W.D. CROWLEY is a native of what was formerly Hopkins County, Ky., born
October 16, 1832, and is a son of Edmund and Clementine (Marks) Crowley.
He is the eldest son of seven children, and of Irish and English descent.
His father was born in Kentucky, and his mother was a Virginian.  The
Crowley family has been known in Kentucky for more than half a century, and
took an active part in the early improvement of the country.  The father of
our subject died in 1861.  In 1859, W.D. settled where he now resides; he
now owns more than 200 acres of land, and his farm is in a good state of
cultivation.  He raises grain, stock and tobacco.  He was married, in 1859,
to Miss Mary A. Thompson, a native of Missouri.  This marriage has been
blessed with seven children: Francis M., Martha J., Edmund J., Clementine,
Julia, Ada, and Anna P. (deceased).  Mr. Crowley is a Republican, and held
the office of constable for some time in his district.
