son of John Wathen, who brought his family to Nelson County, Ky., in 
1815, just after the close of the war of 1812.  He was a soldier in that 
war.  Our subject was reared on a farm, and educated in a subscription 
school.  He came to Daviess County in 1835, settling in Knottsville 
Precinct, where he has since lived.  On the 24th of November, 1839, he 
married Miss Rebecca, daughter of Thomas F. Montgomery (deceased), an 
early settler of this precinct.  They have had eleven children, of whom
