HARVEY BOHANNON was born in Shelby County November 3, 1829, the fourth son
of Henry and Philadelphia (Gale) Bohannon.  Henry was born in Woodford
County, a son of John (a native of Maryland) and Helen (Cook) Bohannon. He
was county commissioner of the circuit court, or, in other words, master in
chancery; was sheriff two years, magistrate several years, represented the
county in the Legislature one term, and was also deputy county surveyor.
His wife was born in Woodford County, daughter of Robert F. and Elizabeth
(Wood) Gale, both natives of Virginia.  Robert F. Gale was a soldier in the
Revolutionary war.  By trade he was a saw mill man, also built flatboats,
which his brother would load with produce and take to New Orleans.  He
died in 1847.  Harvey Bohannon has always been engaged in farming.  He was
county surveyor for twelve years and does more or less surveying still.
He is also engaged in the saw mill business on a small scale. May 31, 1849
he married Scynthia Scroggin, of Shelby County, a daughter of Sam and
Malinda (Miles) Scroggin.  Three children were born to their union, one of
whom is living, J. G., who is located at Greenville, Ky., engaged in the
practice of medicine.  He is married to Manday M. Hoyden, and has three
children: George H., Joe H. and Grace.  Our subject's first wife died in
1872, and October 31, 1873, he married Scynthia Gale, of Shelby County,
daughter of J. W. and Mary A. (Crook) Gale.  Two children blessed this
union--one living, Harvey Jr.
