History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 697. [Harrison County] [Richland Precinct] JOHN ASBURY, farmer, P. O. Antioch Mills, is a native of Harrison County, Ky., and son of Clayton and Nancy (Mattox) Asbury. He was born Jan. 13, 1845. He lived with his parents up to the time of the war when he enlisted in the 40th Regt., Co. G, K. V's, of the Confederate Army. In 1865 he followed the occupation of farming upon a rented farm. In 1867 he bought twenty acres of land, which he tilled until 1869. At that time he married Nancy E. Whitteker, who has borne him six children: Minnie E., Robert E., Anna J., John W., Emma F., and Benton S. He spent the first year of his married life upon his father-in-law's farm. In 1871 he bought 150 acres of land, and in 1880 added to it 187 acres, now having 337 acres, upon which he now resides. Upon his farm he raises all of the principal crops and is making stock-raising a specialty, his attention in this department being turned principally to the thoroughbred "short horn." He is a Republican and cast his first presidential vote for James A. Garfield. He is a member of the Christian Church at Antioch. His wife is a member of the Methodist Church at Mt. Vernon.
