan, of Tennessee. By his second marriage Lawson Moore had five sons, of whom Joseph Lapsley died during boyhood. Christopher Collins Moore was educated at Centre College, Danville, was a successful merchant at Harrodsburg for many years, and finally located on a farm near Danville, where he led a successful career and closed his days; he was for many years president of the First national Bank of Harrodsburg. Thomas Rochester Moore was born and educated at Danville and engaged in farming in Mercer County, owning the old Capt. Chaplin farm. Charles O. Moore was educated at Centre College, studied law and devoted his life to farming on the old ancestral estate near Danville; his widow and two sons now occupy the place. James Harrison Moore, second son of Lawson Moore by his later marriage, was born on the old farm near Danville, October 3, 1819. Here he passed his boyhood, receiving an excellent English education and subsequently entering Centre College, where he enjoyed the benefits of a classical course. He subsequently commenced the study of medicine under Drs. Joseph Weisiger and John Fleece of Danville, and matriculated at Transylvania Medical College, Lexington, from which institution he was graduated with the degree of M.D. in 1841. He located in Warren County, Miss., soon after, where he successfully practiced his profession for five years. There he met and married Mrs. Mary S. Foster, daughter of Daniel T. Messinger, of Berkshire County, Mass., and soon afterward returned to his native county. He first located at Harrodsburg, where he practiced for awhile and then joined his brother, Collins Moore, in trade, as Moore & Moore. Several years later (1851) he purchased the Maj. William Hoard farm, a portion of the old Capt. Chaplin farm near Harrodsburg, and entered upon the life of a farmer and breeder of thoroughbred Durham cattle, and horses. This is his present residence. In addition to this he also owns a large plantation on Deer Creek, Miss., where he is extensively engaged in Cotton raising. Dr. Moore has been closely identified with the business and social life of his section for many years and is recognized as a useful and thoroughly trustworthy citizen. He was one of the organizers of the Mercer County National Bank of Harrodsburg, and is president of that institution. He is also an elder in the Southern Presbyterian Church of Harrodsburg, and interested in other local enterprises. In 1856 he passed from the Whig to the Democratic party with which he is at present identified. Though opposed to the secession of the States, the ties of interest and kinship which bound him to the South caused him to sympathize with that section during the civil war. His two sons are Hon. Daniel L. Moore, late State senator from the capital district of Kentucky, and Bacon Rochester Moore, a lawyer by profession, engaged in planting in the South.

JAMES SIMPSON, judge of the court of appeals of Kentucky, and one of the most distinguished jurists that the state has produced, was born March 16, 1796, in Belfast, Ireland, and died on the 1st of May, 1876, in Winchester, Kentucky. His father, James Simpson Sr., a man of classical education and broad mental culture, became a minister of the Presbyterian church and was also an educator of note. On account of political complication he was obliged to flee from Ireland, and embarked for America with his wife and family when the future chief justice was but eighteen months old. As he stood on the deck of the vessel which was to bear him to freedom and future prosperity, the last sight which met his gaze was his old home in flames, enkindled by the hands of his enemies! The vessel on which he embarked bore him in safety to the shores of the new world, and he took up his residence in Pittsburg [sic], Pennsylvania, where he remained for about ten years. During that time his wife died. With his children he removed to Clark county, Kentucky, and from that time on Judge Simpson was a resident of this state. James Simpson attended the common schools, but the greater part of his education was acquired under the direction of his father, who was well fitted to train the young mind and shape its habits of thought. The son was of a very studious disposition, and his eager desire for knowledge, supplemented by a retentive memory, enabled him to acquire a fund of information far in advance of many who had much superior school privileges. He read the Latin classics in the original and was well informed on all subjects now usually embraced in the high school course. He was ambitious, and with one object in view pursued his course from the earliest days of his intellectual development to fit himself for the practice of law. On the 18th of February, 1817, before attaining his majority, he applied to the county court for a certificate showing him to be "a person of honesty, probity and good demeanor," which was granted him, and immediately after reaching the legal age, at the first term of the circuit court, he procured a license to practice law. He had read and studied under the masterful guidance of Hon. Samuel Hanson, and his preparation for the bar was so thorough and complete that at the first term of court, after he joined the legal fraternity, he appeared as attorney in a number of cases. For ten years he was associated in practice with Hon. Chilton Allen, and almost from the beginning of his professional career he had an extensive clientage. He was a man evidently marked out for greatness, and his career was one unbroken series of splendid successes. His fitness for political honors and his ability to meet the weighty questions which affect the welfare of the commonwealth led to his being elected twice to the general assembly of the commonwealth, where he was one of the leading members on the floor of the house. In 1860, on account of the gravity of the political situation growing out of the secession movement, he was elected to the state senate. He served one term in that body during those exciting days, and it was largely through his instrumentality that the state remained in the Union, and he cast her influence with that side. Except as a representative in the lower house and in the senate of Kentucky, he held no political office. In 1835 he was appointed judge of the circuit court to succeed the Hon. Richard French, occupying the circuit court bench until 1847. His course was such as to add honor and dignity to the office with which he was honored, and he won the confidence of the bar and the public by his upright and unflinching administration of justice and the wisdom of his decisions. The masterful ability of Judge Simpson insured him still further honors, and in 1847 he received an appointment to the highest judicial body of the state, being made associate justice of the court of appeals. He served thus until the adoption of the new state constitution in 1850 and thereafter was one of the four justices of the new court and filled the exalted position of chief justice of the court for two years. In 1852 he was elected to the supreme bench for another term of eight years, during which time he again served for two years as chief justice. On the expiration of his term in 1860 he declined to enter on a political contest for re-election, being conscientiously opposed to making judicial office a football of party prejudice or favor. Devotedly attached to his profession, systematic and methodical in habit, sober and discreet in judgment, calm in temper, diligent in research, conscientious in the discharge of every duty, courteous and kind in demeanor and inflexibly just on all occasions, the qualities enabled Judge Simpson to take first rank among those who have held the highest judicial office in the state, and made him the conservator of that justice wherein is the safeguard of individual liberty and happiness and the defense of our national institution. His reported opinions are monuments to his profound legal learning and superior ability, more lasting than brass or marble and more honorable than battles fought and won. They show a thorough mastery of the questions involved, a rare simplicity of style and an admirable terseness and clearness in the statement of the principles upon which the opinions rest. He fully comprehended and carried into practice Justinian's noble summary of the law's precepts: "Juris precepta sunt haec: honeste rivere, alternum non cadere suum emque tribuere." No judge of the court of appeals has evinced a clearer knowledge, a livelier conscience, a more industrious application than Judge Simpson. On the 22d of November, 1840, the Judge united with the Presbyterian church, and in 1836 became an elder in the same. He exemplified in his life that Christian spirit which ennobles those who truly follow in the footsteps of the lowly Nazarene, and endears them to their fellow men. His sage counsel, noble example and devotion to the best interests of the church make him a pillar of strength in upholding all that is best in life, and he breathed his last with a smile of infinite peace and content stamped upon his face, saying, "The door is open; I must go in." In early life Judge Simpson gave his political support to the Whig party, and on it dissolution became a Democrat, while during the war he was a conservative Unionist, but after the war was identified with the Democratic party until his death. He, however, took but little part in politics, aside from voting and lending his influence to the measures best calculated to enhance the best interests of his city, county and state. On the 22d of February, 1825, Judge Simpson was united in marriage to Miss Mary L. Caldwell, a daughter of Robert and Fanny (Irvine) Caldwell. The latter was a daughter of Colonel Christopher Irvine, of Richmond, Kentucky, and his wife was a daughter of Colonel Richard Calloway, and one of the three girls who were in the fort at Boonesboro with Daniel Boone in the early days of Kentucky's history. They were captured by the Indians, but after three days were recaptured. Robert Caldwell was an own cousin of John Caldwell Calhoun, the distinguished South Carolina statesman. Judge Simpson died at his home in Winchester, Kentucky, on the 1st day of May, 1876, in the eighty-first year of his age. At his death Judge Simpson left two sons and three daughters, the latter being Fanny I., who married Samuel F. Taylor and is now Mrs. Bottaile; Mary H., wife of James T. Thornton, of Kansas City, Missouri; and Carrie, wife of John A. Mills, of Winchester. The sons are Isaac P., a lawyer of San Antonio, Texas; and James D., a member of the Clark county bar, cashier of the Citizens' National Bank and president of the Safety Building and Loan Association of Winchester. For a number of years he was engaged in active practice, but for the past twenty years has devoted his attention to other business pursuits. On the death of Judge Simpson many resolutions were passed, indicating the high respect and honor in which he was
held throughout the state, and
the sincere grief that was felt at his demise. The court of appeals assembled in Frankfort, May 4, 1876, to take action thereon, and the
resolutions which they passed included the following: "Resolved, That in the death of Judge Simpson the profession of which he was
an ornament has lost one who was an upright judge, an able jurist and a zealous advocate. Society has been deprived of one of its
purest members and his family of a devoted and exemplary head." At the meeting of the bar of Winchester, over which presided General
John B. Huston, the following resolutions were passed: "Resolved, That as a member of the legal profession he illustrated in his long,
successful career the noblest qualities in rarest combination; always true to his trusts, and competent to his task, kind and courteous to
his associates, ever ready to help those beneath him
on the ladder, and to give to them freely of his great abundance. "That in his long and distinguished services, whether as judge of the
circuit court, or the court of appeals, he justly earned for himself an honorable and enduring fame secured to none in the annals of the
commonwealth. "That in him we recognize not only the accomplished jurist but also the citizen without reproach, whose private life has
been blameless, and who public career has added another star to the constellation of our
country's honored names. "That as younger members of the profession we pay a cordial tribute to his memory for many acts of
personal kindness and words of friendly counsel. We accept the model which his life and character offer to us
in all their harmonious and just proportions, and along the pathway of professional duty will turn to it and gather fresh encouragement
and inspiration."

William and Evelyn Edelen were Peter's 3rd-great grandparents. Also sent excerpts from the "History of Cass County, Missouri" with additional Edelen information. "William B. Edelen was engaged in the drug business in early life at Danville, Boyle County, Kentucky, and later removed to Jessamine County. This was about 1866 and he was engaged in farming and stock raising about nine miles from Nicholaville, until he came to Missouri with his family in 1872, reaching Cass County, January 22. They came by boat as far as Cairo, Illinois, making the trip on the "Robert Mitchell" and "Dove." From Cairo they made the trip to Pleasant Hill by rail. In 1874 the father bought a farm in Mt. Pleasant Township, where was was successfully engaged in farming and stock raising until his death, March 24, 1898."
