ARMSTEAD M. FELAND is a representative of one of
the pioneer families of Kentucky.  His grandfather, James Feland, came to
Kentucky from Virginia at a very early day, and in company with the family
of a Mr. Robison, consisting of the parents and four small children.  On
their journey Robison was killed by Indians, and Mr. Feland took upon
himself the care and protection of the family.  The youngest of these four
children was a daughter named Isabella, who, when about sixteen years old,
proved her gratitude to her former benefactor by becoming his wife.  Mr.
Feland, for
a short time, was a resident of Harrod's Station, but after the danger from
Indian depredations had subsided, he settled a tract of land about three
miles north from the site of Logan's Fort, being the land now occupied and
owned by A. M. Feland.  James Feland became an extensive farmer and land
owner, and died in 1819.  He reared three sons: Thomas, James and William;
the wife, Isabella, dying soon after the birth of the latter.  James
Feland, the second of these sons, and father of our subject, was born on
the above named farm in 1793; married Sallie Milner, daughter of Armstead
Milner, who was a neighboring farmer.  Sallie Milner was born in 1796 in
Lincoln County, and died in 1883.  James and Sallie Feland had but two
children: Isabella (deceased wife of W. M. Hay) and A. M. Feland. James
served as a soldier in the war of 1812, under Dick Johnson, and
participated in the battle of the Thames, where he was severely wounded. He
died in Lincoln County in 1828.  A. M. Feland was born in 1820, and
has devoted his life to farming and stock raising, in which he has been
successful.  He is in politics a Democrat, but has not been in public life,
save a service of three years as sheriff of Lincoln County.  Mr. Feland has
five sons: William B., a miner of Colorado; Albert, a farmer; F. R., a
lawyer and an editor at Lawrenceburg, Ky.; Dr. John Morgan, at Bath County,
Ky., and A. M., aged seven, at home.  Mr. Feland is an honored member of
the Masonic fraternity
