HON. CHARLES OFFUTT, lawyer; P. O. Paris; was born Oct. 6, 1856, in Scott
County, this State; eldest son of C. L. Offutt and Agnes Jarvis.  The
subject of these lines was raised to agricultural pursuits, but his tastes
not leading in that direction, he received a good education, graduating
at Georgetown College in 1876, with the degree of bachelor of Arts.  The
year previous to his graduation he began the study of law, graduating in
1877, and immediately began the practice of his profession, locating in
Paris.  March 26, 1881, he received the nomination as representative of
Bourbon County, and was elected August, the same year, and is the
youngest man ever elected to the office in the county.  He has a good
practice, and has before him a bright and promising future.  He is a
member of the A.F. & A.M., Paris, Lodge, R. A. Chapter, and Webb
Commandery, of Lexington, Ky.  C. L. Offutt, the father of our subject,
was born in Harrison County, this State, in 1830; son of N. E. Offutt
and Rebecca Sutfin; the former was born in Maryland Nov. 9, 1803; son
of Archibald and Jane Offutt, both natives of Maryland.  The Offutt
family are of Welch descent, and came to the United States about the
middle of the eighteenth century.  Agnes Jarvis was born in Scott County;
daughter of Lewis Jarvis, who commanded a company in the war of 1812; his
wife was Alissa Baldwin, both natives of Kentucky.  The grandmother of
our subject, Rebecca Sutfin, was a daughter of Lou and Sallie (Hamilton)
Sutfin, natives of Kentucky.  Archibald Offutt came to Scott County, Ky.
with his family, in 1812; there were nine children, all of whom came to
the years of maturity; their names were: Nathaniel E., Sabert, Lewis,
Lemuel, Jane, Clarissa, Louisa A., Polly and Mrs. Thompson.  To Nathaniel
Offutt and wife were born ten children; five of the number came to
manhood and womanhood; viz: Richard H., William, C. L., Albert M. and
Lou Ann.  C. L., the father of our subject, was raised to farming, and has
since been engaged in agricultural pursuits in Scott County, where he now
resides; in 1854, he was married, and buried his wife in 1870, who bore
him four children, viz: Charles, John L., Willie, now the wife of John
Wilmot, of Clark County, this State; Albert L. is the youngest child.
