[Scott County]  [Georgetown City and Precinct]

JOHN M. VILEY, physician and farmer; Georgetown; was born on the place
where he now lives, and which was the homestead of his father, in the year
1823.  He attended the schools of this vicinity and Georgetown College, at
the age of sixteen, taking charge of the old homestead.  At the age of
twenty-three he married, and the farm then became his own. He began in 1838
the study of medicine, and without direction, pursued it for two years, and
in 1840 began practicing, continuing until 1858 with excellent success,
when he gave it up for twenty years, resuming again some three years since.
In 1846, he married Miss Susan A. Long, whose mother, aged ninety, still
lives; her birth-place was Sumpter District, South Carolina, and she came
to this State in 1819; she was a Miss Bradford, and married James Long in
1819; he being  Kentuckian; they settled in Scott County, Ky.; he died in
1859.  Dr. Viley's farm was called "Cedar Grove" by his father, because
of the avenues of cedars in front of the residence.  The Dr. has eight
children living.  A stream passing through the Viley estate is called
McClellan's Run, in honor to the man who made one of the pre-emption
rights in Scott County, and held about 6,000 acres here in a solid body.
In 1869, Dr. Viley built his present distillery, known as Wilson's Springs
Distillery; this has been in operation ever since, barring a few brief
periods.  It is located on McClellan's Run, and has a capacity of three
barrels per day, employing from three to five hands.
