	On the west side of the creek [Boyds Creek] and opposite the lands 
of the Morrison estate, Capt. WILLIAM DAY owned a large territory.  He 
was a man well advanced in years when I first knew him.  He was tall and 
vigorous, had a aguline nose, a gray head and walked erect.  He owned 
several slaves and carried on farm work extensively.  His wife before 
marriage was Sophia Strange.  They raised a family of six girls and two 
boys.  The oldest girl, Frances, married Mat Lasley, a Methodist 
preacher.  He formerly lived at Hiseville, Barren County.  Aftrward at 
Greensburg and finally in Louisville.  Mary married Edmond Davis.  He 
lived down the Nashville Pike about one mile beyond Skeggs Creek bridge 
from Glasgow.  Virginia married Thomas Dickinson, Sr. of Glasgow.  
Caroline married Frederick Miller of Glasgow.  Louisa married Henry 
Burks of the Barrens.  Emily married a Harris of Louisville, Ky.  Robert 
lived to be an old man.  His last years were spent at the home of his 
brother-in-law, Henry Burks.  He was never married.  William, the 
youngest child, left Barren County in early manhood, and his whereabouts 
unknown to any of his people.  (Have since learned that William belonged 
to the Regular Army; that he belonged to a regiment that was in the 
Custer Massacre on the Little Big Horn; and the presumption is that he 
was killed in that battle.  His time had expired but was with the 
command according to my information.)
	The Captain Day homestead has long since past [sic] out of the 
hands of any of the family descendants.  The lands have been cut up and 
sold to different parties.  None of his children are living at this 
writing. Mary Davis was the last one to go.  She died in Glasgow a few 
years ago.  She had lost her eyesight and was quite feeble at death.  
The Day family were of the old Virginia stock, upright in all their 
dealings.  They belonged to the Methodist Church and held their 
membership at the Bethel Church, about 5 miles southwest of Glasgow, 
until Boyds Creek Church was built in 1845 when they moved their 
membership to Boyds Creek Church.
