These parents were both natives of Harrison Co., Va.; the former was born about the year 1788, and the latter about 1799. He served in the war of 1812, under that daring and successful Indian fighter, Gen. Harrison. He settled near Rossburg, this township, in 1803, when the country was almost a wilderness and in a state of aboriginal barbarism. He was the father of four children; of Irish descent; a Democrat in politics, and universally respected. The remains of these parents rest in the little cemetery near Rossburg, she having died Nov. 1, 1858, and he July 10, five years later. The subject of this sketch is single, and rather enjoys that state. He owns a good farm of 100 acres, is genial of nature, and noted for his integrity.
