WILLIAM B. WICKLIFFE, Muhlenburgh [sic] County, was born February 15, 1810, 
three miles from South Carrollton.  He is the eighth of five boys and five 
girls - all of whom lived to Arington and Catharine (Davis) Wickliffe, 
natives of Prince William County, Va., and of English descent.  Arington 
was a soldier in the struggle for Independence, and came to Muhlenburgh 
County in 1801, and purchased and settled 400 acres of land near South 
Carrollton.  He died in 1820 at the age of sixty-eight years.  W. B. 
Wickliffe was reared on a farm, and lived with his parents till their 
death; his mother died in 1836, aged sixty-eight years.  Mr. Wickliffe has 
had considerable experience of life in the wilderness, and when a young 
man, made several trips on flat-boats to New Orleans.  When the war broke 
out, he owned 500 acres of land, and sixteen slaves; he now owns forty 
acres, where he resides, south side of railroad.  He was married, February 
16, 1837, to Sarah J. Bodine, of Muhlenburgh County, Ky., a daughter of 
Jacob and Jane (Wickliffe) Bodine, natives, respectively, of Nelson County, 
Ky., and Virginia, and of Dutch and English descent.  To this union were 
born two children, both deceased.  Mr. Wickliffe married Mrs. Margaret 
Nicholls, of Muhlenburgh County, a daughter of Abner and Margaret (Barnett) 
Lee, who were natives of North Carolina; three children were born by this 
marriage: Sarah (deceased), Carlisle (deceased), and William A., who is
now county attorney, and ranks as one of the foremost young men of the county.
Mrs. Wickliffe had five children by her former husband, viz.: Pamelia (King),
Elizabeth (Glover), Catherine (Hill), James M. and Louisa (Grundy).  Mr. and
Mrs. Wickliffe are members of the Baptist Church; he is a member of the F. &
