R.T. ALBRITTON was born April 11, 1844, in Graves County.  He is a son of
John and Martha (Conaway) Albritton.  The father was born in North 
Carolina; he died in 1850, aged twenty-six.  The mother was born in
Virginia, and now resides in Mayfield.  In 1861 R.T. entered Company C,
Eighth Kentucky Infantry, Confederate Army, received a commission as
second lieutenant, and later was promoted to the rank of captain, which
position he held to the end of the war.  He participated in the battle
of Fort Donelson, where he was taken prisoner and confined seven months,
after which he was exchanged and returned to his regiment; he then took
part in the last siege of Vicksburg, Jackson, Guntown and Harrisburg.
While with Hood on his raid to Nashville, he was captured at Selma, Ala.,
and paroled at Columbus, Miss.  At the close of the war he returned to 
Mayfield.  In 1867 he was appointed deputy sheriff, which position he 
held until he was duly elected sheriff in 1870, which office he held for 
two terms.  After retiring from this office he engaged in the 
manufacturing business, being identified with the woolen-mill and the
flour-mill; he has also been in the commission business, handling
tobacco.  In the autumn of 1883 the Kentucky State Guards were organized,
and he was chosen captain, which position he still holds.  Mr. Albritton
was married in October, 1870, to Miss Anna, daughter of Ervin Anderson,
who was the first white male child born in Graves County.  This union
is blessed with six children, four sons and two daughters.  Mr.
Albritton is a member of the Christian Church, and Mrs. Albritton is a
member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
