JAMES T. TORIAN, Graves County, was born January 22, 1832, in Halifax
County, Va., and is a son of Andrew and Betty (Finch) Torian, both
parents being natives of the same State and county.  When a child his
parents came to Christian County, Ky., where they purchased a farm and
resided there until the autumn of 1865, when they moved to this
locality.  In 1858 James came to Graves county, with two brothers, and
purchased 220 acres of land, which they have since increased until they
now own between 500 and 600 acres.  In 1882 they built a saw and 
grist-mill, which they are now operating in connection with farming.  
The father died in 1883 at the age of ninety-three.  The mother is still
living.  James was married in 1875 to Miss Ellen Grant, who was born 
in east Tennessee and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mr. Torian is a member of the Christian Church.
