J. M. CRABB was born in Henry County, Ky., June 23, 1833, the fourth of
eight children born to S. D. and Nancy (Poston) Crabb.  S. D. was born in
Kentucky and was engaged in agricultural pursuits.  He was a son of
Jeremiah and Eleanor (Compton) Crabb.  Jeremiah was a tanner by trade, and
was a native of Maryland, but immigrated to Kentucky in 1796, and settled
in Nelson County, near Bardstown.  He did not work at his trade after
coming to Kentucky, but devoted his time to agricultural pursuits.  Mrs.
Nancy Crabb was born in Bourbon County in 1802, and is still living.  She
is a daughter of John and Nancy (Yates) Poston.  Our subject has always
lived in Henry County, was educated in the common schools and Georgetown
College, and has always followed farming and stock raising; owns 300 acres
of fine land near Eminence, and is a prosperous farmer.  December 2, 1857,
he married Mary Netherton, of Oldham County, daughter of John and Margaret
(Johnson) Netherton, and three children have blessed their union, two now
living: John A., who was born September 12, 1861, educated at Georgetown
College, and October 1, 1884, opened a saddle and harness store in
Eminence, and has been very successful.  The other living chile is J. T.,
who was born January 24, 1865, was educated at Eminence College, and is at
home on the farm with his father.  The mother of these children died
February 7, 1865, and May 3, 1866, he married Bettie Byrns, of Henry
County, daughter of Aaron and Elizabeth (Bryan) Byrns.  Of the two children
