BENEDICT J. HAGAN was born near Taylorsville, Spencer Co., Ky.  June 10, 
1818.  His father, Nicholas Hagan, a native of Maryland, was a 
shoemaker, and lived in several different places, finally coming to 
Daviess County in 1838.  Benedict J. came here in 1839, and has always 
been a hard-working farmer, changing much of the land from a wild, 
uncultivated state to his present well-improved farm.  He now owns 140 
acres and is engaged in farming and stock-raising.  He was married in 
1840 to Maria J., daughter of Solomon McDaniel.  Thirteen children have 
been born to them, nine of whom are living--Alfred I., Susan C., Sarah 
E., Stephen P., Rosella V., Robert A., Benedict E., Solomon N. and 
Lucinda J.  One son, Henry L., died in 1878, aged twenty-two years.  Mr. 
Hagan and family are members of the Catholic church.  He is a member of 
the Total Abstinence Society.
