[Bourbon County]    [Hutchinson Precinct]

O. H. BURBRIDGE, farmer, P. O. Hutchinson, was born May 9, 1821, in Scott
County, Kentucky, and is the son of Capt. Robert Burbridge, a soldier in
the war of 1812, and grandson of Capt. George Burbridge, a soldier in the
war of the Revolution.  The Blue Grass region of Kentucky boasts of many
old and honored families, and of the list there are none, perhaps, more
worthy of mention in a history sacred to their memory, than the Burbridge
family, all men of broad views, active minds and fine intelligence; they
have figured for many years in the public affairs of the State, and have
left upon record a career worth of emulation.  The old Revolutionary
soldier removed to Kentucky during her early history, bringing a family
with him, whom he reared to honorable man and womanhood.  The father of
our subject at that time was but a young boy; he early took an active
interest in the stirring events of the times; became a solider in the war
of 1812, and rose to the rank of captain.  He married Miss Eliza Ann,
daughter of Jno. A. Barnes, of Port Gibson, Mississippi.  The three sons
born to them have all been active men.  Gen. Stephen G. Burbridge, well
known to Kentuckians, Thomas B., killed in Russellville in 1867, by
guerrillas, and our subject, who has also had an active public career. In
1862, he was Colonel of the 24th Ky. Militia, enrolled for the defense
of the State, receiving his commission from Gov. Bramlette.  In 1859-60,
he represented Bourbon County in the State legislature, defeating Chas.
C. Lair; he was nominated and elected by the old Whig or Union party;
during 1865-6, he was supervising special agent for the treasury department
for the District of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas; he also held the
position of Quartermaster Agent, investigating claims in Tennessee;
retiring from public life, he devoted his time to his own private business
and to the establishing and collecting of claims; he is largely interested
in real estate; his home in Bourbon County consists of 235 acres of fine
land, besides, which he has over 1600 acres in Texas, eight acres in the
suburban town of Englewood, Chicago, and a fine property in Superior City,
Wisconsin.  He has been for some time interested in the breeding of fine
cattle and sheep, and has recently become interested in the breeding of
fine trotting stock.  Politically, he is a Republican, and he and family
are members of the Christian Church.  He was married January 8, 1846, to
Miss Rebecca S., daughter of James S. Matson.  They are the parents of
eight children, living, viz: Eliza A., James M., Robert O., Henry (dead),
Lucy M., Mary Louisa, Hattie W., Russell C. and Stephen G.
