History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 709. [Harrison County] [Rutland Precinct] THOMAS S. FAULCONER, farmer, P. O. Hinton, Scott Co.; was born in Harrison County, Jan. 31, 1882. His grandfather, Reuben Faulconer, came from Culpepper [sic] County, Va., in 1810, and settled on Raven Creek. His life was devoted to teaching; he was noted for his piety. When a small boy he was bitten by a mad dog, and in his declining years was subject to spasms, which probably caused his death in June 1845, at the advanced age of fourscore. Edmund Faulconer, father of our subject, was born in Virginia in March 1798, and was consequently twelve years of age when he came to Kentucky. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Jonathan Hedge, who was a soldier of the war of 1812, and Mary Caplinger. He died Jan. 7, 1875. T. S. Faulconer received his education as a farmer from the excellent precepts of his father. He married Jane Faulconer, daughter of Jno. and Melissa (Faulconer) Jones, and relict of W. N. Faulconer, all of Harrison County. She had three children when she married the second time, viz: Jno. C., Annie M., and Nathaniel. T. S. Faulconer has six children: Sarah E., married to Jno. Matthews; James E., Susan E., married to Spencer Faulconer of Kenton County; Thomas G. and Lucy. Mr. Faulconer has been a member of the Mullin (Masonic) Lodge, at Rutland, since its organization; is a thorough Democrat and much devoted to the field sports. He has traveled from Canada to Georgia on account of his delicate health.
