Edwin Hite Ferguson, deceased [photo], was for years one of the foremost business men of Louisville, his native city, where he established the Kentucky Refining Company and developed the second largest cottonseed oil refinery in the world. He was born on the site of the old Galt House in Louisville and was a son of John and Sarah Ferguson. He initial business experience was gained in a bank. While still a young man, however, he saw the possibilities of extracting oil from cottonseed and as a pioneer established the Kentucky Refining Company, which he developed into one of Louisville’s greatest industries, with branches throughout the world. The Louisville Soap Company was a subsidiary. At one time Mr. Ferguson was offered millions of dollars for his holdings in the Kentucky Refining Company. Adverse business conditions finally affected its prosperity, however, and he sold his interests in a reorganization plan. In 1898 Mr. Ferguson was married to Miss Sonia Fullerton Marfield, of Chillicothe, Ohio, where six generations of the bride’s family have made their home. They became parents of one daughter, Margaret Fullerton, now the wife of Captain Earl Elliott Major, who after retiring from the United States army became interested in the investment securities business in Louisville, being vice president of the firm of Block, Fetter & Trost. Mr. Ferguson was a charter member of the Pendennis Club and one of the first members of the Louisville Country Club and the Kentucky Jockey Club. He was also a consistent member of Christ Church cathedral, exemplifying high moral principles in his daily life. His death occurred at his home on Third street in Louisville on the 9th of May, 1924, when he was seventy-two years of age, and thus the city sustained the loss of one of the most prominent business men and most highly esteemed and lifelong residents.

Nelson Co KY. Andrew A. Williams. This outlines a sketch of one of the descendants of the first families who settled in Salt River township. His father, John Williams, was a native of Kentucky, and was born in Nelson county. In 1815 he emigrated to the state of Indiana, where, on the 18th day of February, 1818, our subject was born. During the same year the father immigrated to Missouri and settled one and one-half miles south of what is now Ashburn Station, in Salt River township, and here, in the dense forest, picked out a spot on which to erect a small log house, which should be his future home. He entered a tract of land consisting of some 500 acres, and then engaged in farming. In 1820, while at St. Louis, Missouri, on business, he was taken sick very suddenly, and died after a short illness. The maiden name of the mother of our subject was Rebecca McAllister. She came to Missouri with her husband and died in 1846, leaving four children living, three of whom were by her second husband, Canada Tryar, who died about the year 1831. Andrew A. was reared on the farm. His father dying in his infancy had much to do with changing his course. Having a mother and three sisters to support threw him wholly upon his own resources. Aside from a few acres of land left him by his father he carved out his own fortune, and now owns a good farm with a comfortable dwelling. In 1844 he was united in marriage to Miss C. Bailey, daughter of James Bailey. In 1855 she died, leaving two children, one of whom is still living, Rebecca J., who was married to Mr. Taylor. Mr. Williams was married to his present wife in 1858; they have one child, William Andrew. In politics Mr. W. is a staunch Democrat, believing in the old Jacksonian doctrine that the majority should rule. In 1844 he was elected to the office of justice of the peace, serving some three years.

JOHN ADAIR – Adair, Madison, Hall, Taylor, Wells, Burr, Shelby, Jackson, Logan, Desha, Butler 11305 Historical Sketches of Kentucky published by Lewis Collins, Maysville, Ky.; and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Adair Co. General John Adair, in honor of whom this county received its name, was born in South Carolina, in the year 1757. His character was formed in the trying times and admidst the thrilling incidents of the Revolution. At an early age, he entered the army as a volunteer, was made prisoner by the British, and as usual, treated with savage cruelty, having been thrown into prison and subjected to every species of insult and hardship that the ingenuity of his captors could devise. In 1786 he emigrated to Kentucky, and settled in Mercer county. In the border war which raged with so much fury on the north-western frontier, General (then Major,) Adair, was an active and efficient officer, and frequently engaged with the Indians. One incident of this nature merits a relation. On the sixth of November 1792, Major Adair, at the head of a detachment of mounted volunteers, from Kentucky, while encamped in the immediate vicinity of Ft. St. Clair, twenty-six miles south of Greenville, near where Eaton, the county seat of Preble county, Ohio, now stands, was suddenly and violently attacked by a large party of Indians, who rushed on the encampment with great fury. A bloody conflict ensued, during which Major Adair ordered Lieutenant Madison, with a small party to gain the right flank of the enemy, if possible, and at the same time gave an order for Lieutenant Hall to attack their left, but learning that the officer had been slain, the Major with about twenty-five of his men made the attack in person, with a view of sustaining Lieutenant Madison. The pressure of this movement caused the enemy to retire. They were driven about six hundred yards, through and beyond the American camp, where they made a stand and again fought desperately. At this juncture about sixty of the Indians made an effort to turn the right flank of the whites. Major Adair forseeing the consequences of this maneuver, found it necessary to order a retreat. That movement was effected with regularity, and as was expected, the Indians pursued them to their camp, where a halt was made, and another severe battle was fought, in which the Indians suffered severely, and were driven from the ground. In this affair six of the whites were killed, five wounded, and four missing. Among the wounded were Lieutenant (afterwards Governor) George Madison, and Colonel Richard Taylor, the father of the present Major General Zachary Taylor, the hero of Palo Alto, Monterey, Buena Vista, &c. The Indians on this occasion, were commanded by the celebrated Little Turtle. Some years afterwards, in 1805-6, when General Adair was Register of the land office in Frankfort, Captain William Wells, Indian agent, passed through that place, on his way to Washington city, attended by some Indians, among whom was the chief, Little Turtle. General Adair called on his old antagonist, and in the course of the conversation, the incident above related, being alluded to, Gen. Adair attributed his defeat to his having been taken by surprise. The Little Turtle immediately remarked with great pleasantness, “a good general is never taken by surprise.” In 1807, Major Adair’s popularity underwent a temporary obscuration from his supposed connection with the treasonable enterprise of Burr. His conduct and opinions became the subject of much speculation, and the public got to regard him with an eye of some suspicion. But it is now generally believed that General Adair’s course in that affair was predicated upon an opinion that Colonel Burr’s plans were approved by the government, which at that time contemplated a war with Spain. General Adair’s opinions and associations at that day, placed him with the federal party, among whom he stood deservedly high. In the campaign of 1813 he accompanied Governor Shelby into Canada, as an aid, and was present in that capacity at the battle of the Thames. His conduct during this campaign was such as to draw from his superior officers an expression of their approbation, and his name was honorably mentioned in the report to the war department. Governor Shelby afterwards conferred upon him the appointment of adjutant general of the Kentucky troops, with the brevet rank of brigadier general, in which character he commanded the Kentuckians in the glorious battle of New Orleans. The acrimonious controversy between him and General Jackson, growing out of the imputations cast by the latter on the conduct of the Kentucky troops on that eventful day, is fresh in the recollection of all. In 1820, he was elected governor of Kentucky, in opposition to Judge Logan, Governor Desha, and Colonel Butler. He was often a member of the State legislature, and on several occasions was speaker of that body. In 1805 [sic] he was elected to the senate of the United States from Kentucky, for the term of one year. In 1831 he was elected to congress, and served in the house of representatives from 1831 to 1833, inclusive. General Adair, in all the situations, military and civil, to which he was elevated by his countrymen, discharged his duties in such a manner as to command the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens. He was a brave soldier, an active, vigilant and efficient officer – a politician of sound principles and enlarged views, and an ardent patriot. Among the early pioneers of Kentucky, he deservedly occupies a prominent place and a high rank. He died on the 19th of May, 1849, at the advanced age of 83 years.

Mercer Co. HENRY PLUMMER, M. D., practicing physician and surgeon, was born May 14, 1837, in Fleming County, Ky. His father, Benjamin Plummer, a native of Maryland and born June 15, 1793, was a farmer and miller. He was brought by his father to what is now Mason County, Ky., when only eighteen months old, and when about ten years old to Fleming County. The early part of his life was spent in agricultural pursuits, afterward in the saw and grist-milling business; and during the war he lost most of his property, his water wheel, worth $5,000, being destroyed by fire, the work of Federal troops. On August 15, 1816, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary M. Seever, a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Myers) Seever, natives of Pennsylvania. By this marriage Benjamin Plummer became the father of nine children: Matilda, wife of W. B. Evans, a farmer of Fleming County; James, who died in Holt County, Mo.; Julia A. (died in 1860 in the State of Ohio), wife of Rev. W. G. Montgomery, minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who lives in Putnam County, Ohio; John, who died in Navarro County, Tex., in 1883; Amanda, wife of Thomas J. Crain, of Missouri (died in 1870); William, county judge of Fleming County and a practicing attorney (died in 1878); Henry, and Franklin, a master mechanic of the railroad shops in Springfield, Mo., of whom only Dr. Plummer and Franklin are now living. Benjamin Plummer, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died January 6, 1866, and his wife, who was also a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died May 22, 1867. James Plummer, the grandfather of Dr. Plummer, was born in Maryland, likewise his wife, who before marriage was Miss Dorcas Cash. He immigrated to Mason County, Ky., in 1795, and his almost sole occupation was hunting. As the country became settled he moved farther away in the pursuit of his favorite sport, so he soon removed to Fleming County, where he and his wife are buried. The Plummer family are of English origin and Dr. Plummer’s father, Benjamin Plummer, was a veteran of the war of 1812, serving under General Wilkinson in his campaign and in Capt. Matthew’s company, receiving a wound at Dayton, Ohio (which then contained but one house), which kept him confined to his bed an entire winter. Dr. Plummer received an ordinary school education, and in his twenty-first year began the study of medicine under Dr. R. P. Samuel, of Poplar Plains, Fleming County, and in the fall of 1859 attended his first course of lectures at the Medical College of Ohio, at Cincinnati. He graduated from that institution in the spring of 1861, and enlisted in Capt. Ben Desha’s company (Confederate Infantry). He was the medical officer of the company and remained in the hospital at Bowling Green until February, 1862, when, on retreat, he was assigned to Maj. Kelly’s Arkansas battalion as assistant surgeon. He held this position until after the battle of Shiloh, when he became assistant surgeon of the Eighth Arkansas Regiment, and after the battle of Perryville was promoted to surgeon of the Twenty-third Tennessee, until the battle of Chickamauga, when he was transferred to the Thirty-second and Fifty-eighth Consolidated Alabama Regiments, remaining with them until the surrender of Gen. J. E. Johnston. He then located at Brandon, Warren Co., Miss., and practiced medicine two years. Dr. Plummer then returned to Kentucky, locating at Eldorado, Mercer County, where he practiced three years, removing to Harrodsburg. On October 3, 1867, he married Miss Elizabeth Mills, the daughter of Benjamin Mills and Jane (O’Conner) Mills, the former a native of New York, the latter of Dunda, Ireland. Maj. Mills was in command of Harper’s Ferry as chief armory officer, when it was captured by the notorious John Brown. Three years after his marriage Dr. Plummer removed to Poplar Plains, in Fleming County, where he practiced three years, returning again to Harrodsburg, which since has been his home. To the marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Plummer have been born six children: William, died in infancy; Virginia Morton, died at the age of six months; Lutie Mills, died age two years; Jennie Mae, now living in her twelfth year; Bessie Moore, in her eighth year, and Benjamin Dawson, in his sixth year. Dr. and Mrs. Plummer are members of the Southern Presbyterian Church, and Dr. Plummer is a Democrat. In 1883 he was president of the Central Kentucky Medical Association.

H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. ROBERT WILLIAMS was one of the ablest and most useful preachers that have labored in Western Kentucky. He was born near Petersburg, Va., Nov. 12, 1811. His parents moved to Kentucky and settled near Franklin in Simpson county, in 1813. Here he grew to manhood, receiving barely the rudiments of an English education. He was converted to Christ under the ministry of Robert T. Anderson, and was baptized into the fellowship of Lake Spring church in Simpson county, in January, 1833. During the next year he was licensed to preach, and was ordained to the ministry and called to the pastoral care of Lake Spring church, in 1835. After laboring here about two years, he moved to Robertson county, Tenn., and took charge of Harmony church. He was also called to Greysville church in the same county, and to Lebanon and Mt. Zion churches, both in Todd county, Kentucky. With some changes of pastoral relation, he labored in this field twenty-one years; and it is probably that no minister in Bethel Association did more in building up the cause of Christ, during that period. He was a hard worker, and a good student, and became a well informed and able preacher. Both willing and able to defend the doctrine he preached, he did not hesitate to engage in public debate, when it appeared to him that the cause of truth demanded it. In 1858, he moved to McCracken county, Ky., and gave his membership to Spring Bayou church. Here he soon attained the same eminence in West Union Association, that he had reached in Bethel. In this field, he was pastor of several churches, and was moderator of the Association several successive years; but he gave much of his strength to evangelizing, not only within the bounds of West Union Association, but extending his labors into Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. About 1875, he was attacked by bronchitis, from which he suffered much, during two winters, and which greatly impaired his capacity for labor. While on a visit to his son, Prof. A. F. Williams, in Elkton, Ky., he was taken ill, and on the twelfth of May, 1877, departed to give an account of his stewardship.
