Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 5th ed., 1887,
Woodford Co.

DR. G. W. McLEOD, the subject of this sketch, was born August 23, 1834,
near Paris, Bourbon Co., Ky.; he is the youngest child of George and
Catherine (Miller) McLeod, the former born in Fredericksburg, Va., the
latter in Maryland.  He was educated in the district school of Bourbon
County and at the Hutchinson Academy, and resided with his parents on their
farm until 1858, when he began the study of medicine with Dr. Matheny, now
of Louisville, Ky., graduating in 1860 in the medical department of the
University of Louisville.  On March 27, 1862, he married Fanny Shuff, of
Fulton County, daughter of Dr. Parker and Agnes (Griffith) Shuff; he then
located in Cynthiana, where he followed his profession until the fall of
1866.  In 1870 he entered Bellevue Medical College, New York, where he
took an ad eundem degree, and also took a special course under Prof. Flint,
in the treatment of lung and heart diseases.  In 1873, in company with his
wife, he visited Europe, and spent six months or more in the hospitals
of London and Paris.  In 1875 he located in Versailles, Woodford County.,
Ky., but was subsequently called to Arkansas upon the death of his brother,
Bernard, to settle his estate, where he remained for four years, and
engaged in the cotton planting and merchandising.  On his return to
Kentucky he bought the celebrated Hartland farm in the vicinity of
Versailles, where he has since resided.  In 1885 he took a half partnership
in the Falls City Tobacco Warehouse, Louisville, Ky., where he passes the
larger portion of his time.  He has no children; the Doctor, however, has
an adopted daughter, Fanny Bryant, of Arkansas, whom he has educated at the
Ursuline Convent, Ohio, and Hollins Institute, Virginia; she is an
accomplished artist in oil painting and crayon drawing. The Doctor is of a
generous disposition and has ample fortune to sustain it.  He is a member
of the Presbyterian Church but of liberal views on the subject of religion.
