MARY J. BATTERTON, farming, P. O. Paris, is a representative of one of
the old families of Bourbon County.  She was born March 1, 1823, and is
the daughter of Alfred and Elizabeth (Chowning) George, and the
granddaughter of Gabriel George.  In 1849 she was married to Benjamin A.
Batterton, who died in 1863.  Three children were born to them: Elizabeth,
now wife of T. J. Shepherd, formerly of Georgetown, Ky, but now a
resident of Chattanooga, Tenn.; B. Alfred and Mary S., both unmarried and
residing with their mother.  The daughters are members of the Christian
Church, and the sons' political views are Democratic.  Mr. Batterton has
resided on her present farm since 1849, which consists of 140 acres of
fine land, which by her judicious management and the aid of her son,
has been and is a comfortable, pleasant and well kept home, as well as a
valuable piece of property.
