JOHN T. DEAKINS, born in Shelby County, Ky., September 9, 1829, is a son
of John W. and Nancy (Mann) Deakins, both natives of Kentucky.  John W.
is a son of John and Polly (White) Deakins.  Grandfather John was born in
Virginia; immigrated to Kentucky in an early day, and was a farmer all his
life.  John T. Deakins lived in Shelby County until 1849, then moved with
his father to Franklin County.  He was educated at the common schools, and
was successfully engaged in farming and stock raising up to 1880, and
was also merchandising for seven years of the time.  He then settled at
Belle Point, Franklin County, which is just across the Kentucky River from
Frankfort. Immediately after locating he was engaged by the Farmers'
Tobacco Warehouse Company, of Louisville, Ky, as their agent or buyer for
this section of the country.  Mr. Deakins is a fine business man and his
firm values him highly.  He not only aids the firm with his labor but
assists it financially, which he is fully able to do.  February 27, 1851,
he married Miss Mary Woodside of Henry County, Ky., daughter of Alexander
and Susan (Rose) Woodside.  Six children were born to this union, of
whom five are living: John C., who married Sallie Moore at Shelby County,
Ky., (they had four children: William J., Omer, Howard and Luly); the
second born was Annie M., who married Joseph Stivens of Shelby County,
Ky., a son of William and Nancy (Shuck) Stivens (they had four children:
Nancy B., Owen T., Mary E. and Curtis); the third child, Owen C., married
Nancy Moore of Shelby County, a daughter of George and Sarah (Hughes)
Moore, and had one child, Curtis: the fourth is named Ezra T.; and the
fifth, Alice B., who married J. A. Violett, of Franklin County (they had
three children: Luther F., Mary W., and Walter B).  Mr. and Mrs. Deakins
are members of the Baptist Church.  Mr. Deakins' address is Frankfort, Ky.
