zealous church member.  He served eight years in the Kentucky 
Legislature, and was Lieutenant Governor of the State, from 1854, to 
1858.  When the split occurred in Green River Association, in 1839, he 
adhered to the Missionary party, and became a member of Rock Springs 
church, in Liberty Association.  Elder Samuel Hardy, now of Missouri, is 
a son of his.
