H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. McCracken Co. JOHN M. HARRINGTON. This strangely gifted, but singularly weak and vacillating man, was a native of New York, whence he emigrated to Metropolis, Illinois, and became pastor of the church at that village, not far from the year 1850. This church belonged to West Union Association, and Mr. Harrington soon became a prominent actor in that body. About 1854, he moved across the Ohio river and settled near Spring Bayou church in McCracken county, Ky. He was a brilliant and fascinating speaker, and would have been extremely popular, but for the fact that he occasionally got drunk. He was moderator of the Association, some five or six years. After the beginning of the civil War, he attached himself to the Federal army, in the capacity of suttler. While in this position, he was accused of various disorderly acts, upon conviction of which, hew as excluded from Spring Bayou church. After the close of the War, he moved to Nelson county, where his preaching was so popular that the church at Bardstown entered into negotiations with Spring Bayou church from which it obtained consent to receive him into fellowship. After this, he spent several years in preaching in Nelson and the surrounding counties, and was remarkably successful, especially as an evangelist. After the death of his wife, he moved to Illinois, where also he was very successful for a time. But charges of disorderly conduct were preferred against him, and he was again excluded from his church. After some time, he obtained admission into another church, and then moved to Kansas, where he was still preaching, when last heard from. His son, J. R. Harrington, is a respectable preacher in Nelson Association, and, if he lacks his father’s brilliant genius, he has not exhibited his moral weakness.

Nelson Co. Judge Alexander Phillips Miller was born in Nelson county, Kentucky, August 12, 1821; emigrated with his parents to Marion county, Missouri, in 1835, and after remaining there about nine months removed to Pike county, where he has since resided. His father, Alexander Miller, was a native of Virginia, having been born near Winchester in April, 1784, and removed to Kentucky with his father in 1803. His mother, Sarah Phillips, was born in Kentucky in 1787, and married in 1809. There were five children, three of whom lived to attain their majority, but now the subject of our sketch is the only survivor. Judge Miller received only such education as the facilities of the times afforded. He was married in April, 1846, to Fanny Peay, a daughter of George W. Peay, an old and highly respected resident of Pike county. Although the attention of Judge Miller has been mostly directed to farming and stock-raising, in each of which he has large interests, he has, nevertheless, been several times called to discharge the duties of important political and judicial stations. He was commissioned as justice of the county court by Governor John C. Edwards in 1847, and again commissioned by the Governor a few years after the expiration of his first term of service. He was a candidate before the people for the legislature in 1876 and was elected by a decided majority. Judge Miller’s landed estate consists of six hundred and fifty acres, five hundred of which is comprised in his homestead; his farm is all of the best quality of land, all well improved, and in a high state of cultivation; he has an elegant residence, finished and furnished in a style commensurate with his wealth and position, everything about the place being first class. Judge Miller became a member of the Baptist Church in 1857, joining the Mt. Pisgah Church, and has since held the position of moderator of the Salt River association for five years, and acted as clerk of said association for a period of twenty years, and has attended forty-five out of forty-seven convocations or associations of his church. Judge Miller is the father of ten children, eight of whom are now living.

William Caswell Prewitt. This gentleman, for many years a citizen of Pike county, is a native of Fayette county, Kentucky, where he was born on the 29th of October, 1808. His father was Vaul Allen Prewitt and his mother’s maiden name was Mildred Ellis. Both his grandfathers, Robert Prewitt and Capt. William Ellis, were natives of Virginia, and both had been soldiers in the War of the Revolution and had fought to secure the independence of the American Colonies. In 1795, some years after peace had been proclaimed between Great Britain and the United States, and when we were no longer a dependency of England but a free and independent people, they left Virginia and removed with their families to the state of Kentucky and settled in Fayette county where they continued to reside during the remainder of their lives. The subject of our sketch, having before lost his parents, emigrated to Missouri in October, 1829, when he was but twenty-one years of age, and invested his limited means in land in Lincoln county and near the town of Auburn, where he continued to reside for ten years, devoting himself to farming and the constant improvement of his property. At this time he sold his farm for what was then regarded as a very high price, and bought a small tract of land two miles south of Clarksville in Pike county. To this place he moved in 1839 and commenced, as before, to improve his land and to better his surroundings. Here he still resides, but the little tract has grown into an immense farm and the small cabin into a palatial residence. Mr. Prewitt was engaged in the mercantile business in the town of Clarksville from 1840 till 1843 when he sold out his business and again addressed himself to the duties of the farm. In March, 1845, he was married to Martha C. Prewitt, daughter of Robert C. Prewitt of Lincoln county. At this time Mr. Prewitt was in the thirty-seventh year of his age, and had been a housekeeper fifteen years, while his wife was almost a girl, being at the time of her marriage a little less than seventeen years of age. To these parties five children have been born, of whom only one, William C. Prewitt, Jr., survives. The father of Mr. Prewitt, and also his wife’s father, who were brothers, were Kentucky volunteers in the War of 1812 and served in the army of the northwest under General Harrison. The former, Vaul Allen Prewitt, was adjutant of Colonel Dudley’s Regiment and was captured at Dudley’s defeat near Fort Meigs on the Maumee River, and after being stripped by the Indians of all his clothing except his pants and shirt, was thrust with some five hundred others into the famous Bull-pen where they received much severe treatment, until the interferences of Tecumseh put a stop to the cruelty of the savages. Robert C. Prewitt had been captured, before his brother, at the River Raisin. He entered the army before he was eighteen years of age and claimed that on account of the difficulty of getting supplies to the army he suffered more from hunger than from all other causes. William C. Prewitt, our subject, has long been actively engaged in successful farming, while the profits arising from his business have been cautiously and safely loaned, until at this time the accumulations have been such that he is known to be the wealthiest citizen of Pike county. To his honor be it said that no man who knows him could be induced to believe that he has ever made a dollar by any other than the most honorable means, and that he would scorn to take advantage of either a man’s ignorance or necessities in order to gain for himself any pecuniary advantage. Within the last few years Mr. Prewitt has made very considerable investments in real estate in the state of Colorado, where he spent several years with his sick daughter, Mrs. Mattie C. Gentry, wife of R. T. Gentry, who died in September, 1881, at the homestead in Pike county, Missouri. Mr. Prewitt, while he has been generally successful, and has succeeded in amassing a fortune largely in excess of that of a majority of the most successful business men even in the money centers of the country, has also, in various ways, during a long and active business career, sustained losses that aggregate a large sum of money. But losses can no more depress him than the constant accumulation of wealth can make him either selfish or vain. Under all circumstances he is the same cheerful, urbane, and dignified Christian gentleman. He is hospitable alike to the rich and the poor, while his generosity is exhibited in the quiet and unostentations [sic] manner in which he contributes to all charities and especially to the necessities of the poor and the unfortunate.

DAWSON – Dawson, Darby, Isherwood, Brownhill, Redman, Claypool, Porter, Redman 12282 Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume IIv – Battle – Perrin – Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. GEORGE W. DAWSON was born in Logan County, Ky., April 6, 1815, and is the third in a family of nine children born to William C. and Mary (Darby) Dawson, both of whom were natives of Montgomery County, Md., and of English descent. William C. Dawson received his early education in his native county and State, where he married and engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1810 he removed with his wife and family to Logan County, Ky., than an almost unbroken wilderness, where he bought wild land near Russellville, and subsequently improved the farm upon which he resided until his death, which occurred September 10, 1845, in his sixty-fourth year. He and wife were life-long and devoted members of the Baptist Church, in which church he had officiated as deacon for many years. His father, Robert D. Dawson, was a veteran of the Revolutionary war, and was wounded in one of the battles of that struggle. The death of Mrs. Mary Dawson occurred in November, 1866, in her eighty-sixth year. George W. Dawson received a good common school education in youth for that early day. By diligent application Mr. Dawson has materially added to his early education, having acquired by his own exertions, since he became a man, an excellent practical business education. Mr. Dawson has also traveled quite extensively in the Eastern and Middle States. He was employed on his father’s farm until he attained his majority, after which he farmed the place on shares for some five or six years. After his father’s death he bought the home farm, and remained on the same until in January, 1856, when he sold out and bought the farm of 300 acres in what is now the western part of Simpson County, Ky., on the waters of Spring Creek, upon which he still resides, and where he has extensively and successfully engaged in farming and stock raising. The farm is now in a high state of cultivation. Mr. Dawson first married, February 1, 1855, Frances A. Isherwood, a native of Washington, D. C., born July 20, 1827. She was a daughter of Robert and Christiana (Brownhill) Isherwood. To this union was born one son, viz.: Joseph N. Mrs. Frances A. Dawson departed this life May 17 1873.

GILLOCK has been one of the most active, zealous and successful preachers who have labored in Kentucky. He was born in Barren county, Ky., March 28, 1820. He received a very limited common school education, and has read but little else besides the Bible. At the age of 17 years, he professed religion, and was baptized by Levi Roark. He was licensed to preach, in 1847, and was ordained to the ministry by Isaac C. Tracy, John H. Baker, James Brooks, and others, in 1849. He at once commenced preaching as a voluntary and unpaid missionary, in the most destitute portions of the country around him. The Lord blessed his labors abundantly. Meanwhile, he was called to the care of several churches, of which he has usually supplied from four to six, with monthly preaching. In 1880, he wrote to the author substantially as follows: “In 31 years, I have traveled (on horseback) 123,597 miles and preached 8,587 sermons. The most of my labors have been performed in the counties of Allen, Barren, Cumberland, Metcalfe, Monroe and Warren. I have baptized 2,976 persons, gathered 16 churches and reorganized several that had been scattered during the War.” Mr. Gillock has been Moderator of Barren River Association, since 1872, except one year, and is still actively engaged in the ministry.
