Beaver Creek.

MR. OLDHAM.
Beaver Creek rises about twelve miles southeast of Glasgow.  The main 
head is a large spring which furnished water to a family by the name of 
Oldham that lived on a high hill above the spring.  Mr. Oldham for many 
years in an early day ran a tannery on his farm which was fed from 
springs about the head of the creek.  He was among the first settlers of 
that portion of the county.  He raised a family that is still remembered 
by the old inhabitants of the county.  I don't know that I can name his 
children according to age, but the first one that I knew was William, 
who was a deputy assessor in Barren county under Walter Depp.  During 
the Civil War William enlisted in Co D, 13 Reg. Ky. Inf., and died in 
Louisville during the service.  He held a commission of 1st Lieut.  
Isham, another son, opened up a farm on the Creek below the head and 
lived on it a number of years and left and went to a place on a road 
leading from Tompkinsville through Randolph on to Horse cave, and went 
to selling goods and buying tobacco.  The post office of Randolph was 
moved to his place of business and kept by him.  A man by the name of 
Monroe had long before sold golds at that place though not in the same 
house.
	The youngest son, Joseph came in possession of the old homestead, 
but many years ago sold out and went to Warren County, Ky.  One daughter 
married Riley Nichols, a soldier of the Civil War. Another one married 
Lewis Glass. They are all the family I ever knew.  They were honorably 
[sic] people, and but few if any, are still living.
