Carroll Co.

DR. JAMES V. CONN, a native of Bourbon County, Ky., was born August 11,
1810, the son of John M. and Mary (Keene) Conn, natives of Virginia, and
of English extraction.  He graduated from the medical department of
Transylvania University in March, 1834, and settled in the practice of
medicine and surgery in Burlington, Boone Co., Ky.  He successfully and
profitably pursued his profession for twelve years, resigning the
practice of medicine in April, 1840, and moving to Carrollton, where he
now resides, and has ever since been engaged extensively in banking and
speculating in real estate.  He was requested by many business men of
the town to use his influence in having a bank located at this point,
which he promptly managed (with the assistance of others) to have done,
by getting a branch of the Southern Bank of Kentucky organized and placed
in successful operation, he being appointed president of the institution
by the board of directors in 1852.  The bank was managed with skill and
profit to the stockholders, as was shown by winding up its affairs at the
close of the war.  He also assisted in organizing the First National Bank
of Carrollton, in 1881, and became its vice-president, resigning these
positions in each instance for the purpose of pursuing his private
business.  On the 15th of May, 1839, he married Mary E. Garnett, a
member of an old and prominent family of Boone County, and now the mother
of five children living: Henry L. (who served with the Confederates in
the recent war, located in St. Louis, Mo., and now traveling in Europe
with his family), Mary E., Nora B., Fannie C. and Susie G.  The
daughters are all happily married and settled near him.  The Doctor is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
