THE UTTERBACK FAMILY.  Lewis Utterback, the ancestor of the family of that
name residing in Woodford County, was born January 10, 1766, and died in
1824.  He came from Virginia to Kentucky at an early period.  He was a man
of excellent education, and besides engaging in farming near Versailles,
for many years devoted much of his time to teaching, having established a
school for the instruction of youth on his farm.  He married, January 17,
1805, Frances Berry (born December 15, 1787, died February 28, 1859), and
had a large family of children, as follows: Betty Berry, born November 12,
1805, married Lewis Harper: William, born July 12, 1807, died March 7,
1886; Charles Allen, born February 6, 1809, died March 19, 1877; Polly
Allen, born November 14, 1810, married Claigett Stout, died January 14,
1885; Julian, born October 14, 1812, died December 15, 1816; Lewis Preston,
born September 30, 1814, died January 23, 1816; John Benjamin, born
September 22, 1816, died February 1, 1886; Samuel Berry, born in 1819, and
Susan Smith, born February 20, 1821.  Most of this large family attained
to years of maturity and reflected credit upon the name in the various
stations of life which they were called upon to occupy.  But it is to
William and John B. Utterback that this sketch is chiefly dedicated.  The
former was reared upon the homestead of his father, was carefully educated
by him, and always remained at home as the faithful assistant of his
parents.  After the death of the latter he gradually acquired the sole
ownership of the home farm, and added extensively to it, and to the
original log house which is pioneer father had erected.  He never married,
neither did he aspire to public place or position, but led an honest,
industrious and faithful life, and died in the enjoyment of the respect and
confidence of the community in which his active life was passed.  John B.
Utterback was also reared on his father's farm, where he received an
excellent English education, and at the age of eighteen left home and at
first worked on the farm of a friend, and finally for several years on the
farm of his uncle, Lewis Berry.  He afterward brought a small farm, but
a few years later sold it and bought some 300 acres at Mount Vernon
Church, Woodford County, where he passed the remainder of his life.  He
acquired other property in the county besides, and at the time of his
death owned nearly 600 acres of land.  He was a man of high character,
genial, popular, progressive and public spirited, but never aspired to
political place.  He was a member of the Christian Church.  He married
Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Ware, and had a large family
of children: Lewis is now farming in Missouri; Charles W. owns and occupies
the old homestead of his grandfather in Woodford County, his children being
the fourth generation of the family to occupy the old farm; a daughter,
Allie, became the wife of William Smith, of Winchester, and died in 1886;
Leila resides on the father's homestead, and Fanny and Elizabeth,
respectively, became the wife of Hardin Fields and David Redd of Missouri;
John B. Utterback occupies the farm where his father died.  Charles W.
Utterback was born August 1, 1848.  He enjoyed excellent educational
opportunities, and farmed the old Berry farm until the death of his father
and Uncle William, by the latter of whom he was chiefly reared.  He then
came into possession of the Berry farm and that of his Uncle William,
which he is now engaged in cultivating.  He married Sallie W., daughter of
W. K. and Monarcha Taylor, the granddaughter of Benjamin Luckett, the old
hotel keeper of Frankfort, and has four children: Benjamin, Betty, Leila
and Charles William Utterback.  Mr. Utterback is regarded as one of the
most enterprising and intelligent of Woodford's young farmers.
