HISTORY OF FAYETTE COUNTY, KENTUCKY, by Robert Peter, ed. by
William H. Perrin, O. L. Baskin Co., Chicago, 1882.  Reprinted by Southern
Historical Press, Easley, SC, 1979.

THOMAS P. EMBRY, farmer and stockraiser, P. O. Walnut Hill.  The subject 
of this sketch is of Virginia stock, and is a son of Joel Embry, who was 
among the early settlers of Madison County.  With a brother, he 
penetrated into the wilds of that region and cleared up a farm, upon 
which he died at a ripe old age.  He represented the county one term in 
the legislature, and was highly respected as an honorable man and a 
worthy citizen.  He left a family of seven children, among whom was 
Thomas P., the subject.  He was brought up on a farm, and has followed 
farming ever since as a business.  In 1876, he was married to Miss Mary 
Reed, daughter of William L. and Josephine (Hogan) Reed.  The Hogans were 
from Garrard County, and the Reeds were natives of Fayette, but afterward 
moved to Mercer County.  Mr. Embry has one son, William R.  His property, 
known as the "old Grimes farm," consists of 300 acres of excellent land.
