THOMAS – Thomas, Grigsby, Ramey, King, Connelly, Porter 11592 Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume V – Battle – Perrin – Kniffin, 4th ed., 1886. BUTLER R. THOMAS was born in the vicinity of where he now lives, June 23, 1818, Benjamin Thomas, his paternal grandfather, was born in Virginia about 1762. He was united in marriage in his native State to Miss Margaret Grigsby, by whom he was the father of twelve children who grew to manhood and womanhood. In the year 1806 he immigrated to Kentucky, coming immediately to Nelson County, of which he remained a resident until his death, July 23, 1833. He opened a farm in the county of his adoption and became, for his day, one of its most prosperous and extensive farmers. Jacob Rainey, maternal grandfather of our subject, was also a native of Virginia, whence he immigrated to Kentucky in the early history of the State. His wife, Susanna Grigsby, was born in 1751. To their union three children were born. She died at the advanced age of ninety-four years. By a former marriage Mr. Ramey was the father of eight children. Redman G. Thomas, father of our subject, was born in Prince William County, Va., February 22, 1788, making him almost a man grown upon the occasion of his parents’ settlement in Kentucky. Three years later, March 15, 1809, he married Mrs. Nancy (Ramey) King. To their union these four children were born: Elizabeth (now Mrs. Alfred Connelly), Cordelia (deceased), Butler R. and Benjamin H. Mrs. Thomas was born November 20, 1782. Mr. Thomas followed agricultural pursuits all his life, meeting with good success. Butler R. Thomas, a native of Nelson County, remained with his parents until he was twenty-three years of age, receiving a common English education. He, like his ancestors, has always followed the vocation of farming, in which he has met with uniform success. He is the proprietor of a well improved farm of 240 acres, which is a model of neatness and of itself displays the systematic manner in which Mr. Thomas handles it. June 3, 1831, Miss Louisa P. Porter became his wife. To their union ten children were born, of whom these nine are now living: Alfred P., Benjamin H., John H., Martha and Mary (twins), Charles B., Redman G., Sallie B., and Louella. Mrs. Thomas was born January 20, 1821. She died March 18, 1870.

H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. Original Barren River Association of United Baptists. THOMAS DODSON was, for a number of years, one of the most highly esteemed ministers in this fraternity. He was of a large and respectable old Baptist family, of his name, in Wayne county, Ky., where he was born, Oct. 12, 1804. He was raised on a farm, and received a limited common school education. At the age of 18, he professed religion and united with Big Sinking church in his native county. In 1828, he was married to Martha Hurt, after which he moved to Russell county, where he united with Mt. Pleasant Church. Here he was ordained to the ministry, Dec. 4, 1847, by Wm. Smith, Moses Wilson, Thomas Wilson and Josiah Stephens. In this region, he preached, with constantly increasing usefulness, about 12 years. In December, 1859, he moved to Barren county, and became a member and the pastor of Poplar Spring church. To this and some other congregations, he ministered, about twenty years when he resigned on account of the encroachments of old age. Up to about the year 1870, he was identified with the Antimissionary Baptists, among whom he had been raised up. But, at that date, having changed his views, he, with Poplar Spring church, united with Liberty Association, after which he was a warm friend of missions. He finished his course with joy, July 10, 1881. Of his seven surviving children, six are Baptists, one of whom is a humble minister of the gospel.

The Colonel soon recognized in him an American soldier, when he gave the order “put that man under guard,” whereupon Thomas Stephenson was put in chains. In his old age Thomas Stephenson was removed to Madison County by his son Joseph, and is buried there. He was the father of a very large family, among whom were James, Joseph, John, Nathan, Nicholas, Thomas, Catherine (Patton, Slaven), Betsy and Nancy (Long). Joseph H.

With the history of progress in southeastern Kentucky the name of Henry Marvin Axline is inseparably associated and for nearly four decades Middlesboro has numbered him among its enterprising business men and valuable citizens. A son of Robert Henderson and Ellen (Meggs) Axline, he was born August 25, 1868, in Gratiot county, Michigan. He attended the public schools of Hardin county, Ohio, and completed his education in the Ohio Normal University at Ada. Mr. Axline came to Middlesboro in July, 1889, and entered the employ of the American Association, Limited, and the Middlesboro Town Company, which was an English syndicate largely responsible for the development of this part of the state. The corporation owned all the land and opened up the coal mines, also constructing railroad lines to facilitate the commercial and industrial growth of the region. In 1895 a reorganization was affected and the name was changed to the present style of the American Association, Inc., of which Mr. Axline was elected secretary in 1904. He has since acted in this capacity and is also serving as vice president, becoming the incumbent of that office in 1926. He is likewise one of the directors of the association and his earnest, systematic efforts and keen sagacity have been potent factors in his success. Mr. Axline was married September 30, 1892, to Miss June A. Gastineau, a daughter of G. W. and Mary (Ham) Gastineau, of Garrard county, Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Axline have become the parents of a son, Robert Owen, who was born June 7, 1893. Mr. Axline is affiliated with the Christian church and supports the candidates of the republican party.

H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. (Warren Co). JOHN MITCHELL BILLINGSLY united with the Union church in Warren county, under the ministry of O. H. Morrow. He was licensed to preach, in 1849, and ordained, about 1851. About 1856, he moved to Allen county, and united with Harmony church. He was well informed, possessed fair preaching gifts, and was a ready and pointed writer. But his fondness for controversy, his radical temper, and his bitter denunciation and sarcasm, rendered him unpopular, and prevented his being as useful as he might otherwise have been. When the civil War broke out, he was commissioned a captain of a company of home guards. In this position he is said to have been very tyrannical, and to have deported himself, otherwise, in a manner unbecoming a Christian. After the War, he was, with considerably difficulty, nominally restored to the fellowship of his church. Soon after this, he moved to Illinois, where it is hoped that age and experience have sobered down his fiery passions, and rendered his fine capabilities useful to the cause of Christ.

CHAMBERLAIN – Chamberlain, Branstetter, Douglas 11582 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, (Bourbon Co KY). J. M. B. CHAMBERLAIN, farmer and stock raiser, post-office Curryville. Among those who have long been identified with the advancement of Indian township, and deserving of notice in the history of the county, is the subject of this sketch. He is a native of Bourbon county, Kentucky, born November 14, 1819, the son of William and Mary A. (Branstetter) Chamberlain. He was the fourth child of a family of five children. When our subject was five years old his father died. In November, 1828, his mother came to Pike county, first settling in Ashley township. Our subject resided at home until 1844. His youth was spent in assisting in the work of the farm. He broke the first furrow on the old homestead in 1831. He received a limited education in the old log-cabin school house of those pioneer days. He was married February 1, 1844, to Rachael A. Branstetter, daughter of Peter Branstetter, Sr., who came to Pike county in 1823. This union has brought to them thirteen children: William P., Mary C., Susan E., James H., Matilda J., Arminta P., John F., Thomas W., Flavaius U. C., George J., Ulyssus Grant, Ida E., and Charley C. He moved on his present farm in 1844, which was then wild land, and which he has since improved in good manner. He first built a log-house, about eight rods from where he now lives, which burned down in 1855, when he built his present residence. His farm contains 340 acres of good land, 240 under fence and well improved, a good residence, barn, and out-buildings. In politics he was a Democrat until that party failed to elect Stephen A. Douglas. Since that time he has supported the Republican ticket. He was elected to the office of constable in 1848, and served four years, and has served twelve years as justice of the peace with credit to himself. In 1880 he was a candidate for county judge on the Republican ticket, but that party being in the minority he was not elected. He is a self-made mad. Starting without a dollar he has, by industry and economy, acquired a good home. He is ever willing to encourage whatever tends to advance education or religion.

William Reading (deceased, whose portrait in this work). Among the pioneers of Pike county, who by their own energy and strict attention to business won a high position in society, there are none more worthy of space in history than the subject of this sketch. He was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, October 9, 1792, where he was reared on a farm and educated in the subscription schools of the time. He was married January 11, 1816, to Miss Margaret Shawhan, a native of Bourbon county, Kentucky, born February 11, 1787. In 1820 he immigrated to Pike county, Missouri, where he settled in Buffalo township, on the farm where his youngest son (Lafayette) now lives. He purchased the claim of a man by the name of Yedder, and afterwards entered the land. He, from time to time, purchased other lands until he became one of the largest land-owners in the county, having a landed estate of over 2,000 acres. He was a man of liberal views, and by honest and upright dealing won a large circle of warm and true friends. After living in Pike county about fourteen years he persuaded his father and mother to leave their home in Kentucky and come and settle in this new and prosperous young county. George Reading, his father, was born December 8, 1761, and Nancy, the mother, was born November 25, 1771. Settling on a part of our subject’s farm, where he lived until the death of his wife, which occurred in 1849, he then went to Clark county, Missouri, where he died at a ripe old age. William and Margaret Reading were the parents of eight children, all of whom have grown up and held high positions in society. Probably no family in the county are held in higher esteem than the Reading family. He and his wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He always took an interest in educational matters, and gave his children all the advantages possible in that early day. His wife died in 1860, and our subject followed eight years later.

Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. HENRY RAY was born of poor parents, in the State of Mississippi, about 1833. In youth he professed conversion, and united with a Baptist church. He was at once deeply impressed with a sense of duty to preach the gospel; and, believing himself called of God to that work, he resolved to prepare himself for the solemn responsibility. In 1855, he came to Kentucky, and, although a stranger and destitute of money, entered Georgetown College. Using the strictest economy, teaching school during vacation, and borrowing some small sums of money from his brother, he remained in college, till June, 1858, when he graduated with the second honors of his class. He was soon afterwards called to the church at Maysville, Ky., where he labored acceptably, till the fall of 1860. He then returned to his native State, where he soon afterward married. During the War, he preached at various points in the Southern States. In 1865, he returned to Kentucky, and took charge of the church at Bowling Green. This church had suffered greatly during the Wear, and was in a sad state of confusion. Mr. Ray went diligently and prayerfully to work, and before the first of June of the following year, the scattered and dispirited membership had been collected, the schisms healed, and about fifty members had been received by Baptism. But the model young pastor had now finished his work. While attending the Southern Baptist Convention at Russellville, about the last of May, 1866, he was attacked by bilious fever. He returned home, and after about a week of great physical suffering, he went to receive his eternal reward.
