    1. [KYBIOS] MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU - "A CHRISTMAS WEDDING"
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. Friends - every year on my KYRESEARCH list, I spin a tale of life in the olden times - my Christmas gift to the readers. I thought you might enjoy reading the story too - Merry Christmas! Sandi The winter was unusually brutal in 1850. The snow had been building day after day with many of the old-timers saying that they hadn’t heard of such an eternal winter like this since that awful winter when General Washington was leading his troops. The winds howled like a woman screaming in the pain of childbirth. The little country schools had been closed down for a week now; no loving parent could endure the thought of their children trudging the paths through the woods for five miles. Services had been discontinued at church as there was no way to block the cold winds from seeping through the missing chink Fathers were thankful they had laid up an extra stock of firewood and was kept busy hauling wood in from the wood shelter to keep the fire blazing. Mothers were mentally counting how many jars of preserves were left; if there was enough smoked meat to last out the storm and worrying about their new baby who was bundled in her little crib as close to the fireplace as would be safe. And, Christmas was a few days away. Johnnie and Sarah were playing make-believe games before the fireplace, unaware of all the dangers of being stranded so far from their neighbors. Why did Susan plan her marriage on Christmas Day? Susan, age 16, had fallen in love so early in life with Robert, son of their nearest neighbors five miles away. He came from a good family; Robert Sr and Susanne Peterson were both hard-working, God-fearing people who had moved from Virginia before the snows flew last winter. Robert Jr. was 18, strong of back, totally dedicated to Susan and it was said he was studying with a lawyer in Pleasantville, an elderly man named Mr. Moneyham who was about to retire. Yes, Robert would make a fine husband for their Susan He had already saved money enough to buy a piece of land from his father and had spent every spare minute clearing the land, building a cabin and digging out the soil with a borrowed team of oxen in order to plant crops comes spring. But, how would family be able to come for the Christmas wedding? Robert and Susan had already been to town to get their marriage license. It had been predicted that this nor’easter was coming in. Susan’s father William had hand-written a consent for her marriage since she was underage. Two friends of the family had posted bond, one being her uncle George; the fee was mighty high for Robert to come up with by himself. He had dug through every hiding place where he kept his meager savings to come up with $50 saved back from his small tobacco crop. Thankfully, he had no intention of deserting Susan; he certainly didn’t have a wife already and he’d never gotten into any trouble before. Except perhaps the time when a mere 13 years old and he had gotten into trouble at school for not coming in from play time when Miss Spinster rang the school bell. So his money would be safe and used to finish the cabin. Susan’s mother, Isabelle (named for her grandmother), knew that things would work out somehow and continued cutting out a hand-drawn pattern for a wedding dress for Susan. No fancy frills would decorate this special dress, but it would be made with love. Tears spilled over as she thought of Susan’s childhood days. Inquisitive, a book reader, a lover of every one of God’s creatures, a gentle girl but with a tomboy’s ambition. It seemed like yesterday when Susan would run into the cabin calling “Mama, come see what I found!” Now she was ready to embark on a life of her own, so young, but wise beyond her years. She’d learned to cook as a young child; she could knead bread, milk the cows, make the spinning wheel hum; a good catch she was! Late that night, the younger children were tucked into their beds in the loft; William had just finished a straw mattress for each of them and stretched ropes back and forth between the bed frame to hold the mattress firm. Quilts dating back two or more generations were over them and they dreamed of Christmas; not much interested in the wedding! Baby Rachel had been fed and rocked to sleep by Isabelle; she was warm by the fire, but not close enough for a spark to reach the crib. Only William, Isabell and Susan remained awake and Susan was stifling a yawn. They had plans to make for the wedding, and for Christmas. The cabin was small and so not many people would be coming to the nuptials. This was Parson Brown’s week to preach had there been any services scheduled, so he had promised to come by the cabin and unite Susan and Robert in holy matrimony. Robert’s parents would be there; Angela Downing, a dear friend of Susan’s, would be there as her witness and Robert’s brother John. With the children, that would make ten people. It would be close, but with a little shifting of the table and the two chairs, they could do it. If it quit snowing! Early next morning, William braved the snow drifts and, after feeding the cows and seeing that they were protected the best they could; he walked a ways into the timber and cut down branches of a pine tree. He laid each bough carefully on the hand-made sled he’d brought with him and pulled off all the pine cones he could find that hadn’t fallen into the snow. Slowly he made his way back to the cabin, trying to walk in his own footsteps lest he take a wrong turn and be lost. The decorating would be done that evening as they drank some chicory tea. There would be no tree this year, most settlers didn’t have the room for fancy trees so they made do the best they could. The boughs were tied along the walls with the pine cones fastened here and there. The younger children liked the next thing; Papa brought out the “magic corn” and for the next few minutes all that could be heard was the popping from the fireplace in the covered pan. Only the parents could hold on to the handle, it became a little hot for little hands. Mama brought out some of her precious thread left over from the wedding dress and Johnnie and Sarah were instructed how to thread the popcorn with one of Mama’s needles. Soon long strings of popcorn hung along the walls, woven in and out of the boughs. Papa had also found some wild berries frozen to a tree and picked them also. A little more thread and a streamer of little red berries shone out through the boughs and popcorn. Paper was hard to find in 1850. The ragman hadn’t brought many old rags and clothes to be turned into paper this year, so everything was written on the tiniest scraps of paper available. The children wanted to decorate some more so Isabelle looked and looked and found a few pages of a magazine that she had found outside of the mercantile. It had some bright colors on it so she helped the children make a few paper decorations to go on the wall. Tomorrow, the day before the wedding, the cooking would start! The day woke drear, cold … and still snowing. Susan’s heart was sad; not only would the children be disappointed if Christmas didn’t arrive on schedule, but Susan’s wedding day might have to be postponed. Isabelle however was cheerfully getting organized for the big meal. She had set out her best dishes, chipped though they may be from many miles bouncing along in a wagon on the way to Pleasantville from Virginia. No flowers from the garden would grace the table this year, but she had found some small old decorations from her parents and grandparents to add a little brightness to the room. Robert’s mother was to bring some food with them, if they could get the buggy through the drifts; Isabelle was preparing wild turkey, cornbread, beans canned from last year’s garden. She knew Robert’s mother was baking a cake for the bride and groom. The children braved the elements long enough to gather some snow to be made into snow ice cream. Everything was ready for the grand celebration tomorrow – perhaps. Christmas Day, miracle of all miracles, broke with a glorious sunrise and clear blue skies. The turkey was cooking over the fireplace and the entire cabin smelled of spices. Isabelle had taken some of her hand-made candles flavored with honeysuckle and roses and put them on the table to be lit at the appropriate time. Susan was nervously pacing back and forth in the small cabin, dressed in her finest homespun dress. And they waited. Father kept going outside to be sure the path to the cabin was clear. He had arisen early this morning and in the bitter cold, shoveled a path wide enough for the wagons. Robert and his family arrived some time later; Robert decked out in his finest homemade janes with a white shirt and suspenders. He joined Susan in pacing back and forth. Everyone was here, except Parson Brown and Susan’s friend Angela. The Parson had a difficult course to take; he had to cross a river on horseback. Praying that the ice would hold, he would have to guide his horse carefully, each step safely taken a prayer of thanks was issued. It was growing toward evening when the sounds of neighing was heard outside the cabin. Everyone inside rushed to the door at the same time and Papa threw it open. There stood Parson Brown, so cold that his long white beard glistened with ice. But he stood proud, his Bible in his hand. He was rushed inside to thaw out before proceeding with the ceremony; the food by then well cooked. Angela was no where to be seen and the family realized that her parents would not let her embark on such a dangerous trip with the paths not cleared. But Parson Brown allowed as much that there were enough adults present to proceed with the ceremony. Holding hands in front of the fireplace, Susan and Robert Jr. pledged their troth to each other and became husband and wife. The plans for a cabin finishing would have to be delayed until the temperatures rose a few more degrees. Robert had finished most of their future home in the fall, with only a few more things to be done. But thankfully, for a couple of nights they took over the loft at Robert’s house as they had no other children at home. Thankfully, the snows receded and the cabin was soon finished. As Robert and Susan walked through the door of their new home, another generation of Kentucky pioneers set forth to make their mark in the world. Robert soon became a noted Kentucky lawyer and represented the Commonwealth ably in both the House and Senate. Susan continued her reading while caring for five children of her own and soon became a school teacher. And the pioneer spirit lived on. © Copyright 18 Dec 2008, Sandra K.

He remained there about two years and then came west to his father, who was married, the second time, to Miss Lucy H. Winn, of Kentucky, who was the mother of the lamented Dr. Reynolds. Our subject was educated in the schools of Bowling Green; when about grown to manhood, in 1844, he engaged in the mercantile business, which he followed successfully until 1870, when he retired to his farm in 1875, where he lives in a large and stately brick mansion, surrounded with all the comforts and luxuries of life. He was married in 1844 to Miss Louisiana, daughter of Joseph H. Pugh, Esq. They have seven children, three of whom are living: Harriett, Lucy and Medodra.

Clifford, Clarksville, was born July 9, 1817, in Logan county, Kentucky. His parents were poor people, and to better their condition they moved to Missouri in 1825, settling on Gwinn’s Creek, in this county. On the 6th day of August, 1833, he moved to Clarksville. In 1838 Captain Clifford, then just of age, went as first clerk on the steamer Astoria, in the Missouri River trade. In 1840 he assumed command of the Shawnee, and run the boat on the Missouri River. Afterwards he built the steamer Julia Chanteau, and commanded her in the St. Louis and New Orleans trade. In 1844 he quit the river and went on his farm near this city. Two years later, in 1846, he began merchandising in the city of Clarksville, and continued the business until 1857, when he was elected cashier of the Louisiana Branch Bank of the State of Missouri, then being established. The institution was very successfully managed by Captain Clifford for four years, when, by reason of too close application to business, his health became impaired, and he again took up his residence on his farm, near the city. Afterward he again engaged here in the mercantile business, until 1868; he then established the present banking house of C. P. Clifford & Co., retiring from active in 1871.

Volume IV Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928. Boyd Co. GEORGE FDEDERICK GALLUP. George Frederick Gallup, an able attorney, represents the third generation of the family in Cattlesburg, 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 Jeanette Thornhill (Atkinson) Gallup, the former a pioneer merchant of Catlettsburg, 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 Marines 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.

    3. NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. This biography was provided by Teddy (Gray) Brock on our list. 11186 FRANKLIN CO – DR. RICHARD T. HAWKINS – Hawkins, Bankhead, Morris, Hopkins, Frazier, Patton #11186: Pike County, Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa Mills and Company, 1883, pp. 413-415. Franklin Co. DR. RICHARD T. HAWKINS was born in Franklin county, Kentucky, on May 11, 1816. When but a child his father removed to Woodford county, and here the subject of our sketch was reared. After receiving an ordinary English education, he commenced the study of medicine, and finally graduated at Transylvania University, at Lexington, Kentucky, in March, 1838, and four days after receiving his diploma he started to Mississippi, and settled at DeKalb, in Kemper county, where, however, he remained but a few months, as he got back to Kentucky about the first of August of the same year. In the October following Dr. Hawkins moved to Missouri, and about the 22d or 23d of that month he settled at Paynesville, where he remained, actively at work, until 1849, when he removed to the Lost Creek neighborhood, but only stayed there one year, when he again returned to Paynesville. After remaining at Paynesville for many years Dr. Hawkins went to Prairieville, but remained only a short time, comparatively, when he again went back to his first love, so to say, and with Dr. Bankhead, his old partner, renewed the practice of his profession in his chosen field and among his old friends. He continued at Paynesville until about the year 1879, when he removed to Ellsberry, where he at present resides. Dr. Hawkins was twice married; first to Mary Morris Hopkins, of New Troy, Missouri, on the 11th day of April, 1839, by whom he had six children; and having lost his wife on April 4, 1857, and after remaining a widower for about twelve years he was again married, to Mrs. Sallie E. Frazier, daughter of the late Thos. D. Patton, on the 25th of July, 1863. Three children blessed this union, whom the affectionate wife and devoted mother was not spared to raise. Mrs. Hawkins died May 18, 1875, and again her husband, now in advanced life, was left alone. As a physician Dr. Hawkins has had few, if any superiors in the county; as a man he has given the energies of a long and useful life for the good of the public; and as a philanthropist, without claiming to be one, he has devoted his life mostly to the poor of Pike and Lincoln counties. He has probably ridden more miles than any man in northeast Missouri; he has carried joy to the palace of the rich, and food as well as medicine to the cottage of the poor. If he has sat beside the bed of the wealth invalid, and feasted at his table, so also has he nursed the indigent patient and even prepared for them the food which his own generosity had supplied. As to the wealth of this would he would be accounted poor; poorer than when he first entered upon a practice, that, had he to-day its legitimate proceeds, would make him wealthy. He has never valued money for its own sake, but for the good he might accomplish with it; hence, he has been a poor collector, while always ready to divide his last dollar with a friend, or those whose necessities appeared to be greater than his own. Among his professional brethren Dr. Hawkins is held in the highest esteem, and his opinion upon any subject connected with the practice of the country is regarded as worthy of the greatest consideration. To honor such a man while living is the greatest delight of those who have known him longest and best, and when he shall have passed away, as soon he must, another and an abler pen can, with more freedom, chronicle those exhaulted [sic] virtues that must forever be perpetuated.

    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. NOTE: I have no connection, no further information and am not seeking additional information. This biography was provided by Teddy (Gray) Brock on our list. 11185 FLEMING CO – ROLLIE MILTON GRAY – Gray, Hawkins, Aikin, Harmon, Frank #11185: PORTLAND, OREGON ITS HISTORY AND BUILDERS By JOSEPH GASTON 1911 VOLUME II. Fleming Co. ROLLIE MILTON GRAY In the clothing establishment of which Rollie Milton Gray is proprietor there is a spirit dominant beyond the mere acquisition of wealth and it finds its manifestation in the enthusiastic loyalty of employees to employer, in the straightforward methods of the house and in the friendly feeling of its patrons, and in the conduct of his enterprise he is proving that success and an honored name may be won simultaneously. Mr. Gray was born in Jefferson county, Kansas, January 14, 1864, and is a son of Madison Harrison Gray, a schoolmaster and farmer, whose father came from Edinburgh, Scotland, to the new world in his childhood days. The maternal grandfather of our subject was of English birth and, like the founder of the Gray family in America, settled in this land about a century and a quarter ago. Mr. Gray was a slave owner in Fleming county, Kentucky, while Mr. Hawkins was a strong Union and anti-slavery man. They lived on adjoining plantations and, notwithstanding their difference of opinions, they were always good friends during the period of more than fifty years when they lived side by side. Both died when more than ninety years of age. The daughter of Mr. Hawkins, America Howe Hawkins, became the wife of Madison H. Gray. Both were natives of Fleming county, Kentucky, whence they removed to Kansas. R. M. Gray acquired his education in the common schools and in country districts of Kentucky between the ages of six and nine years. He then accompanied his parents on their removal to Atchison, Kansas, after which he was bound out for a year in Missouri to a man by the name of Allison, who lived on a farm just across the river from Atchison. At the end of that time the Gray family located on a farm in Atchison county, Kansas, where during the winter season the son attended school for two terms. This ended his school days, when he was but twelve years of age, but in the school of experience he has learned many valuable and practical lessons, which have constituted important factors in his later progress and success. For five years after leaving school his days were spent in the work of the farm, and after attaining the age of seventeen years he worked for a time in the coal mines at Carbondale in the mining region of Pittsburg, Kansas. After a few months' experience of that kind he returned to Jefferson county, where he engaged in farm labor in the service of James Jones, who owned the place adjoining that on which Mr. Gray was born. At the age of eighteen years he determined that he would learn the mercantile business and, starting upon the search for a position, at length entered the store of which Frank Aikin was manager. This was an extensive establishment of Perryville, Kansas, but he did not make much headway there and removed to De Kalb, Missouri, where he secured a situation in the store of John S. Harmon, known as the "Missouri laugher." After two years spent in Mr. Harmon's employ he entered the service of a clothing firm in Atchison, Kansas, operating under the name of L. Frank. There he received only twenty-five dollars a month at the beginning and from that sum had to pay for room, board and clothing. He continued in the house for four years and then the offer of a better salary in a larger store caused him to change his position. Fourteen years were spent in the new connection, during which time his industry and careful expenditure enabled him to acquire a sufficient capital to engage in business on his own account. Accordingly, on the 28th of March, 1900, he opened a men's clothing, furnishings and hat store in Salt Lake City, Utah, at No. 128 South Main street. The enterprise was fairly successful from the beginning and three years later more commodious quarters were secured at a better location, No. 154 Main street. His success in the new store was very flattering, but after two years Mr. Gray found it necessary to leave Salt Lake because of his wife's health, and in searching for a location on the Pacific coast decided upon Portland. He then secured a lease in the Blumauer building, at Nos. 269 and 271 Morrison street, and equipped what was probably the finest store on the coast at the time. He opened his doors for business on the 23d of March, 1905, and the establishment found immediate favor with the people, a men's general clothing business being conducted with gratifying prosperity for four years. At the end of that time Mr. Gray decided to establish an exclusive shop for men's and women's tailored clothes, such as would be a pride to the country, and his present establishment is the result. His five years' business experience in Portland has satisfied him that this city shall remain his home for the rest of his life, for he believes that in climate, opportunity and in population this state cannot be in any way improved upon.

HUEY – Huey, Calhoun, Kincaid, Rutter, Pickens, Love, Nunn, Morris, Wright, Harmon, Brian, Johnson, Forrest, Meredith, Powell, Smith #11183. Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume IV, Battle-Perrin-Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Livingston Co. COL. JAMES K. HUEY was born in what is now Dyer’s Hill Precinct, Livingston County, Ky., March 27, 1827, and is a son of Robert and Eliza (Calhoun) Huey. The father was born in what is now Fairfield District, S. C., in 1784. His parents, John and Ann (Kincaid) Huey, were both natives of Ireland, and came to the United States about the year 1780. In 1796, when the father of subject was but twelve years old, the grandfather came to Christian County, which is now Livingston County, and settled the place now known as the Rutter farm, about two miles from the present village of Hampton. There the grandparents and parents off subject all lie buried. John Huey entered about 1,000 acres of land, on one tract of which he resided until his death. The father of our subject grew to manhood in this county, and about 1818 was married to Miss Eliza, daughter of Patrick and Ellen (Pickens) Calhoun, the latter was a daughter of Col. William Pickens, of the Revolutionary war. Patrick Calhoun was a cousin of John C. Calhoun, the noted statesman of South Carolina. To this union were born Ellen (who married J. C. Love), and Maria (who married S. R. Nunn), and subject. The father of subject, about 1833, was married (again) to Mrs. Malinda Morris, of Illinois, by which marriage were born unto them Rebecca, Lizzie, Angie and Sallie. Angie died at the age of twelve. Rebecca, Lizzie and Sallie made happy marriages with men of high position in Alabama. Robert Huey settled on the farm now known as the Joseph Wright farm, in Livingston County, and there resided until his death, in the summer of 1842. He was a successful farmer, and one of the largest stock raisers in this county, and was a true example of the early pioneer of this county. His first wife, the mother of subject, died in 1829. Subject is the youngest of three children by the first marriage and the only one of them now living. Subject, James K., being fifteen years of age when his father died, went to McCracken County, Ky., where he entered Wilmington Seminary, near Paducah, and remained for one year at school. In 1844 he commenced the duties of deputy sheriff in said county under his uncle, James C. Calhoun, who was then sheriff, and continued to perform all the duties of said office for five years. Returning home to Livingston County 1st of January, 1849, he purchased the office of sheriff from H. A. Harmon, who was the oldest magistrate. This office he held for two years. In 1851 the constitution of the State was changed, and the sheriff made elective. He became a candidate, and was elected in 1851, and again in 1853 without opposition. While he was acting as sheriff he found time to read law, and in 1856 he was admitted to practice. In 1857 he was elected as a Democrat, from Livingston and Marshall Counties, to the legislature, and served in the session of 1857 and 1858. His opponent, Hon. James Brian, of Marshall, also a Democrat and a man of ability, was defeated in the contest by a large majority in each of said counties. Returning home he continued the practice of law until 1860, when he was nominated by his party for the office of State senator for the counties of McCracken, Livingston, Lyon and Caldwell. He was defeated by Dr. John M. Johnson by eighty five votes. He ran ahead of his ticket, however, several hundred votes. At the opening of the war he raised a company of cavalry in the counties of Hopkins, Webster and Livingston. He was elected captain, and reported for duty in the Confederate service. At the battle of Fort Donelson he refused to surrender with Gen. Forrest’s men. He united and marched out in defiance of the enemy. He participated in many of the leading fights of the war, having four horses killed under him in battle. He distinguished himself for bravery and opposition to a guerrilla warfare. He retired with the rank of colonel May 19, 1865; marching into Paducah with ninety men, surrendered to Gen. Meredith, who was then in command of the post. Returning home he found himself debarred from the practice of law by an act of congress passed during the war. He accordingly embarked in the commission business in New Orleans. He continued in business there until 1872, when he returned home to Livingston County, and re-engaged in the practice of law until he was elected county judge in 1874, again in 1878, and in 1882, which position he continues to hold. Judge Huey was married in Canton, Miss., July 14, 1870, to Miss Alice Powell, a daughter of Robert and Frances (Smith) Powell. The father is one of the largest planters of the South. Mrs. Huey was born 14th of February, 1845, and is the mother of six children, of whom three are living: Fannie P., James K., Jr., and Jessie. Mr. and Mrs. Huey are members of the Missionary Baptist Church. He is a member of Smithland Lodge, No. 138, F. & A.M. Since the death of the Whig party in 1855, he has been a firm and consistent Democrat, taking a prominent part in every political contest. In every capacity in which Judge Huey has served, he has shown ability, and established great character for energy and honesty, and for a life of pure morals he has no superior. Col. Huey contributes liberally to every cause of charity. During the ten years he served as sheriff, he expended all that he made in educating and accomplishing his half-sisters, who were left penniless. He is a firm, out-spoken, and a true friend, a devoted husband and affectionate father. It can be truly said that honor has always been dearer to him than life. (See portrait).
