MASON EMBRY, Sr., Butler County, was born June 26, 1826, in Madison County, 
Ky., and, in 1833, removed with his parents to the northeast portion of 
Butler County, locating on the place where he now resides.  His father, 
Cader Embry, a native of North Carolina, was born in 1778; removed with 
his parents to Madison County, Ky., and was long a minister of the gospel, 
and organized the first Christian Church in Butler County; he died on this 
place, January 24, 1848.  He was the son of William Embry, of North 
Carolina, who died about 1840, aged about eighty years.  His father was 
William Embry.  Cader Embry married Frances, daughter of William and Sally 
Sebastian, of Madison County (born in 1785, died July 3, 1862).  From 
their union sprang Golson, Sallie (Forman), Fannie (Maxey), Wiley, 
Wilford, Nancy (Phelps), Allie (Dockery), Patsey (Embry), Frankie 
(Dockery), Amanda (Embry), Cader, John, Esquire and Mason, Sr. (subject).  
In youth our subject procured but a limited education at the old field 
schools of the country, but has since by application obtained a business 
education.  He has been twice married: first, September 12, 1843, to 
Elizabeth, daughter of William and Susan (Coy) Embry, of Butler County 
(born July 31, 1827, died april 18, 1864), and to whom were born Jesse 
H., Cader S., Paradine (Dockery), Adeline (Embry), Cynthia (deceased), 
Harlan, Orran and Wheeler (deceased).  September 18, 1864, Mr. Embry 
married Mrs. Emily Small, daughter of Phillip and Eunice (Armitage) 
Zagler (born in Pennsylvania, September 9, 1836).  This union has been 
blessed by the birth of Alice (Taylor), Adney, Cletus, Rufus, Eugene, 
Gauda and Daisy.  Mr. Mason has always been a successful farmer, owning 
455 acres of well improved and productive land.  He is running a 
wool-carding machine; is also dealing largely in live stock.  He is an 
active member of the Christian Church, of which he was long clerk.
