JAMES SHOUSE, son of Henry Shouse, was born in Woodford County, Ky., in 
September, 1814.  His father was a native of the same county, and died 
there when James was small.  The family removed to Shelby County, and 
when seventeen years of age James went to learn the cooper's trade.  He 
worked at his trade thirteen years, and since then has been engaged in 
farming.  He came to Daviess County in 1848, and now owns a farm of 173 
acres, four and a half miles northwest of Knottsville.  In the spring of 
1840 Mr. Shouse married Maranda Pence.  Ten children were born to them, 
only seven now living--Sarah A., Malinda, William, Mollie, Emily, James 
L. and Catherine.  All are married except the two youngest.  James C. is 
carrying on the farm and is a subscriber to this work.  He is a very 
energetic and enterprising young man.  Mr. Shouse is a member of the 
Baptist church and is a Master Mason.
