MRS. LUCY (KEMPER) DORMAN, a native of Owen County, Ky., was born March
17, 1814.  Her father, Jonathan Kemper, native of Fayette County, Ky., was
born near Lexington, about the year 1789, and was a well-to-do farmer.  He
removed with his family to New Liberty, Owen County, where he spent the
greater part of his life, and died at Poplar Grove about 1872.  He married
Fannie Chowning, daughter of Robert Chowning, of Fayette County, who bore
him eight sons and two daughters, the subject of this sketch being the
third child.  Tilman Kemper, grandfather of our subject, a native of
Virginia, was one of the earliest settlers of Fayette County.  Robert
Chowning, maternal grandfather, was also a native of Virginia, and an early
settler of Kentucky.  Our subject was united in marriage to Peter Dorman,
a native of Somerset County, Md., who was born September 3, 1803, and
died January 3, 1873.  He represented Gallatin County in the Legislature
in 1853-54.  Five sons and six daughters were born to their union, viz:
James H., John W., Fannie (deceased), Liza, Martha L., Elizabeth, Emily,
Lucy, Henry F., Peter and Atta.  Mrs. Dorman was educated principally at
New Liberty, Owen County, although she obtained but a limited knowledge
of the English branches.  She is a member of the Oakland Baptist Church,
and owns a farm of 230 acres near Glencoe.
