Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Reprinted 1968. Washington County. The late Honorable FELIX GRUNDY, of Tennessee, was also for some years a citizen of this county, to which he was brought by his parents from Virginia, in his early boyhood. He was a native of Berkeley county, Va., where he was born in September, 1777. Mr. Grundy was for many years a distinguished member of the Kentucky legislature, and while he remained a citizen of the State, was appointed chief justice of the court of appeals. In 1808 he removed to Tennessee, and was subsequently a member of Congress from that State. He represented the State of Tennessee in the Senate of the United States for many years, and during the administration of Mr. Van Buren, was appointed attorney general of the United States. Mr. Grundy was one of the most distinguished lawyers and statesmen of the western country. When in the councils of the nation he had but few superiors. His politics were demoncratic, of which party he was always a most zealous and efficient supporter. Grundy Van_Buren = TN Berkeley-VA http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/washington/grundy.f.txt
