1887, Grant Co.

J. H. WESTOVER was born in Grant County, Ky., one mile southeast of
Williamstown, November 3, 1863, and is the second child and eldest son
of a family of thirteen born to W. H. and E. J. (Page) Westover.  W. H.
Westover was born in Uniontown, Penn., January 11, 1837, came to
Kentucky in 1847, with his parents, and settled in Grant County.  He 
buys and ships walnut and poplar, and is also engaged in agricultural 
pursuits.  He is a son of Homer, who was born at Green River, Columbia 
Co., N. Y., in 1806.  In 1820 he moved to Virginia, subsequently to 
Pennsylvania, then to Kentucky in 1847.  W. H. Westover married, April 
21, 1861, E. J. Page, daughter of John K. Page.  They had thirteen 
children, viz: Alice J., J. H., Leolia, George D., W. D., Robert E. L.,
Monroe, Lizzie F., Priscilla, Ray, Rob R., Max C. and an infant.  J. H. 
Westover was raised on a farm, and received a common-school education. 
He read law under E. H. Smith, and was admitted to the bar December 12, 
1885, and won his first case in the circuit court, five days after he 
was admitted.  He remained about one year with Mr. Smith, and in 
October, 1886, he formed a partnership with D. C. Points, under the 
firm name of Westover and Points.  Mr. Westover was elected police 
judge in August, 1886, for a term of four years.  Although this law 
firm is young, they seem to be getting their share of business.  They 
are both strict members of the Baptist Church, and are sober, honest
and industrious men.  The Judge is a member of the I.O.O.F. Centurion 
Lodge, No. 100, at Williamstown.  He is also a member of the I.O.G.T.  
Politically he is a Democrat.  The Westovers of this county, about 
forty in number, are descendants of Jonathan Westover, who came from 
England some time prior to the Revolution, in which struggle he took 
part with the colonies.  Two brothers, who came with him, joined the 
Tories, went to Canada, and were lost sight of.
