PEYTON S. HEAD, the second son of James M. Head, was born near LaGrange,
Oldham Co., Ky., in 1851.  His father, James M. Head, was born and reared
in Oldham County, a son of Zecrist Head, who came to Kentucky from Virginia
and lived and died in Oldham County.  Both were farmers, and James served
as magistrate, and married Margaret McMakin, daughter of Peyton McMakin,
of Nelson County, who was an extensive farmer, horse dealer and distiller,
and who was awarded several premiums on his fine stock; he owned at one
time 125 slaves.  Peyton S. Head was educated at the county schools at
LaGrange, and subsequently was in the employ of B. Wile, of LaGrange, in
a dry goods store.  Later he began dealing in real estate, which he has
since followed together with other business, such as shaving notes and
acting as assignee to parties failing in business, and was appointed by the
court as special commissioner to settle estates.  He is now a director and
vice-president of, and the largest stockholder in, Oldham Bank at LaGrange.
He was one of the originators of that bank.  He served as deputy sheriff
of Oldham County, during which time he was compelled to shoot a man in
self-defense while making an arrest.  He has also served as town treasurer,
and at this time is guardian to several children.  He owns about forty
acres of land, and also valuable town property, consisting of eight or
nine houses and lots in LaGrange.  Mr. Head is still unmarried.
