DAVID L. SUBLETT was born in Virginia June 22, 1837, and is the fourth son

David L. Sublett was educated at the Episcopal high school, Alexandria,
Va., and at the Virginia Military Institute.  In 1859 he went to Texas and
taught the male academy at Waco about six months, and the same year entered
the State military service and became captain of cavalry until the breaking
out of the war.  In 1861 he entered the Confederate Army in the Fourth
Texas Regiment as lieutenant, and went to Virginia.  In 1862 he was

mining engineer up to August, 1871.  June 13, 1871, he married Mattie F.
Owen, of Prince Edward County, Va., daughter of Dr. Thomas J. and Louisa
(Rudd) Owen, but no children have blessed their union.  He came to
Kentucky in 1872 as engineer on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad and located
at Mount Sterling, but remained only six months.  He then moved to
Louisville and remained four years, following his profession; then moved
to Ohio County, as superintendent and engineer of mines, remaining there
two years; then went back to Louisville.  March 5, 1878, he went to
Chattanooga, Tenn., and had charge of Government service on the Chataboota
