Notes

Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Allen County, KY Vol. 3 p. 736. HON JOHN J. GATEWOOD was born in Allen County, Ky., November 8, 1830. His early life was spent amid the scenes and labors incident to farm life. At the age of twenty years he had acquired a fair common school education, and afterward studied for two years in the Scottsville University. After leaving school he was appointed deputy sheriff of Allen County, and in that capacity served one term, after which he read law for two years; was licensed and went to the bar in 1855. His marriage took place November 13, 1855, with Fannie Burton, of Allen County. After marriage he continued in the practice of the law, and in 1858, was elected to the office of county attorney four years in the Lower House of the Kentucky Legislature, during which time he was chairman of the committee on county courts. In 1871 he was elected to the State Senate, and through a term of four years in that body, he also served as chairman of the committee on education. In 1871, while a member of the State Senate, he moved the amendment that abolished the whipping post in Kentucky. Upon his retirement from the Senate he turned his attention to the practice of law, in which he has been very successful. Politically he is a Democrat. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, in which order he has reached the Royal Arch degree.

He, his wife and five children are consistent members of the Methodist Church South. They are the parents of seven children, six of whom are living: Mary, Minnie, Rose, Bertie, Roy and Max.

Fletcher Gatewood, the father of our subject; was a Virginian; he came to Kentucky in 1801, where he married Mary Calvert, whose parents resided in Barren County (now Allen). He was engaged in agricultural pursuits until 1872, when he "was gathered to his fathers." He left a family of four sons and eight daughters; his widow, Mary (Calvert) Gatewood, still survives at the age of seventy-four years. She was born in 1811, and is the daughter of John Calvert, a native of North Carolina. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was with Gen. Jackson at the battle of New Orleans. He died in Allen County, Ky., aged seventy-five years. John Gatewood, subject's grandfather, was a native of Virginia. At the age of sixteen he entered the Continental Army, in which he served until the close of the war; he was present at the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Most of his life was spent in agricultural pursuits. He lived to an advanced age.
