Souvenir Edition, The Williamstown Courier, Williamstown, Ky, May 30, 1901, reprinted September 19, 1981 by the Grant County KY Historical Society. J. T. CHIPMAN. There are few better known or better liked young men in Grant county that J. T. Chipman. Young, active and vigorous, he is a shoot off of the old stock, and a typical Kentucky boy. "Jack" has barely turned his thirty-fifth milestone. He is a son of Joe Chipman, and was raised on this father's farm near Heekin, and attended the common schools of the neighborhood. He is a self-made man in every respect. When he started out in life for himself it was as a farmer and trader, and he has made a very decided success of life. He owns a find farm on Eagle Creek, well stocked with sheep, fine cattle and mules, and grows as fine crops as that part of the county will produce. He is industrious and active and always on the "go." He handles every year a great deal of stock which he buys in other parts of the state and grasses for a while on his farm and then turns over to the public. He is a man of irreproachable character, good demeanor and strict habits. He has been true to the part faith and has helped the Democratic boys of Downingsville in many a hard fought fight. "Jack" has been twice married. The first time he married Miss Flannelly, the daughter of Patrick Flannelly. To this union one child was born, a boy, now nearly grown. Mrs. Chipman died several years ago, and afterward Mr. Chipman contracted a marriage with Miss Mollie Cates. They live in peace, quiet and plenty at Mr. Chipman's Eagle Creek home. "Jack" has been in politics some lately, and while he has never been successful in landing an office, his friends say that he will be heard from again one of these days. He is quiet, unassuming and a gentleman, and true to his friends all of the time. Chipman Flannelly Cates = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/grant/chipman.jt.txt
