His father, James D. Allphin, a native of Boone County, Ky., was born in

our subject now resides, and where he lived until his death, which
occurred in 1886. He enlisted in the Confederate Army in George Terrell's
company, Fifth Kentucky Cavalry, under command of Col. D. H. Smith, Gen.
Buford's division, but after the battle of Stone River he was transferred
to Gen. Morgan's command, was captured at Buffington Island, imprisoned
at Camp Douglas, Chicago, and discharged in January, 1865; he took part
in the battle of Murfreesboro and others. He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity, and a Knight Templar; he married Elizabeth Roberts, a native
