WOODSON MORGAN. Was born January 18th, 1804, in Nicholas county, Kentucky, and is a son of Garrard MORGAN, a prominent citizen of that state. Mr. Morgan spent his childhood upon a farm, and availed himself of the limited opportunity for obtaining an education in the county schoo1 of his vicinity. Nothing of importance except the regular routine of duties incident to the life of a young man of that day occurred until March 10th, 1853, when Mr. Morgan was married to Elizabeth, daughter of William BRUCE, a wealthy farmer of Fleming county, Kentucky. They began housekeeping on a farm in Fleming county, which had been purchased prior to the marriage. Here they remained until July 10, 1851, at which time Mrs. Morgan died, leaving her husband and eight children to mourn her loss; the youngest of these, however, soon followed the mother. Mrs. Morgan was a lady of fine culture, and possessed, for her day, a good education. The death of the mother caused the family to become separated, Mr. Morgan going to Elizabeth, a village near by, while the children were sent to live with some relatives. The family was re-united on the 22d day of February, 1857, by a second marriage, which took place between the gentleman of whom we write, and Mrs. Amanda DUNLAP, of Jacksonville, Illinois, and a daughter of Wm. VAUGHAN, D. D., a celebrated minister of the Baptist church, in Kentucky. A few months after the marriage, Mr. Morgan removed his family to a farm near where he still resides. In 1840, without any solicitation upon his part, the friends of Mr. Morgan elected him to represent his county in the Kentucky legislature. He acquitted himself very creditably while there, but no solicitation could induce him to accept a second nomination. He was elected supervisor of the township in which he resides, in 1862, and with the exception of four years, has held that office ever since, besides several others of less importance. Mr. Morgan is genial and kind-hearted to all. Having been employed largely in the public service, he has promptly and faithfully discharged every duty devolving upon him.

CHARLES MINER, one of the oldest settlers of Hensley township, was born in Fayette county, Kentucky, on the 29th of March, 1808. His father, Rufus MINER, was a native of Connecticut, came to the state of Kentucky in 1799, and married Betsey WHITE who was born in Virginia and came to Kentucky in 1794. Charles Miner was the second of fourteen children. His father moved from Kentucky to Ohio in 1811, and was one of the pioneer settlers of Highland county, where the subject of this sketch was chiefly raised. His parents were persons of fair intelligence, and to them Mr. Miner is indebted for his education. While spinning at the old-fashioned spinning wheel, his mother taught her son the rudiments of the common English branches, which lessons his father continued at night by the light of a hickory bark fire. Even tallow candles were scarce, and the lamps of the present day were entirely unknown. Three weeks schooling in a log school-house comprised all the instruction he ever had the advantage of, except what he received from his father and mother. When nineteen years of age he went to Hamilton county, Ohio, near Cincinnati, where he lived four years. While here he worked by the month, at first receiving only eight dollars for his services, and made occasional trips as a hand on a flat-boat, down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans, disposing of the produce with which the boat was laden either in that city or at the plantations along the river. He also spent two or three seasons in Louisiana chopping cord wood for the steamboats. In the year 1837 he removed to Vigo county, Indiana, and purchased a small farm eleven miles north of Terre Haute, with the little money he had previously saved. He was married in April 1839 to Asenath MALLORY; her death occurred in l846. He was married again in 1847 to Mrs. Charlotte HAYDEN of Vigo county; she died in August, 1849. His third marriage took place in April, 1850, to Eunice FRANKLIN; she was born in Vigo county, Indiana, on the 17th of August, 1823; and her father, Thomas FRANKLIN, was a native of the state of New York, and her mother of New Jersey. He came to Illinois in 1849, and entered land in sections 19 and 20, township 20, range 8, with Mexican land warrants, the land thus costing him about eighty-three cents an acre. At that date, that part of the county was thinly settled, and few improvements had been made. Between his house and Champaign there only stood one residence, and it was possible to strike out across the prairie in any direction, without being interrupted by farms or improvements; on the south, Sadorus was his nearest neighbor. Eleven of his fifteen children are now living: Annie, wife of William L. KEMP now living in Nebraska; Elizabeth, who married Levi CHAMBERS, and is now also living in Nebraska; Frank, Thomas, Ellen, Charles, Daniel, Monroe, Grant, John and Seth. The eight last mentioned are children by his present wife. His oldest son, Rufus MINER, enlisted in company I, 25th regiment, Illinois Volunteers, in 1861, the first year of the war of the recent rebellion. He served first in Missouri and Arkansas, and afterward with the army of the Cumberland. He took part in the battles of Pea Ridge, Murfreesboro and Chickamauga, and in every battle, carried himself like a true man, and a brave soldier. In the battle he was shot in the arm and hip, and after suffering severely from these wounds seven months, his removal home was attempted, and not being able to be carried entirely home, he died at the Duane House in Champaign, April 11th, 1864, and was buried from the farm. Mr. Miner first voted for Henry Clay, for President, and afterward became a Republican. After the organization of Hensley township, he was elected Justice of the Peace, and has held that office ever since, excepting one year when from some misunderstanding an election was not held.

SPECIAL NOTE: I have been having problems getting posts made to this week. If this one goes through, I will post today's bio - this is from 5/22. Sandi NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. Surnames: Headrick, Briney, Judy, Richmond "Portrait and Biographical Album of Champaign County, Illinois," Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1887. JOSEPH H. HEADRICK, a gentleman in the prime of life, is industriously engaged in farming on a fine tract of land in Newcomb Township, embracing 320 acres on section 1, which constitutes his present homestead. The improvements on his farm are among the best, not only in Newcomb Township, but also in Champaign County. A living stream of water runs through the farm, except in exceedingly dry times, which makes it excellent for stock purposes. Our subject's birth took place in Randolph County, this State, Sept. 19, 1846, on the farm of his father, and at thirteen years of age he started out in the world for himself, and since then has spent the most of his time in Champaign County. Our subject is the son of Andrew and Susan (HEADRICK) HEADRICK, who were natives of Kentucky, where they remained a few years after their marriage, and thence emigrated to McLean County, Ill. The mother died on the homestead in Randolph Township, in August, 1856. The father is still living, and a resident of the latter-named county. The family included eight sons and one daughter, of whom our subject is the seventh child. He was naturally of an industrious and enterprising disposition, and looked out for himself without difficulty, being always cheerful and willing to perform his whole duty, and making many friends. During the progress of the late war he, in 1864, enlisted in Co. G. 164th Ill. Vol. Inf., serving until the expiration of his term of enlistment, at which time the preservation of the Union was assured. After leaving the army he returned to McLean County, remaining in that vicinity until 1877, and then became a resident of Newcomb Township, this county, where he has since remained. Mr. Headrick was married when thirty years of age, in Newcomb Township, Sept. 10, 1876, to Mrs. Nancy (RICHMOND) BRINEY, who was born in Tazewell County, Sept. 26, 1847, and is the daughter of Wilson and Mary (JUDY) RICHMOND. She was reared by her parents on a farm in her native county, and when nineteen years of age became the wife of John B. Briney, who died in Tazewell County, March 24, 1873. Of this first marriage there were born three children; Lilly M., John W., and Valentine W. The two latter are deceased. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Headrick resulted in the birth of five children, whom they named as follows; John W., Calvin A., Grace L., Guy W. and Walter. The latter died in infancy. Mr. Headrick, politically, is identified with the Democratic party, and both he and his excellent wife are members in good standing of the Christian Church. A lithographic view of the residence and home place of Mr. Headrick is shown elsewhere in this work.

NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. 10871 FRANKLIN CO - ALBERT HILTON - Hilton, Mason, Rankin, Arnold, Deal, Reed, Noble, Sylvester, Arnold #10871: Biographical and Genealogical History of Appanoose and Monroe Counties, Iowa. New York: Lewis Pub. Co., 1903. Albert Hilton. The name borne by this gentleman has been a familiar one in Appanoose and Monroe counties ever since their organization as bodies politic, and the Hilton family has been an influential one in this section from the time that Iowa was admitted into the Union as a state. In fact, the history of the founder is largely a history of Monroe county, as he came here when the Indians were still in possession, and only three years after Iowa was given existence as a territory. No apology therefore is necessary for dwelling at some length upon the biographical details of this early pioneer, as they will prove interesting to all who enjoy stories of the "olden time." James Hilton, who was destined to become such a prominent citizen of the future Iowa, was born in Orange county, New York, July 9, 1816. Nine years later he was taken by his parents to New York city, there grew to manhood and in October, 1841, left his native state to identify himself permanently with the rapidly developing region beyond the Mississippi . Travel then was mostly by the rivers, and after a tedious journey across intervening states the young voyager found himself on one of the small steamers used at that time for navigating the great "Father of Water." On this boat he ascended the Mississippi to a little town called Keokuk and situated in what was then known as the Black Hawk Purchase. The landing at this point was made on the 20th of November, 1841, or only three years after Iowa territory had been organized, and when white men were not allowed to occupy the land west of the Purchase. What is now Monroe county was at that time the hunting grounds of roving tribes or red men. Owing to the unsettled condition of affairs young Hilton went to Missouri and remained there until September, 1842, when he returned to be present at the Iowa Indian agency when the treaty was negotiated between the national government and the Sac and Fox Indian tribes. The negotiations resulted in the purchase and throwing open for settlement of all the territory extending from the west line of Jefferson to the Missouri river, comprising more than two-thirds of the present state of Iowa. The young easterner was much impressed with what he saw on this occasion, and often in after life detailed the circumstances to parties of friends. The aboriginal owners of the land, yielding to inexorable fate and overwhelming odds, were assembled to bargain away under duress their hereditary homes and yield the land they loved to the hated pale face. The chieftains present at these negotiations bore names that have been perpetuated throughout Iowa to designate different political divisions of the state, but this is all that remains of that romantic race which roamed at will over all the boundless prairies of the west. Among the mighty chiefs taking part in this sad and solemn ceremony were Keokuk, Mahaska, Powshiek, Wapello, Pashpaho, Hardfish and Appanoose. After the conclusion of this historic treaty, young Hilton returned to Missouri and remained there until May, 1843, in which time the Indians were to vacate so much of the territory as extended westward to a line agreeing with the west line of what is now Monroe county. He then came back, and the picture presented on his return so impressed his imagination that it remained a vivid recollection to his dying day. The country was still in all its virgin newness and wild grandeur. Herds and flocks of wild game, the great open country without habitation, houses, fences or any other indication of civilization-such was the panorama unfolded before James Hilton in the spring of 1843. But this young man was there for practical rather than sentimental purposes, and the urgencies of the situation left him little time for moralizing; the main thing was to secure a home, and he at once made claim to a tract of excellent land, containing at that time two hundred and eight acres, on which he soon had erected the small log cabin so characteristic of as well as so indispensable to the early pioneer. On this place, which, however, underwent many changes in the way of buildings and other improvements, James Hilton resided during the long period that intervened between his first coming and his final call to rest nearly sixty years later. These years were marked by great activity both in public life, and during the time he held many offices of trust, which were administered with ability and unswerving integrity. He was the first clerk of the district court of Monroe county, having been appointed by Judge Charles Mason, in March, 1846. In April, 1857, he was elected judge of Monroe county, which necessitated his removal to Albia, where he resided for several years in a hewed log house in West Benton street. While occupying the position of judge he built the court house at a cost of about ten thousand dollars, and was warmly commended by the people for the economic judgment displayed in its construction. In October, 1871, he was elected to represent Monroe county in the fourteenth general assembly and acquitted himself as a legislator with the same discretion he always exhibited on the bench. He was an authority on all things relating to the early settlers and the history of Monroe county, and it was a rare treat to hear him relate stories and describe incidents of the remarkable times which have long since passed away never more to be seen of men. In the spring of 1860 Judge Hilton gave up his residence at Albia and returned to his beloved home in the country, where death overtook him on the 9th day of January, 1902, more than sixty years after he first set foot on the soil of Monroe county. In September, 1845, Judge Hilton was married to Mary E. Rankin of Davis county, with whom he lived in utmost harmony and affection until she was called from the scenes of earth in 1875. The union proved as fruitful as it was happy and of the twelve children all of the seven sons and three of the five daughters are still living. It is with Albert Hilton, one of the elder sons, that this biography is more immediately concerned, and some particulars concerning him will now be given. He was born in the old historic homestead in Monroe county, Iowa , April 8, 1853 , and was trained to farm life under the excellent instruction of his honored father. He received a good education as he grew up, and upon reaching manhood was well qualified fort he duties which it was his destiny to discharge during his lifetime. His ambition had always been to succeed in the higher branches of agriculture, and his wishes in this respect have been amply fulfilled. After securing a home of his own and one hundred and sixty acres of land as a basis of operations, Mr. Hilton soon developed his qualities as a farmer and breeder. Turning his attention to blooded stock, he soon had one of those fine thoroughbred herds for which Iowa has so long been famous, and to-day he ranks as one of the most successful breeders of Monroe county. He has never aspired to office, but devoted all his time to the prosecution of his agricultural interests, and is a pronounced Democrat, but in local affairs votes for the best man. May 15, 1884, Mr. Hilton married Miss Mary A. Arnold, a member of another of the old and highly respected families of Monroe county. Her father, Willis Arnold, was born in Franklin county, Kentucky, October 13, 1809, being the ninth child of a family of twelve sons and one daughter, all of whom grew up, married and had families; the last survivor is Mrs. Eliza J. Deal, a widow, who lived for some time with a daughter at Magnolia, Iowa. In 1816 Willis Arnold went with his parents to Washington county, Indiana, and later removed to near the town of Greencastle , where in 1835 he was married to Martha Rice Reed. There were nine children by this union, the three survivors being Elizabeth A. Noble, Eliza J. Sylvester, both residing at Albia, and Marcus T. Arnold, a prominent business man of Burlington, Kansas. In the fall of 1850 Willis Arnold came with his family to Albia and in the fall of 1853, was elected to the office of sheriff of Monroe county. He joined the Christian church at Greencastle , Indiana , in 1835, and at his house in Albia the first Christian organization was made. His first wife died a few months after this event, and in 1853 Mr. Arnold married Zerelda Robinson, of Indiana, by whom he had four children, and the three now living are Mrs. Mary ( Arnold ) Hilton, Martha L. Waugh of Lucas county, and Albert G. Arnold of Fairfield, Nebraska. The father died February 24, 1899 , at his home in Albia, when well advanced in the ninetieth year of his age. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hilton have one son, Carl A., who was born January 6, 1888, has developed already into a zealous student and gives promise of a career in life that will reflect credit upon his honored ancestry. The family are members of the Christian church and highly respected in the best social circles of the county, as well on their own merits as because of the respect felt by all the people for the memory of their pioneer fathers SCKY Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=south-central-kentucky Barren Co Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kybarren GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/

J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago-Louisville, 1928. JUDGE FONTAINE TALBOT FOX, Jr. Among the men who have been an ornament to the bench and bar of Kentucky was Judge Fountaine Talbot Fox, Jr., who was also a writer of note and for more than a half century a loyal, influential and highly respected citizen of Louisville. A member of one of the old and aristocratic families of the Blue Grasss state and a worthy son of a distinguished father, he was born June 10, 1836, in Somerset, Pulaski county, Kentucky, his parents being Judge Fontaine T. and Eliza (Hunton) Fox, the former of whom was classed with the foremost lawyers and jurists of Kentucky. Judge Fontaine T. Fox, Jr., entered Centre College at Danville when a youth of fifteen and was graduated with the famous class of 1855. Of frail constitution, he went to New Orleans for his health and spent a year in the Crescent city. He afterward taught school and his first knowledge of legal procedure was gained while acting as deputy clerk of the court. He prepared for the profession in the office of Burr Harrison, whom he always regarded as one of the great minds of Kentucky, and after his admission to the bar located in Elizabethtown. While a resident of that place he enlisted in the Confederate army and won a major's commission. He was captured and sent to a prison camp near Bowling Green. About 1866 he established his home in Louisville and formed a partnership with Colonel T. W. Gibson, who at that time was regarded as the city's leading lawyer. Judge Fox was assistant city attorney from 1870 until 1873 and in 1878 became vice chancellor at Louisville, receiving his appointment from Governor McCreary. Able, fearless and broad-minded, Judge Fox proved a natural arbiter of human differences and his decisions were sustained by the higher courts upon appeal. He held to high ideals in professional service and his record at the bar and on the bench was unsullied. During the early days of his residence in Louisville, Judge Fox was closely associated with George D. Prentice, Henry Watterson and Walter N. Haldeman and wrote many editorials for the Courier-Journal. He wielded a facile pen, delivering his message with clearness and forcefulness. He was a master of English diction and among his best known books are 'The Warranty in the Fire Insurance Contract," "The Woman Suffrage Movement," and "Shattered Idols, or John Marshall's Doctrine of Implied Powers." He was also the author of many essays and historical compositions, published in various magazines and papers. He had a good memory and his reading covered a wide range. He accumulated a valuable library and loved books, not as the bibliophile, for to him they brought messages from the great minds of the past. In the art of conversation Judge Fox was supreme. His acquaintance with the thoughts and sayings of others, coupled with his wide acquaintance and keen observation, gave to his social intercourse an unusual charm and force. In 1882 Judge Fox married Miss Mary Barton, to whom he was deeply attached . She was an ideal wife and mother, who died many years ago. She was a daughter of Professor Samuel B. and Frances Pierce (DuRuelle) Barton, the latter of whom was related to the Pitkin family and also to that of Frankilin Pierce, the fourteenth president of the United States. Samuel Barton was a member of the faculty of Centre College at Danville and united by ties of kinship with the Key family of Maryland. Judge Fox left five children. The oldest, Fontaine Fox, resides in New York city and has won renown as a cartoonist. He married Elizabeth Hinz, by whom he has two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Barton. Miss Frances B. Fox, is a well known writer. Barton Fox married Miss Elizabeth Boutelle, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and also lives in New York city. Mary Yandell is the wife of Adolph Reutlinger of Louisville, and the mother of two sons, Albert Fontaine and Kenneth Reutlinger. Jessie St. John is the youngest member of the family. Judge Fox was a member of the Presbyterian church and shaped his conduct by its teachings. He manifested a deep interest in the civic affairs and from 1868 until 1870 was a members of the Louisville council. In 1887 he was he candidate of the prohibition party for state treasurer and although defeated, received over forty thousand votes. He was an eloquent orator and his campaign speeches aroused great interest throughout the state. Judge Fox passed away April 9, 1926 in Louisville and lacked but two months of rounding out his ninetieth year. The beauty of his character and rare talents made him universally admired and esteemed. His professional associates paid a fine tribute to the memory of Judge Fox and the closing words of he memorial are as follows: "He was a gentleman of the old regime. None ever questioned his integrity. His reputation was at every point justified by the sterling character behind it. 'The record of a generous life runs like a vine around the memory of our dead, and every sweet, unselfish act is now a perfumed flower.'"
