JESSE HOLBROOK, a native of Owen County, Ky., was born November 7, 1828,
and is a son of John and Lucinda (Roach) Holbrook, who were born,
respectively, in North Carolina and Virginia.  John Holbrook was born
March 10, 1800, for many years was a merchant at Lusby's Mills, and died
in June, 1871.  Jesse Holbrook was reared on the farm adjacent to Lusby's
Mills, received a fair education, and for a while taught school, and was
also engaged in farming.  In January, 1852, he married Miss Rebecca,
daughter of G. and Sarah (Howard) Taylor, who descended from an old
Virginia family that settled in Owen County, Ky.  Seven children have
blessed this union.  From 1866 to 1870 Mr. Holbrook served as county judge,
besides having served as magistrate several years.  In 1883 the Farmers'
National Bank of Owenton was organized, with Mr. Holbrook as its president.
Its capital stock was $60,000; its present surplus is $12,000, and its
average deposits $45,000.  The present president of the bank is William
Lindsay, while Mr. Holbrook is its cashier.  Mr. Holbrook is the owner of
1,200 acres of good land, and is considered one of the best business men
of Owen County.  He is a member of the Baptist Church.
