JAMES H. GUFFY, farmer, Butler County, was born December 26, 1828, in 
Logan County, Ky.  He received a common English education, and engaged 
in farming, in which he has been eminently successful, as he is now one 
of the most prosperous farmers in Butler, to which county he removed in 
1852, and purchased the home farm in 1859, on which he now resides, and 
which consists of 199 acres of fertile land on the Morgantown and 
Russellville high road, three and a half miles south of the former town.  
November 14, 1854, he married Adeline, the sixth daughter and eighth 
child of Benjamin Moore.  This union has been blessed with five children: 
Alpharetah, Arazell, Theophrastus, Chastine and James Hunter.  Mr. 
Guffy's father was James Guffy, born in Pennsylvania in 1785, and came 
with Alexander Guffy, the grandfather, to Logan County, Ky., 1790, and 
helped to clear the wilderness; his neighborhood extended from 
Russellville to Morgantown.  He died in 1862.  His wife, Malinda, was a 
native of Virginia, and died in 1857.  The members of the family living 
are Mrs. Nourse, residing in Butler County; Rev. C. F. Guffy, a 
Methodist Episcopal clergyman, residing near his brother James H. in 
Butler County; Mrs. Simmonds, of Muhlenburgh [sic] County; Mrs. Lucas, 
of the same county; James H., our subject, and the Hon. B. L. D. Guffy, 
the present judge of Butler County.
