BARTON WARREN SMITH, farmer; P. O. Carlisle; a namesake of the great
reformer, B. W. Stone, who, when he came to Bourbon County, resided in
the house in which our subject now lives.  Mr. Smith was born on Cane
Ridge, Feb. 7, 1818, to John B. and Sally (Hand) Smith; she a daughter
of Wm. Hand, who was one of the first settlers of Bourbon, on Hinkston,
and with Barton Stone one of first organizers of "Old Cane Ridge Church"
and an energetic and prominent man at an early date, he subsequently moved
to Indiana, where he died soon after.  John B. Smith, born in Virginia in
1792, was a son of Jacob and Hannah Smith, who moved to Cane Ridge in
1809, settling on the waters of Brush Creek; John B. was married in 1813,
and was blessed with three sons and three daughters, all of whom grew to
maturity; only B. W. and a sister, Mrs. John M. Prather, residing in
Clay County, Mo., have had children.  Mr. Smith learned the carpenters'
trade, at which he worked for 18 years.  He subsequently purchased
property at Jackstown, where he ran a grocery, and a blacksmith and wood
shop for eight years, when he sold out and purchased his present home,
in the year 1875.  He was married in 1845, Dec. 30, to Sarah St. Clair,
daughter of James and Lovina (Ruarch) St. Clair, of Fayette County.  The
result of this union was fourteen children: George, Nancy, Sarah, Thomas,
Rebecca, Walter, Martha, Matilda, Ellen, John and James, twins; Amanda,
and a pair of twins who died at birth; also the mother at the same time.
The above are children of James St. Clair.  Mr. Smith, by his marriage,
had ten children: John, Thomas, Geo. W., James T., Amanda L., Nancy,
Jane, Walter, Frank and Clay.  Two youngest died in infancy.  Clay and
John T> are also deceased.  Those living are all married; three sons and
one daughter reside in Bourbon County.  The eldest daughter, Mrs. H. C.
Parker, resides in Indianapolis; and Walter at Mt. Sterling.  Mr. Smith
in early life received but meager educational advantages, attending
the country schools less than six months, but by his studious and
industrious habits he has laid up a store of knowledge which makes him
one of the interesting and intelligent gentlemen of his neighborhood. He
added to the support of his mother who lived with him until her death, at
86 years; also supporting an aged sister, and taking upon himself the
support of the family after his father's death.  He started in life without
the advantages of fortune, by by diligence he has accumulated a
comfortable home, and homes for his children around him.
