R.F. THRELKELD is a son of B.L. and Sarah (Anderson) Threlkeld, natives 
of Virginia and New York, respectively.  The father came from his native
State in an early day, and settled in Brandenburgh [sic] County, Ky.  He
moved to Livingston County about 1832, and opened the farm on which
subject is now living.  He was a farmer and mechanic, and died in 1880
at the age of seventy-three years.  Subject's mother was a daughter of 
James Anderson, a native of New York.  She died in 1875 at the age of
about fifty-four years.  Mr. and Mrs. Threlkeld were the parents of
twelve children, eight of whom are living - Adaline, Willis, Mary, James,
William, Norah, Arminta and R.F.  The subject of this sketch was born 
March 8, 1853, in Livingston County.  He remained with his parents until
their death, and commenced life for himself as a farmer, at the age of
nineteen years.  After his parent's death he took possession of the
home place, which he now owns.  The farm consists of over 200 acres of
choice land, the greater part of which is in a high state of cultivation.
December 20, 1871, Mr. Threlkeld was married to Serene Owen, daughter of
Webb and Mary Owen, of Livingston County.  Six children have been born
to this union - infant (deceased), Webb, Ollie, Richard, Lucy and Carrie.
