History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 583. [Bourbon County] [Ruddel's Mills Precinct] CHARLES TALBOTT, farmer, P. O. RUddel's Mills; traces the genealogy of his family back to his grandfather, Henry Talbott, who was a native of Loudoun County, Va., but migrated to Bourbon County, Ky., as early as 1795; his wife was a Miss Barbara Whaley, also a native of Virginia. Prior to his removing to Bourbon County, he had purchased a tract of forest land, on which he located and began to improve; he had a family of five sons and three daughters, viz: Daniel, Reason, George, Harry, Charles, Mary, Nancy, and Catharine. Mr. Talbott died about 1819, and his wife some years later; he left a fine property, and a respected and enterprising family of children; of these children Harry, the father of our subject, secured the old homestead by the purchase of the other heirships; he was born Feb. 27, 1789, and was married in October, of 1828, to Miss Mary Frazer, who was the daughter of James Frazer and his wife, whose maiden name was Hendricks; they were of Harrison County, Ky., the Frazers formerly of Maryland, and of Scotch descent, and the Hendricks from South Carolina. Securing the old homestead, Harry Talbott lived but a few years to enjoy it. He died Oct. 2, 1840, leaving a family of five children to the care and guidance of their mother. They were named James H., Amanda F., Charles, Mary C. and Martha H., all of whom are still living but Mary C. Mrs. Talbott was born Jan. 22, 1802, and died Nov. 29, 1867. Charles, who was the youngest of the sons, born Sept. 12, 1834, remained with his mother; and as the other heirs married and moved away, he, like his father, purchased their interests until he eventually owned the farm, that was redeemed from the forest by his grandfather; he cared for his aged mother until her death, in partial payment for her tender care during his childhood; in August, 1876, he was elected Sheriff of Bourbon County, and re-elected to the same office. He has but recently returned to his farm. June 13, 1878, he was married to Miss Fanny Glenn, daughter of John M. Glenn, a prominent citizen of Bourbon County. Two children have been born to them: Mary, born June 1, 1879, and Anna Lee, born April 11, 1881. Mr. Talbott is a member of the order of A.F. and A.M., and is a gentleman, who, though having gone through two political campaigns, still maintained the honorable course of a gentleman, and now has the respect and confidence of the most prominent citizens of his native county.
