     THOMAS JEFFERSON ROBB, one of the highly respected and enterprising
young men of Graves county, Kentucky, was born April 19, 1868, in Union
county, this state.  He is a son of William A. and Martha D. (Wathen)
Robb, both of whom were born in Union county.  The paternal grandfather,
Thomas Jefferson Robb, was also born there, but came of Irish ancestry;
at one time he held the office of sheriff of his county.  The grandfather
on the maternal side was Thomas Wathen, born in Kentucky, a physician by
calling.
     William A. Robb was a farmer and made his home in Union county,
Kentucky.  In politics he was a Democrat, while his religious faith was
that of the Catholic church.  In 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate army
and remained until the close of the war.  His death occurred when he was
thirty-three years of age.  His wife survives, aged now about fifty-eight
years, and lives in Graves county.  To them were born three children,
namely; Thomas J., John W. and William A.
     Thomas J. Robb was reared and educated in Union county, and he has
spent his entire life farming and stock trading, with the exception of a
few years when he was in a mercantile business at Fancy Farm.  He now
owns a fine farm in excellent condition.  Like his father, he is a
Democrat and Catholic.
     On October 29, 1894, he was married in Graves county to Nannie B. 
Carrico, who was born in Graves county in September, 1870, and to this
union one child has come, Anna V., born June 11, 1896.  In their pleasant
home Mr. and Mrs. Robb are to be found always glad to welcome a guest and
extend to him the hospitalities of establishment.
