HENRY COHRON, Butler County, was born August 31, 1833, in the southern part of this county, where he grew to manhood and where he still resides. He is a son of John Cohron and Catherine Cohron, nee Johnson; the former was a native of Campbell County, Va., and came with his parents to Logan County, Ky., September 15, 1797, where he lived many years, and died in 1877, at the age of eighty-five years; the latter was a native of Edmonson County, and died in 1876, aged eighty-five years. They had ten children, viz.: James, Polly (Ewing), Susan (Graham), Bettie (Howard), John, Adaline (Stringfield), Maria (Hill), William, Benjamin and Henry. Mr. Cohron was brought up on a farm, and had no educational advantages beyond the neighborhood schools. He was married January 27, 1859, to Mary A., daughter of Thomas and Thory (Richardson) Martin of this county, but born in Wilson County, Tenn., October 31, 1838. This union has been without issue but they have adopted a son, Edward C. In 1865 Mr. Cohron enlisted in Company M, Seventeenth Kentucky (Federal) Cavalry, in which he served until the close of the war. He is a farmer, and in politics a zealous Republican. The family are members of the Methodist Church.
