REV. J. McCLUSKY BLAYNEY, D.D., was born in Ohio County, Va.  His
father, Charles Blayney, a successful farmer, was born in Ireland, came 
to this country at the age of twelve years, and was from a branch of 
the Lord Blayney family of Castle Blayney, Monaghan County, whose 
succession is given in Burke's peerage of England back to 1598, when 
Sir Edward Blayney accompanied the Earl of Essex to England, and was 
elevated to the peerage, July 29, 1627.  His mother's name was Nancy 
Faris, a descendant of an old Virginia family.  J. McClusky Blayney 
entered the classical academy at West Alexander, Penn., at the age of 
thirteen years, entered college at Washington, Penn., in 1857, and 
graduated in 1860; entered Western Theological Seminary, Alleghany, 
Penn., the same year; was licensed to preach in 1862, and graduated in 
1863.  He preached one year at Ontario, Ohio, and was recalled by his 
presbytery to Virginia and took charge of the Presbyterian Church at 
Charleston, Kanawha County.  In 1867 he removed to Frankfort, Ky., and 
preached there two years; was called to the First Presbyterian Church 
at Albany, N. Y., and removed to that city in 1869; received the

Albany in 1880 and went abroad; traveled in Europe and this country 
until 1884; returned to Frankfort, Ky., at the beginning of that year, 
and took charge of the First Presbyterian Church there.  He was
