Spencer, Vol. II, 1886, pp. 210. Russells Creek Association. Adair Co. DANIEL SELF was an early preacher in Adair county. He was born in Culpeper co., Va., about 1785. Losing his father, in his infancy, he was carried to North Carolina, where he was raised up by a widowed mother. At the age of 15 years, he united with a Baptist church. He married and moved to Adair county, Ky., not far from 1810. He served as a soldier in the War of 1812-15. At the close of the war, he returned to his home in Kentucky, and some time afterwards, was liberated to preach. His education was very meager, indeed, but he now applied himself to improving it, so earnestly, that he finally acquired a fair stock of information, including some knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages. He is said to have been warm and zealous in prayer and exhortation, but dull and prosy in attempts to elucidate a text. He did not acquire much preaching ability, and, it is believed, was never pastor of a church; but he was regarded as a good man, and he made a good impression on the people. About 1833, he moved to Logan county, where he died, in May, 1841. He was twice married, and raised fifteen children. John W. Self, his only son, by his second wife, is a very acceptable preacher, in Warren county.

JAMES L. WHARTON, clerk of the Washington County Circuit Court, and son of John R. and Sarah (Caldwell) Wharton, was born on the 17th of February, 1843. The Whartons were of English lineage, and several members of the family were among the early residents of Virginia. John R.

He moved to Washington County in 1821, and for a number of years sold goods in Springfield. In after life he became a farmer, and died December 4, 1880. His wife, Sarah Slaughter Wharton, was the daughter of Mr. James Caldwell, who lived near Danville, Ky. He was a native of Kentucky, and a grandson of James Caldwell, D. D., one of the founders of Princeton College, New Jersey, and a distinguished clergyman of the Presbyterian Church, and who died in his native State. Mrs. Wharton died near Springfield, Washington County, Ky., in 1855. The following are the names of the children born to John R. and Sarah S. Wharton: Mrs. Susan Loving; G. C.; Phoebe (deceased), James L. and John C. By a previous marriage with a Miss Ray, Mr. Wharton had one child, Lloyd R. Wharton (deceased). James L. Wharton grew to manhood in Washington County, and was educated in the Covington Institute, of Springfield, and Columbia College, which latter he attended for two years. At the breaking out of the war he entered Company A, Fifth Kentucky Union Cavalry, as first lieutenant, served until the latter part of 1862, when he was promoted to the captaincy, and in the spring of 1863 was promoted major, holding that position until 1864.

Mr. Wharton then returned to Washington County, and engaged in agricultural pursuits until 1869, at which time he was appointed United States gauger for the county, a position he held until 1874. He was then elected clerk of the Washington County Circuit Court, which office he still holds. Mr. Wharton was elected upon the Republican ticket, a fact which speaks much for his personal popularity, the county always having been decidedly Democratic.
