early age he removed with his parents to Sullivan County, and after six
years' residence there he removed to Barren County, Ky., and in 1856 to
Monroe County where he now resides.  Minor Hope, his father, was born
about 1807, also in Greene County, Tenn.  He was a son of Isaac Hope,
who was a native of Scotland, having emigrated from that country in an
early day to North Carolina, and later to Tennessee where he died. Minor
Hope was twice married; first, about 1827, to Rebecca, daughter of
William and Bethia (Hutchinson) Millborn, also of Green County, Tenn. To
their union were born Bethia J. (Hamilton), John G. and Catherine A.

(Vance), Mary (Park), Ellison, Evaline (Waller), Eisophena, William,

County. She was born December 26, 1837.  To them have been born Martha
L. (deceased), Elizabth J., James M., Asbury W., Rebecca D., John J.,
