Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., 1887, Owen Co. MOSES STONESTREET was born in Owen County, Ky., August 23, 1826, and is a son of John and Elizabeth (Hardister) Stonestreet, the former a native of North Carolina. Elizabeth (Hardister) Stonestreet, was born in Fayette County, near Lexington, December 24, 1796, and was a daughter of Harry Hardister, a wealthy farmer and distiller of Fayette County. Moses Stonestreet was educated in the common schools of Owen County, has followed farming all his life, and now owns a fine farm of 200 acres, which he values $20 per acre. In 1857 he married Miss Sallie A. Schooler, daughter of Henry and Susan (Bettis) Schooler, the former a farmer in Owen County. Henry Schooler was a Virginian by birth, but immigrated to Kentucky at an early day, and settled in Clark County. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Stonestreet: Polly, Elizabeth, Lucy Jane (who died November 1886), Fannie, Minnie and John H. One incident concerning Lucy is worth relating: She was lost in the hills of Severn Creek from 4 o'clock p.m. until 6 o'clock next morning. There were twenty or more neighbors who were on the search of her, and when found the first words she spoke were "mother, why did you not give me a drink of water?" She was three years old the very day she was lost. Mr. and Mrs. Stonestreet are members of the Baptist Church. In politics Mr. Stonestreet is a Republican.
