W. H. DEASON was born in 1840 in Todd County, Ky.; his parents are
James N. and Eliza J. (Tucker) Deason, natives of Kentucky.  The father
was a farmer; his death occurred in 1864, at the age of forty-seven
years; the mother is living in this county, at the age of sixty-five
years.  These parents have eight children all living in years of maturity
(a very uncommon thing).  W. H. began for himself at the age of twenty
years; he farmed on rented ground for fifteen years, when be bought 150
acres, located on the East Fork of Pond River; he has a nice farm and is
a good farmer, responsible and well-to-do.  His principal product is
tobacco, having raised 4,000 pounds the past year; his farm raises good
corn and wheat, and is especially adapted for the latter; it can hardly
be excelled for wheat land.  He was married in 1861 to Mrs. Mary V.
(Tucker) Powell, of this county.  These parents have six living children,
viz.: Emma J. (the wife of T. N. Cathcart, of Tenn.), W. H., G. W.,
Mary A., Mida F. and Benjamin C.  The parents and two of the children are
members of the Baptist Church.
