of eight children born to Parker and Ann H. (Taylor) Dudley.  Parker Dudley

pursuits, and for eighteen years prior to his death was receiver of public
moneys at Palmyra, Mo.  He died in October, 1853; he was a son of Ambrose
Dudley, a native of Spottsylvania County, Va., who immigrated to Kentucky,
then part of Virginia, at an early day, and settled in Fayette County.  He
was the first Baptist preacher at Bryant's Station Church, Fayette County,
of which church he was pastor for forty years, and his son, Thomas P.
Dudley, was pastor of the same church sixty years.  Mrs. Ann H. Dudley, a
native of Caroline County, Va., was a daughter of Reuben T. amd Mary
(Thornton) Taylor.  Reuben T. Taylor was born in Virginia, came to Kentucky
at an early date and settled in Fayette County, where he was a farmer and
stock-raiser.  F.H. Dudley received a good education, and in 1855 commenced
steamboating on the Mississippi River, having his head-quarters at St.
Louis; he was thus engaged until 1863, when he went to Cincinnati and became
Secretary of the Licking Valley Fire Insurance Company, which position he
retained until 1868; he then moved to Clark County and commenced the
practice of law, in which county he owns a beautiful farm of 185 acres near
Winchester.  In 1881 he opened a furniture and carpet store in Winchester,
which business he has since carried on successfully.  In September, 1875, he
married Nannie Kimbrough, of Harrison County, Ky., daughter of Dr. John W.
and Alice (Tebbs) Kimbrough.  Three children have been born to this union,
Thomas P., John M. and Tebbs.  Mr. And Mrs. Dudley are members of the
