When but a boy, Josiah Dukes came with his parents to Muhlenburgh County, Ky. Here his father, Benjamin Dukes bought wild lands, erected a log-cabin, and subsequently improved a farm, upon which he resided until his death. Josiah Dukes, after his marriage, inherited his father-in-law’s old homestead, where he was engaged in farming and stock raising until his death in March, 1883, in his eightieth year. He and wife were devoted members of the Baptist Church. David M. Dukes, after attaining his majority, was engaged in various pursuits for two years. He then farmed on shares for some seven or eight years, after which he bought a farm in Christian County, Ky., where he remained four or five years, when he lost his farm in consequence of a defective title. In December, 1878, he came to Hopkins County, where he rented for one year. He then bought the farm near White Plains, upon which he now resides. He was married, January 25, 1860, to Miss Nancy J. Hill, a native of Muhlenburgh County, Ky. Ten children were the fruit of this union, of whom five sons and four daughters are living. Mr. Duke and wife and four of their children are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. In politics he is a Democrat.
