WILLIAM A. McMAKIN, a native of Nelson County, was born October 8, 1816, a
son of Charles McMakin, a native of Virginia, who came to Kentucky in an
early day with his parents, and settled in Nelson County, but subsequently
moved to Shelby and Oldham Counties.  He died at Lexington, Ind.  He
married Elizabeth Duncan, a native of South Carolina, and daughter of
William Duncan, a native of the same State.  Four sons and three daughters
were born to their union, and of this family our subject is the eldest. His
grandfather, William McMakin, was a native of Virginia, came to Kentucky
in 1802, and settled in Nelson County, where he lived the greater part of
his life, and died in Louisville in 1849.  Our subject has devoted his
life to farming pursuits, and now has a farm of 260 acres of well
cultivated land in LaGrange Precinct.  He married, in 1843, Enreth E.
Ellis, a native of Shelby County, and daughter of Stephen Ellis.  One son
and one daughter blessed their union: Henry and Julia, (the latter
deceased).  Mr. McMakin died about 1847, a member of the Baptist Church of
many years standing.  Mr. McMakin's second marriage occurred in 1852 with
Sarah M. Oglesby, a native of Oldham County, and a daughter of Ellis and
Jane (Yager) Oglesby, and the following named children were born to them:
Florence, RIchard and Monchie (last two deceased).  Politically Mr.
McMakin is a Democrat.  He is a member of the Baptist Church, and his
wife of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
