SMALLWOOD ECTON was born in Clark County, Ky., May 13, 1819, where he
resided until he was twenty years old.  He then moved to Henry County
and located on a farm, the pursuits of which he followed until two 
years ago, when he sold out and bought a house in Pleasureville, where 
he now  resides.  His parents, Thomas and Sarah (Kelley) Ecton, were, 
respectively, natives of Virginia and Kentucky, the former emigrating
from his native state and locating in Clark County, Ky., about 1796.  
His grandfather, Smallwood Ecton, was also born in Virginia, and served 
under Washington in the Revolutionary war.  In 1848 our subject was 
united in marriage with Millie Curtis, of Clark County, and one child 
has blessed their union--James.  Mr. Ecton is a member of the Methodist 
Church, a Good Templar and a Democrat.
