ELIZABETH JACKSON UNSELL - Unsell 11212 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, pp. 436-7. Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson Unsell. This lady was born in Hartford, Ohio county, Kentucky, on September 27, 1790, and hence is now almost ninety-three years of age. She as married to James Unsell in Greenville, Muhlenburg county, Kentucky, on the 11th day of October, 1811. With her husband and family she removed to Pike county in the month of October, 1818, and settled in Peno township, and upon the place where she still continues to reside. She raised a family of ten children, seven boys and three girls, five of whom, three boys and two girls are still living. She united with the Baptist Church early in life, and was one of the constituting members of the old Peno Baptist Church, one among the first religious congregations organized in Pike county. Mrs. Unsell has always been possessed of remarkable energy and industry, and to these must be attributed the vigorous health which she has so long enjoyed. She also has a will of her own and no ordinary obstacles have ever been permitted to interpose between her and that which she desired to accomplish. These qualities pre-eminently fitted her for her position in life, and contributed no little to the help of a husband who was compelled to rely in some measure upon her affectionate assistance. When the state of Missouri was yet just a territory and when but few settlers had built their cabins within the present limits of Pike county, she came with her husband, trusting in his judgment to advance their own and their children’s interests, and determined to yield a ready and cheerful assistance in forwarding the plans over which they had doubtless so frequently consulted. She became his counselor in devising ways and means for bettering their financial condition, and his helper in executing the plans which they had together matured. Her education at the spinning wheel and the hand-loom had put it within her power to become useful in her new field of life, while her home training had impressed upon her young mind the lesson that her duty to her family implied a willing disposition to support and sustain the efforts of her husband. After many years of united labor in preparing the way and providing means for the comfort and happiness of their children, her husband died, and Mrs. Unsell was left alone. During her widowhood she has continued to reside on the old farm, where most of her life has been spent, and where she was always active in the interests of those she loved. Her son, Henry Unsell, lives in the same yard and looks carefully after all her wants. Mrs. Unsell, thought a little childish, is still quite active and energetic, doing her own housework and even milking a cow every night and morning. She retains her memory and the use of her mental facilities in a remarkable degree for one of her years. She is fond of conversation and takes great interest in the welfare of her neighbors. She reads a great deal, and converses well upon both religious and political topics. She is a woman of decided views upon all questions of public interest, and discusses with considerable ability the great questions that agitate the public mind. With the health which she at this time enjoys, and the degree of strength which she appears to possess, her chances seem good for living an hundred years. May her days be as long as her health will permit her to enjoy them, and may her end be as calm and peaceful as her life has been active and useful.

DAVID CALDWELL – Caldwell, Brice, McMurtry, Campbell, Bryan, Allison, Byer, Baxter, Carroll, Griffiths, Henry, Scott, Shy, Stark, Templeton, Ashland, Garnett 11209 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, pp. 781-2. Hon. David Caldwell, grandfather of David L. Caldwell, was born September 10, 1768, and moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky, where he married Sarah Brice, February 16, 1791, and located in Harrison county near Licking River, and raised a large family. Joseph Caldwell, their son, was born February 1, 1806, and married Mary Bryan McMurtry, daughter of James McMurtry, December 6, 1831. James McMurtry was born in Virginia, January 14, 1773, and his parents, Joseph and Rosannah Campbell McMurtry, settled near Lexington, Kentucky, when James was a small boy. James McMurtry married Nancy, daughter of Samuel and Mary Bryan, who emigrated from North Carolina at an early date. Soon after their marriage James and Nancy McMurtry located near Twin Creek, in Harrison county, where he lived more than fifty years, raising a large family. He was a man of great force of character. Reverencing God and dealing justly, he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his neighbors, and died at the advanced age of eighty years. His daughter, Mary Bryan, who married Joseph Caldwell, was born September 21, 1806. In 1832 Joseph and Mary B. Caldwell moved to Pike county, Missouri. He was a man of integrity, fair intelligence, and great energy, and she was a pure, noble, Christian woman. They were members of the Baptist Church at Noix Creek, and taught their children to love God and obey the commandments. The California gold excitement attracted enterprising men from the states, and many good men left Pike county for the gold fields never to return. Joseph Caldwell crossed the plains in 1849 and exerted all his energies in gold hunting. He met many disappointments and died a poor man at Kernville, California, December 30, 1871. His wife, daughter, and a son, Joseph S., went to California. Joseph S. died November 12, 1868. Mary B. Caldwell died July 24, 1870, about seventeen months prior to her husband’s death. Mary E. Caldwell married John S. Butler, and they now reside in Kernville, California. David L. Caldwell, son of Joseph and Mary B. Caldwell, was born on Grassy Creek, Pike county, Missouri, April 23, 1838, and received a common education. At an early age he taught district school, and in 1856 he was employed to teach in the Caldwell district, on Buffalo, and continued there for several years, forming friendships among the Allisons, Byers, Baxters, Carrolls, Griffiths, Henrys, Scotts, Shys, Starks, Templetons, and others, to which he always refers with pleasure. In August, 1859, he was elected clerk of the Pine county court and moved to Bowling Green and took charge of the office January 1, 1860, In 1863 he was clerk of probate, resigning at the close of the year. During the civil war he was a firm unionist, but disapproving the proscriptive features of the new constitution, he as retired from the county clerk’s office, May 1, 1865, and having been previously admitted to the bar, he began practice in Bowling Green. In November, 1866, after an exciting canvas, he was elected a member of the House of Representatives and was re-elected in November, 1868. In the Twenty-fourth General Assembly he favored a convention of delegates from all the states for the purpose of revising the United States Constitution and reconstructing the government on a just and permanent basis, but the proposition did not meet with support, the assembly ratifying the fourteenth amendment. The Twenty-fifth General Assembly ratified the fourteenth amendment, his vote being recorded in the negative, in deference to the will of his constituents, maintaining that a representative of the people should faithfully express the known will of the majority or resign. He advised the people to accept the amendment in good faith, as a logical result of the war. In June, 1868, he married Eliza, eldest daughter of Andrew and Martha Ashland Garnett, of Harrison county, Kentucky, who is an intelligent, faithful wife. In 1871 he bought the press and material to establish the Pike County Post, a newspaper devoted to the interests of the county seat and general interests of the county. In February, 1873, he was elected to fill a vacancy in the office of judge of probate, and was re-elected in 1874 and again in 1878, without opposition. He is a member of the Masonic order and of the Christian Church, and has a simple trust, “Acquired beside a mother’s knee; All is of God that is, and is to be; And God is good.” He has been identified with the public-spirited men of the county for the last twenty-three years, earnestly advocating public education, encouraging the construction of gravel roads and railroads, and aiding other enterprises looking for the material, intellectual, and moral advancement of the people of Pike county.

Volume IV Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928. Boyd Co. GEORGE FREDERICK GALLUP, an able attorney, represents the third generation of the family in Cattlettsburg, in which place his life has been spent, and he worthily bears a name that has been synonymous with the highest ideals in Kentucky’s citizenship. His grandfather, George W. Gallup, was a brigadier general in the Union army and subsequently engaged in the practice of law and in railroad building. The parents of George F. Gallup were Gideon Frederick and Jeannette Thornhill (Atkinson) Gallup, the former a pioneer merchant of Cattlesburg, who also became well known as a railroad contractor. George F. Gallup was born June 10, 1897, and after the completion of his high school course matriculated in the University of Kentucky. He enlisted in the United States Marine and was a member of the Fourth Regiment during the war, serving in Santo Domingo, O. R. He was graduated with the class of 1922, receiving the degree of LL. B., and in the same year was admitted to the bar. He at once entered upon the work of his profession in Cattlettsburg and in the intervening period has established a remunerative practice.

POLLY LITTLE CROW – Crow, Staley #11204: Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, pp 439-440. MRS. POLLY LITTLE CROW. This well know and highly esteemed old lady was born in Kentucky, on January 28, 1792. She was raised near Perryville, in Mercer County, now called Boyle, and was married to Mr. Crow about the time she attained to womanhood. For some time after her marriage she remained in Kentucky, and about the year 1826 she removed with her husband and such part of her family as there were at that time to Missouri, and settled in Boone county, and after a residence there of about one year they came to Pike county and located on a farm southeast of Ashley and at but a small remove from that village where she has ever since continued to reside. After living with her husband long enough to celebrate their golden wedding he died, about seven years ago, since which time Mrs. Crow has lived with her daughter, Mrs. Myrian Staley, on the old homestead. Mrs. Crow was the mother of eight children, two sons and six daughters, two of whom, the eldest and the youngest, both daughters, are now dead. Mrs. Crow is a lady of more than ordinary intelligence, and even at her advanced age converses well upon the common topics of the day. She was well educated for the times in which she was raised, and prudently availed herself of the advantages, which her father was able to offer her. She was also well skilled in the duties of the housewife, and when a girl, besides being a good cook and familiar with the duties usually taught the young women of that period, she acquired the art of cutting by measure, and through this knowledge became specially useful to both her father’s family and her own. Her mind is but little impaired, and at the great age of more than ninety years she enjoys remarkably good health, sometimes complaining of a cold or other slight indisposition, but very seldom being confined to her bed even for a day. A feeling of loneliness sometimes oppresses her as she takes a retrospect of her life and finds that as many of those she had long known and dearly loved have passed away. About two years ago she lost a friend whose death she will never cease to mourn. This was her girlhood’s friend and the wife of her husband’s brother. They had been reared together and before either had taken upon themselves the duties and responsibilities of wifehood they had been accustomed to share each others confidence and to be made familiar with each other’s secrets. Destiny cast their lots in the same new country, in the same community, and they were again neighbors, each with the duties of a mother and the responsibilities of a growing family. A combination of circumstances naturally transpired to bind them even closer to each other than ever before. For years they lived in the relation of friends, neighbors, and kinfolks, each encouraging and assisting the other and furnishing for one another such social enjoyment as neither could find elsewhere. As they grew old together, their children affectionately provided for their enjoyment, and the birthday of each was always celebrated, the other being the first and most honored guest. One of them has fallen away from the circle of loved ones whose endeavors had long been to make her life joyous and happy; the other is well prepared for the change, and is, without complaining, patiently awaiting the final summons. Since about the time of her marriage, Mrs. Crow has been a consistent member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and one of the first congregations of this religious denomination ever organized in Pike county was constituted at her husband’s house. The faith of her early womanhood sustains her in her old age, and no fears that her trust is in vain can ever disturb her assurance of a blissful hereafter.

NANCY BRANDON – Brandon, Watson, O’Neil #11203: Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mill and Company, 1883, pp. 435-6. Woodford Co. MRS. NANCY BRANDON. This estimable old lady was born in Woodford county, Kentucky, on the 16th day of May, 1793. Her parents removed to this county when it was embraced within the limits of St. Charles. They came perhaps as early as 1809 or 1810, and made up one of the nineteen families that went into Old Buffalo Fort to protect themselves from the Indians during the War of 1812. It was in this fort that she was wooed and won by Mr. Brandon, a soldier of that war and then encamped at the fort with his company in order to protect the settlers from the tomahawk and the scalping knife of the treacherous savage. A Mr. Watson, who was neither preacher nor justice of the peace, officiated in the celebration of their nuptials. But neither the sanctity of the gospel nor the authority of the law could have made more happy the lives of this devoted couple. They loved each other and their pledges of affection, made in that old fort in the presence of their friends and fellow prisoners, and almost within hearing of the stealthy tread of the skirmishing Indian, were sacredly kept during a long series of years. The circumstances connected with this marriage must have contributed to make it peculiarly impressive. Within the walls of the fort the young husband was vowing protection to a confiding maiden; without the wily savage was planning schemes of captivity and death. To-day he might press to his bosom his new-made bride; to-morrow he must leave her to battle with the foe. The shades of night might bring him to the fort and the arms of her he loved, or they might envelop his corpse, slain by the bullets of the ambushed enemy. But fortune favors the brave, and the nineteen families so long cooped up in the old fort at Buffalo were at last relieved. The war soon ended, and the Indian, no longer hostile, sought the settler’s cabin not as an enemy but as a friend; not seeking scalps but begging bread. Mr. and Mrs. Brandon long lived together and enjoyed more keenly their affection and happiness from the hardships and anxieties which they had before endured. Mrs. Brandon remembers distinctly the O’Neil murder by the Indians, narrated in another portion of this work. She lived in stirring times, but maintained a brave heart and trusted in the ultimate success of her people’s cause. She is still living, and delights to relate some of the thrilling incidents connected with the early settlement of the county. For many years she has been a widow, but from her own great sorrow she has found much relief in administering to the comforts of others. She is now in her ninetieth year and has about or near her four generations of descendants. She is mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother, with the prospect of some years of life yet before her. She has always been a very active and energetic woman, and to her industry and perseverance much of the vigorous health so long enjoyed must be attributed. Well has she performed her part in the great battle of life, and when the end shall at last come may it be as peaceful as we have reason to believe her destiny will be glorious.
