ELIZABETH CALDWELL SHEPHERD – Shepherd, Tinker, Lewellen #11178: Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883. Bath County. Bath Co. “Old Ladies.” Mrs. Shepherd was born in Bath county, Kentucky on the 19th day of October, 1812. She came to Missouri in November, 1829, and settled on Peno Creek, and in the township of the same name, where she lived for two years and during which time, on March 24th, 1831, she was married to her first husband, Edwin B. Tinker. After her marriage she moved and settled on the farm upon which John Lewellen now resides. After a few years residence, here she moved with her husband to Bowling Green, where he died in July, 1840. Four children were born to them, all of whom are still living and residing with the limits of Pike county. In the latter part of 1841, the subject of this sketch was again married to John H. Shepherd, by whom she had seven children, five of whom are still living. Mrs. Shepherd has lived to see the country grow from a few meager settlements into a populous district and from almost abject poverty into a country teeming with wealth. The wolves, whose howlings was a source of constant alarm, have forever disappeared; the forests, which it seemed could never be cleared away, have at last succumbed to the woodman’s ax, and even the pestiferous flies that infected the prairies and made travel both disagreeable and unsafe, have long since forsaken their former haunts. The country which she first knew as a wilderness she has lived to see blossom as the rose, and the hamlets and villages of her girlhood have grown into thriving towns and prosperous cities. Mrs. Shepherd lost her last husband about two years ago. She still resides at the old homestead, in Bowling Green, and is always busy, cheerful, and apparently happy; she has long been known as a good neighbor, kind to all, generous to those needing assistance and hospitable as is the rule and habit of the early settlers of Pike. For fifty years she has been a member of the Baptist Church, and awaits without any apprehension or fear the common fate which in the course of nature must befall her.

PEARCE – Pearce, Woods, Pierce, Green, Cunningham, Morgan, Perry, Bowman, Bartley, Stanton, Leslie, Cowan, Offutt, Armstrong. Allen, Nelson, Crittenden, Murray #11176: Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Volume V, Battle-Perrin-Kniffin, 4th ed. Boyle Co. EUGENE H. PEARCE was born September 16, 1844, near Maysville, Ky., and is the only son of four children born to Wesley and Rachael (Woods) Pearce. Wesley Pearce was born and reared near Evansville, Va.; emigrated to Brown County, Ohio, near Maysville, Ky., about 1825, was a farmer, and died in 1877, aged seventy-four years. He was a son of Capt. Samuel Pearce of Evansville, Preston Co., W. Va., and who was one of its pioneers. The Pearce families of Virginia, Maryland and Delaware are of Scotch and Scotch-Irish nativity, the father, Samuel Pearce, immigrating to America about 1752, from Lurgan, north Ireland, whither the family has been driven by the religious persecutions in Scotland, under James II, against Protestants. Pursued by the dragoons of Claverhouse, executing the edicts of James II, the early ancestor, Mark Pearce, had only time to pause for a moment at his own door and say to his wife, “you go to Lurgan – I go to France.” By that persecution, a part of the Pearce family became identified with the Huguenots of France, afterward immigrating to America, and settling in the Carolinas and Georgia. From the Huguenot branch came the Pierces of the Carolinas and Georgia, represented in the present generation by his eminent Rev. Dr. Lovick Pierce, of Georgia, and his distinguished son, Bishop Geo. F. Pierce, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Samuel Pearce, the paternal grandfather of Eugene H. Pearce, was captain of a cavalry company in Gen.Green’s corps, during the war for independence, was wounded at the battle of Brandywine, and wounded at the battle of Brandywine, and was at the Yorktown surrender. He married Margaret Cunningham, of Virginia, a half sister of Zachariah Morgan, the founder of Morgantown, W. Va., and a prominent pioneer – her brother, Lieut. Cunningham, was in the fleet under Com. Perry and was killed during the war of 1812. The mother of E. H. Pearce was born near Maysville, Ky., and was a daughter of Micha and Hester (Bowman) Woods, one a native of Mason, the other of Bracken County, Ky. Micha Woods was a planter and trader, a soldier of 1812; from Mason County moved to Brown County, Ohio, where he died at an advanced age. For some years Judge Woods was judge of the county court of Brown County. He was a son of Samuel Woods, who was born in Carlisle, Penn., and who was a soldier during the war for independence, 1776 to 1781. He migrated to Limestone, now Maysville, in 1782, where he lived till his death. His brother, Ezekiel Woods, migrated from Mason County, Ky., and settled in Toledo, Ohio. Hon. William B. Woods, of the supreme court of the United States, 1880-87, is a son of Ezekiel Woods. Eugene H. Pearce was reared on a farm, graduated from the National Normal University of Ohio, in August, 1865, and also received honorary degree from Kentucky Wesleyan College; studied law with Hon. T. W. Bartley, an ex-chief justice of the supreme court of Ohio, at Cincinnati, also with Hon. R. H. Stanton of Maysville, Ky..; April, 1867, and was admitted to the bar, and practiced his profession till 1870, when he entered the licentiate of the ministry, acting till 1875 as assistant superintendent of the American Bible Society for western Kentucky; receiving leave of absence, was appointed by Gov. Leslie as commissioner to the Vienna International Exposition, making a general tour of Europe and Great Britain. After his resignation with the American Bible Society, he entered and completed a course of study at Drew Theological Seminary, and subsequently entered the Kentucky Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church South, and was first stationed at Covington, in September, 1876; he has since been appointed to pastorates at Paris, Versailles, Nicholasville and Danville, while at three of these places he caused handsome churches to be built – at Covington, Versailles and Nicholasville. In May, 1882, he purchased a residence in Danville – “Grace lawn,” the former residence of Col. Jno. Cowan. While he was connected with the Bible Society, October, 1869, to July, 1875, he traveled 37,459 miles and delivered 630 sermons and addresses. In 1870 he invented and introduced the supply of the Scriptures to railroad coaches, whilst acting as superintendent of the American Bible Society in western Kentucky. After filling pastorates with much acceptance at Covington, Paris, Versailles, Nicholasville and also as member of the board of education of the Kentucky Conference, Mr. Pearce became pastor of the Walnut Street Methodist Church South, at Danville, in September, 1884. Under his ministry here, there was an increase of thirty per cent in the membership, from 1884 to 1886, placing the church among the first in the South, in organizations and influence. In 1884 he published a “Manual of Church Work and Organization,” more especially for the use of his own congregation, but which through notice and commendation of the religious press and pastors elsewhere, had subsequently a circulation and sale in twenty States of the Union. As a member of the board of curators of Kentucky, Wesleyan College at Millersburg, Mr. Pearce, chiefly in 1887, advocated the relocation of the institution at Winchester, Ky., his addresses and arguments in behalf of the educational interests of the church being widely circulated and attracting much attention and commendation. Being officially appointed by the Kentucky Conference to represent its interests in Kentucky Wesleyan College, he made application and argument before the Kentucky Legislature, in the winter of 1886, for enactment of temperance legislation for Kentucky Wesleyan College and vicinity. In discharge of the duty, he became engaged in a newspaper controversy with Hon. Charles Offutt, speaker of the House and representative of the county in which the college was located (Bourbon). The result of the controversy was a very signal triumph for the interests of the conference and the welfare of the institution. In 1882 Mr. Pearce became interested in the growth and development of Florida, his influence and contributions to the press contributing no small degree to advancement of its interests, especially on the western coast and vicinity of Tampa Bay, where he located an estate and winter residence near Bay View, one of the most picturesque and attractive localities in Florida. In 1887 he was elected president of the Kentucky Chautauqua Assembly, at its first organization in the city of Lexington, in convention composed of ministers and laymen from different denominations throughout the State. For fourteen years, 1863 to 1877, he was also a members of the State executive committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association of Kentucky, assisting in organizing and promoting the work in many places. Mr. Pearce was married October 15, 1874, to Miss Annie E. Armstrong, second daughter of Charles Q. and Amanda F. Armstrong, at “Idylwild,” the country and ancestral residence of the family, near Bloomfield, Nelson Co., Ky. Miss Armstrong was born and reared in Louisville, Ky., and was educated at the Nold school for young ladies, and Louisville Female College. Possessed of culture, with graces of person and an active and benevolent disposition, Mrs. Pearce’s influence and usefulness has been of signal and marked character in all the walks of life. Her father, Charles Q. Armstrong, was for many years, one of the most active and prosperous citizens of the city of Louisville and was most highly esteemed. Her mother, Amanda F. Allen, was a daughter of Jas. Allen, one of the pioneers of Nelson County, and a most popular and useful citizen, greatly respected by all who knew him. The Allen family was one of unusual force of character. Col. Jno. Allen, a brother of James Allen, and member of the Shelbyville bar, was a graduate of the University of Virginia and commanded the Second Kentucky Regiment at the battle of the River Raisin, in the war of 1812, where he fell at the head of his regiment. A descendant of the Allen family, also, was Rev. David Nelson of Danville, Ky., the celebrated author of “Cause and Cure of Infidelity.” Gen. Thomas H. Crittenden and Gen. E. H. Murray are grandsons of Col. John Allen. Both were distinguished officers in the civil war, and subsequently became governors of Missouri and Utah. Another grandson is Logan C. Murray, president of the United States National Bank of New York City. Mr. and Mrs. Pearce have had born to them five children: Eugene Lovick, born in 1872, in Louisville; Stanley Dodd, born in 1876, at “Idylwild,”, Nelson County; Lillian, born in 1880, at Versailles; Allene, born in 1882, and Charles Wesley (deceased), born in 1885, at Danville, Ky.

Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago-Louisville, 1928. Jefferson Co. Mrs. Emma (Johnson) Warren, importer and milliner, conducts Louisville’s most attractive shop in the Business Woman’s Club at 425 West Walnut street. She was born at Fort Russell, Wyoming, and was a daughter of Edward and Catherine Johnson, natives of England and Belgium, respectively. Edward Johnson, a soldier of the Civil war, passed away when his daughter Emma was but seven years of age. His wife was still a very young girl when she crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel which reached American shores after a voyage of ninety days. During the period of pioneer development in the west she made her way from Baltimore, Maryland, to Wyoming, a portion of the journey in the party of “Buffalo Bill.” Her daughter Emma was a maiden of seven summers when she located her family in Louisville, Kentucky, and here she remained until the time of her removal to Paradise Valley, San Diego, California, where she not resides at the age of ninety years. By her marriage she became the mother of two sons and four daughters, as follows: Edward, Stuart, Cowling, Mary, Virginia, Alice and Molly; Lydia Elizabeth Johnson; Henrietta, who is the wife of Clyde McCormick of Bellingham, Washington, and the mother of two children, Clyde and Elmer McCormick; Katharine, the wife of Stanley Dean Adams of Memphis, Tennessee, and the mother of one daughter, Peggy; Mrs. Emma (Johnson) Warren; and Parnell, of Oakland, California, who married Lucy Stewart Cowling, and eight children were born to them – Parnell Stewart, Mary Virginia, Richard Arnold, Letitia Leachman, Lucy Cowling, Pendleton Taylor, Sarah Elizabeth and Alice McKay Johnson. Emma Johnson gave her hand in marriage to Jefferson Davis Warren of Frankfort, Kentucky, a representative of an old family of this state whose forebears were the “Warrens” of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis Warren are the parents of two sons: Louis Jefferson, who is a graduate of the Kentucky Military Institute, class of 1923; and David Francis, who is a member of the class of 19217 in the University of Louisville. It was in the year 1897 that Mrs. Emma Warren began business in the old McCauley block of Louisville, where she first paid a rental of thirty-seven and one-half dollars. Some idea of the appreciation of property values there may be gained from the fact that when she moved from this location in 1925 her rental was three hundred dollars. In her present shop at 425 West Walnut street are to be found all the attractions and fads of the world’s fines importing and millinery establishments, with everything in exquisite taste. It is several years ahead of other Louisville shops of similar character, and its owner is accorded a very large and gratifying patronage.

Montgomery Co. JOSEPH MELOAN. Mr. Meloan was born in Montgomery county, Kentucky on the 27th day of December, 1817. He came to Missouri in 1829, when but twelve years of age and after attending the common country schools for a short time, while yet on the farm, he entered the store of Dr. J. H. Hughes, where he continued to act as clerk for two or three years when, having attained his majority, he went to the lead mines of Wisconsin. Here he remained for less than a year when he again returned to Pike county and resumed the avocation of a clerk, this time entering the store of Judge Andrew Forgey, where he continued to do business to the entire satisfaction of his employer, until he entered the mercantile business on his own account. This business Mr. Meloan continued until his death, which occurred at Paynesville, always his home, on December 11, 1872. Mr. Meloan was thrice married, first to Mahala Clark in June, 1843. From this union there was but one child, William, now a minister of the Christian Church, and located in the state of California. Mr. Meloan was again married to Susan Patton, in December, 1850. To them two children were born. In 1853 he married the third time to Margaret Patton, who still survives. From this last union there were five children. Mr. Meloan was a man of great energy and perseverance, and at the same time possessed of wonderful probity and uprightness of character. He wronged no man and was above the suspicion of all who knew him; his word was his bond, given with deliberation but readily accepted by every one. He joined the Christian Church when a boy, and during a long and eventful career, he lived a Christian life and died at last with the Christian’s faith and hope. It can be safely said that no man ever lived in Pike county who did more good and less evil than the subject of our sketch, or whose memory is more sacredly cherished by those whose long and intimate acquaintance gave them a thorough knowledge of the life and character of the man.

HOPKINS – Hopkins,Garnett, Embry, Tribble, Smith #11165: County of Christian, Kentucky. Historical and Biographical. Edited by William Henry Perrin. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., Chicago and Louisville, 1884. Pembroke District. ROBERT G. HOPKINS was born in 1831 in Cumberland County, Ky., and in 1840 removed with his parents to Christian County, which has been his home to the present time. In youth he traveled over different States, abiding for some time in Missouri, but always regarded his own native State, and especially Christian County, as far surpassing them all. His father, Joseph H. Hopkins, was born in Buckingham County, Va., in 1798, and died in Christian County, Ky., in 1867. His grandfather, Samuel Hopkins, was a Virginian, and died in this county, at Oak Grove. He was related to Gen. Hopkins, of Kentucky and was a soldier in the war of 1812. Subject’s mother, Elizabeth M. (Garnett) was born in Culpeper County, Va., and died in Christian County in 1856. To herself and husband were born: Robert G., John W., Samuel G., Arney F. and Joseph F. Robert G.

Our subject received a good business education at the select schools of the county, and has been a constant reader of good books and papers, until he is considered well versed in general and current literature. By profession he is a farmer, and owns 367 acres of very valuable and productive land, which he manages with skill, and is successful in raising wheat, tobacco and stock – the later claiming his especial attention, and of which he is a careful and prudent manager. He is a member of the Grange, having been the sixth Master elected in the State of Kentucky to that useful and worthy order, and was a member of the State Executive Committee of that body for two years.

HARRIET M’CREERY JACKSON – Jackson, McCreery, Watson, VonPhril, Teson, Crow, Hargadine, Barnard, Carstarphen, Gunter, Hughes, Dow, Campbell, Creath, Smith, Hopson #11164 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883. Page 423, “Old Ladies of Pike County.” MRS. HARRIET M’CREERY JACKSON. Mrs. Jackson is still living at her home adjoining the city of Louisiana, in the full possession of all her facilities and with a deep interest in the welfare of her neighbors as well as the current events in the community where she resides. She was born on the 6th day of November, 1800, in the vicinity of Winchester, Clark county, Kentucky. Her father’s name was Elijah McCreery and belonged to a family which boasts of many distinguished names in a state noted for its men of great renown, both in civil and military life. United States Senator Thomas McCreery and Governor Robert McCreery are both her cousins in the first degree. Her childhood was spent partly in Henderson and party in Christian county – the common schools of the county affording the only opportunity for acquiring an education. Such advantages would be considered very limited now, but with the exception of one winter which she spent in Hopkinsville, where she attended a dancing school, as well as the common school of the village, they were all she had. These meager advantages, however, appear to have been amply sufficient to equip for the long, useful, and cheerful life she has lived. The necessities of the times demanded a sort of training for the girls of that period essentially different from the present. The men, and women too, had to depend upon home products and home manufactures for almost every article of the daily wearing apparel. The spinning wheel and the loom were necessary implements of industry in every household, and no girl’s education was complete without a careful training in their use. It was a happy, contented period in the history of the country, where there was a great simplicity in the matter of dress and a rigid system of economy practiced by nearly all classes of society. Like the other girls of the period, she, too, was well skilled in the use of these instruments. It may be said now that they imposed great labor and much absolute drudgery upon the female portion of the family, and so they did. There was, nevertheless, a large amount of compensation in the activities of such a life. Girls grew to womanhood in better health and with constitutions better prepared to meet the responsibilities and labors of maturer years than now. These instruments of their daily toll were perpetual reminders of the fact that their husbands and fathers were depending upon their loving help and assistance in the business of economizing and accumulating a sufficiency for the wants of age. They grew up with the idea that in time they were to become important factors in the work of helping a loving, trusting husband in overcoming the adverse circumstances of life and establishing a comfortable home for his loved ones. Such girls could spend the day in earnest, active labor, and at the country dance could “trip the light, fantastic toe” as long as “the fiddler” could hold out to play. These were the women whose training so well fitted them to become the mothers and heads of families in the log-cabins of the west. The same training and habits prevailed in the simple homes of the early settlers of Pike. Many look back to those days with a sigh of regret. They remember the time when the men wore the buckskin hunting shirt and the women were clothed in the simple garb made from cloth of their own manufacture, and when, in their opinion, even the angels dressed in linsey-woolsey. On the 30th day of January, 1819, in Davis [sic] County, Kentucky, being then but little over the age of eighteen years, the subject of this sketch was married to Julius C. Jackson, of Hartford, Ohio county, Kentucky. In the fall of 1831 they left Kentucky with a simple outfit of one wagon drawn by oxen, and which contained their goods and worldly effects, having two horses for the alternate relief of the different members of the party when they became tired by the way. They plodded along slowly westward with the town of Louisiana as their point of destination, and on the evening of October 1st, stopped at a log cabin just went of the fair grounds. It was the home of Christopher Jackson, the father of Mrs. Jackson’s husband. Christopher Jackson had died in the preceding month of August, but no tidings of the event had reached his son in Kentucky and was announced to him for the first time as he entered the desolate home. It may be well to stop for a moment and contrast the means of communication of that period with the present. There was no thought or anticipation connected with his future in Missouri that was not prompted by or associated with the idea that it was his father’s home. Much that was unpleasant and disagreeable in locating in a new country and among strangers was taken away by the idea that his father was living there and could at least help him to an acquaintance with a new order of things that he would find. They had wended their way along the old emigrant route through the states of Indiana and Illinois and reached the Mississippi Riser at Alton, where they crossed. It was then a small village, consisting mostly of log houses. Mrs. Jackson remembers that on the fourth day after their arrival at Louisiana a big snow fell, which is still mentioned as having been of unusual depth. The log cabin mentioned became the home of herself and her husband, and they continued to reside there for a period of five years. Mr. Julius C. Jackson in the meantime became owner of a saw and grist mill, situated on Noix Creek, just opposite the fair grounds, and generally known to the early settlers here as the Watson Mill. Mr. Jackson was a man of remarkable energy and business capacity, and during the time of his ownership of this mill he sawed the lumber with which he constructed the dwelling house situated just outside of the limits of the city of Louisiana, and fronting immediately upon what is known as the old dirt-road leading from that place to the town of Bowling Green. It is the same house in which her three daughters were married and in which Mrs. Jackson still lives, and was considered one of the finest residences of its day in the county. It was constructed almost entirely of walnut lumber and was substantially built. This house continued to be the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson from the time of its completion up to his death, which occurred September 26, 1869. Mrs. Jackson had a very large circle of friends and relatives. Among the latter were the Von Phrils, Tesons, and Wayman Crow, and Phocion R. McCreery, of the old and wealthy mercantile house of Crow, McCreery & Co., of St. Louis, and of which another relative by marriage, Mr. William A. Hargadine, also became a member. It was at this house that year after year they received and entertained this large circle of acquaintances with a generous and unpretending hospitality. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson – six boys and four girls. Three sons and one daughter died in childhood. Two sons, Cortes and Henry C. Jackson, are still living. Columbus Jackson, the second son, died in October, 1879, at his home in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Of the three daughters who grew to womanhood only one survives, she the eldest child, Attella Jackson, the wife of Capt. George Barnard, now living near the city of Louisiana. Belina Jackson, the youngest daughter married James E. Carstarphen, of Louisiana and has been dead a little more than two years. The other daughter, Marcella Jackson married the Hon. Thos. M. Gunter, of Arkansas, who has been a member of Congress from that state for the last ten years and was recently re-elected for another term. Mrs. Gunter has been dead several years. Mrs. Jackson’s life has in all respects been a most remarkable one. She can say what but very few people can, and that is that she never had a week of continual sickness during her whole life. She has been at all times a hearty, active housewife; energetic in the performance of her duties and prompted by a cheerful spirit. The ambitions of her life has been to be at all times active and useful. She has lived with strict adherence to the motto “early to bed and early to rise,” and was in all respects a true helpmeet to her husband. They lived together long enough to celebrate their golden wedding, and it seems that she has to pass the last years of her long life without him. She is, however, patiently waiting for the end with a Christian’s faith and hope. In 1838 she joined the Christian Church at Louisiana and was baptized by Dr. John H. Hughes, then a citizen of Paynesville. Thus for a period of forty-five years has she been a faithful, active, working member of the church, in which she has done what she could to illustrate the truth of what she professes. While there must be in such a life a great many sad incidents and unpleasant recollections, still they are overbalanced by the great blessings that have been bestowed upon her, and the pleasant reminiscences that rise up at every step along her pathway. Mrs. Jackson remembers very distinctly that very eccentric and singular man, Rev. Lorenzo Dow. On one occasion, in 1817, in Hopkinsville, KY., she heard him preach in the court-house at an appointment he had made just twelve months before. He was there promptly on the day and to the minute – the time of service being fixed at eleven o’clock sharp. Alexander Campbell, Jacob Creath, “Raccoon” John Smith, Dr. Winthrop H. Hopson, and other prominent ministers of the Christian Church here all enjoyed her hospitality. Her house was the favorite resort of Elder Jacob Creath during his visits to Louisiana. She remembers with great accuracy many of the prominent men and events.
