Francine Did someone send you information? I note you have Peter Cissell, b 1764, married to Eleanor Cissell, b 1724-not likely. This Eleanor Cissell would prob have been born 1760-1782. She could possibly be the daughter of Ignatius Cissell (c 1735-1788) and Elizabeth Unknown. This Eleanor was born 22-Jun-1776. Does anyone else have a marriage for this Eleanor, or a better idea on which Eleanor Cissell married Peter Cissell. Melissa Thompson Alexander

Another one! One of Marion county's most distinguished citizens is Edwin Carlile Litsey, assistant cashier of the Marion National Bank at Lebanon, who has not only been successful in the banking business, but has also won wide repute as an author, his literary productions stamping him as a writer of high merit. Mr. Litsey was born at Beechland, Kentucky, on the 3d of June, 1874, and is a scion of Revolutionary stock, his paternal great-great-grandfather, Anthony Litsey, who was born in 1702, having fought in the war for independence. He was the father of Randal Litsey, who was the father of Uriah Litsey. The latter was a native of Kentucky, followed farming during his active life, and died in Washington county, this state. He was a democrat in his political views and was an adherent of the Presbyterian church. He married Eleanor Lewis, who also was a native of this state and died in Washington county. To them was born William Henry Litsey, whose birth occurred at the family homestead in Washington county in 1847, and who died in Lebanon, Marion county, May 12, 1891. He was a merchant, a man of prominence and influence in his community, supported the democratic party and was a member of the Presbyterian church. He married Sarah Elizabeth Johnston, who was a lifelong resident of Lebanon and a daughter of Hervey and Mary (Hagar) Johnston. Her father was a native of Pennsylvania, from which state he removed to Kentucky in an early day, locating at Lebanon, where he established a hardware store, which he conducted to the time of his death. He was a Presbyterian in his religious faith and supported the republican party. His wife was born in Maryland and died in Lebanon. Edwin C. Litsey, son of William H. and Sarah E. (Johnston) Litsey, secured his educational training in public and private schools in Lebanon and in June, 1891, at the age of seventeen years, entered the Marion National Bank as runner, from which position he was advanced to that of bookkeeper, and eventually was appointed assistant cashier, which position he is still filling. A man of sound business judgment and discrimination, he has been a definite factor in the success of the institution with which he is connected, and commands the respect of all who have had dealings with him. Mr. Litsey possesses marked literary ability, his first work, "The Princess of Gramfalon," having been published when he was twenty-six years of age. Altogether he has written twelve books, eight of which have been published, namely: "The Princess of Gramfalon," "The Love Story of Abner Stone," "The Man from Jericho," "A Maid of the Kentucky Hills," "A Blue Grass Cavalier," "The Race of the Swift," "Grist" and "Spindrift," the latter being a collection of his poems. All of the works have been well received and Mr. Litsey holds a high place among the fiction writers of the day. On June 5, 1900, at Springfield, Kentucky, Mr. Litsey was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Selecman, who was born in Springfield in June, 1874, and died October 21, 1910, at Springfield, though at that time a resident of Lebanon. She was a daughter of Judge William E. and Sallie (Robertson) Selecman. Her father, who was born in Nelson county, Kentucky, and died at Springfield, was a lawyer by profession and served as judge of the Washington county circuit court, was an active member and deacon of the Baptist church and a stanch democrat in his political belief. His wife, who was born in Washington county, is now living in Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Litsey became the parents of a daughter, Sarah Selecman, who was born June 23, 1901. She graduated from the Louisville Collegiate School and from the Sargent School, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, class of 1923, after which she became athletic instructor at the Mary Baldwin School, Staunton, Virginia, and now holds a similar position in the J. M. Atherton High School for Girls at Louisville. Mr. Litsey is independent in his political views. During the World war he took an active part, as a banker, in the handling of the Liberty loans, lending his aid and influence in every possible way to the successful prosecution of the various drives in this county. He is a member of the Arts Club of Louisville, Kentucky; the Arts Club of Washington, D. C., the National Arts Club of New York city, the Authors' Club of London, England, and the Academic Society of International History, of Paris, France. He has given his hearty cooperation to all measures for the advancement or betterment of his home city and county and is regarded as one of the representative and influential men of Kentucky.

Here is another one, Vickie sorry about previous one, got in hurry and didn't pay attention to what I was doing. The state of Kentucky has just reason for pride in the personnel of her lawyers from the early days of the history of the commonwealth to the present time, and on the roll of honored names in this field of endeavor appears that of the late Benedict Spalding, who through a long period was regarded as one of the ablest and most successful attorneys of Marion county, where he practiced to the time of his death, on June 16, 1920. Mr. Spalding was a native of Marion county, having been born in Lebanon on the 9th of March, 1851. He came of an old Kentucky family, his paternal grandfather, Thomas Spalding, having been one of a large company, including the Spalding, Abel and Hill families, who migrated from St. Mary's county, Maryland, in 1787, and settled in Marion county, Kentucky. Thomas Spalding here engaged in farming during his remaining years and contributed his efforts to the development and progress of this section of the state. He was a Roman Catholic in his religious faith and supported the democratic party. He married a Miss Abel, who too was among those who came from Maryland to this locality. Among their children was Benedict Spalding, who was born in Lebanon, Marion county, in 1805, and died here in 1865. He was a graduate of Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and practiced medicine during the remainder of his life at Lebanon, being a successful physician and influential citizen. He was a democrat and a member of the Roman Catholic church. He married Miss Ann Grimes, who was born in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, and died in Lebanon, in 1877. She was a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Hawkins) Grimes, the former a native and lifelong resident of Mercer county, this state, where he followed farming, owning many acres of land and a large number of slaves. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and a democrat. Benedict Spalding attended the academy at Lebanon, and then entered the law school of Harvard University, from which he was graduated in 1875, with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He then began the practice of his profession at Lebanon, to which he devoted his attention until 1878, when he bought a blue-grass farm and for nine years was engaged in farming and stock raising. However, his love for the law lured him back to his profession and he formed a partnership with C. S. Hill, with whom he was associated to the time of his death. An able and erudite lawyer, a forceful speaker and a sound and safe adviser, he was recognized as one of the strongest members of the Marion county bar and commanded a large practice. On May 2, 1877, in Stanford, Kentucky, Mr. Spalding was united in marriage to Miss Mary Speed Hill, who was born in Lincoln county, Kentucky, and is a daughter of Colonel Thomas P. and Mariah Alcorn (Peyton) Hill. Colonel Hill was born in Springfield, Kentucky, October 31, 1826, and died in Stanford, November 20, 1906. He was educated at St. Mary's College and read law under Attorney Kincaid, of Boyle county, following his profession all his mature life at Stanford, in partnership with J. W. Alcorn. He was a Jeffersonian democrat in his political views and took an active interest in public affairs but declined all public offices tendered him. He was a member of the Christian church and in his earlier years took an active part in the work of the Masonic order. His parents were Thomas and Louisa (Peyton) Hill, and the former was born in Marion county, Kentucky, and died of yellow fever in Louisville, in 1833, at the age of twenty-six years, while on his way home to Springfield. He was a lawyer by profession, and supported the democratic party. His wife was born near Peyton's Well in Lincoln county, this state. Thomas Hill was a son of Clement Hill, who lived near Lebanon, Marion county, where he was a farmer and slave owner. He was a Roman Catholic in religion and a democrat in politics. His father was a native of England and came to Maryland with Lord Baltimore in 1632. Mariah Alcorn Peyton was born near Peyton's Well, Lincoln county, Kentucky, in 1824, and died at Stanford, March 1, 1867. She was a daughter of Simeon and Pamela (Alcorn) Peyton, the former a son of Valentine and Betsy (Edwards) Peyton, who came from Virginia to Lincoln county, Kentucky, in 1787, both dying at Peyton's Well. Mrs. Spalding was educated in the public schools of Stanford, the Daughters' College, in Mercer county, Kentucky, and Vassar College, at Poughkeepsie, New York. She is a member of the United Presbyterian church and gives her political support to the democratic party. To Mr. and Mrs. Spalding were born two sons, both of whom are deceased: Thomas Hill Spalding, who was born September 27, 1878, and died in Lexington, Kentucky, in December, 1920, was graduated from Centre College, at Danville, studied law under his grandfather and was admitted to the bar, after which he practiced for a number of years in Louisville, being prosecuting attorney at one time. Later he moved to Lexington and engaged in the insurance business. He married Miss Catherine Alcorn, of Hustonville, Kentucky, and to them was born a daughter, Ann Catherine, who is living with her mother at Hustonville. Dr. Clement B. Spalding was born April 4, 1880, and died in Danville, September 30, 1921, though at that time a resident of Louisville. He graduated from Centre College and the medical school of the University of Louisville, and became a successful and prominent physician and surgeon. Benedict Spalding was a lifelong supporter of the democratic party, served two terms as county attorney and was serving as United States referee in bankruptcy at the time of his death. He was an earnest member of the Presbyterian church and stood consistently for all that was best in the life of his community, giving wholehearted support to all measures for the advancement of the public welfare. Kindly and affable in manner, he enjoyed the friendship of all who knew him and was regarded as one of Marion county's leading and influential citizens

Here is another one, Vickie The state of Kentucky has just reason for pride in the personnel of her lawyers from the early days of the history of the commonwealth to the present time, and on the roll of honored names in this field of endeavor appears that of the late Benedict Spalding, who through a long period was regarded as one of the ablest and most successful attorneys of Marion county, where he practiced to the time of his death, on June 16, 1920. Mr. Spalding was a native of Marion county, having been born in Lebanon on the 9th of March, 1851. He came of an old Kentucky family, his

Found this, thought someone could use it, Vickie John W. Clarkson, who has served continuously since 1906 as county superintendent of schools of Marion county, has contributed in large measure to the development and progress of the schools of this county, and has gained an enviable standing among the leading educators of his section of the state. Mr. Clarkson was born at Raywick, Marion county, on Friday, the 13th of August, 1875, and is a son of Henry and Mary Jane (Lamkin) Clarkson. The father, who was born in Washington county, this state, September 1, 1841, and died in Lebanon, April 16, 1923, devoted his life to farming, gave his political support to the democratic party and was a faithful member of the Roman Catholic church. During the Civil war he served in General Morgan's Cavalry and was captured on the Ohio side of the river, put in the state prison at Cincinnati, and later transferred to the federal prison at Rock Island, Illinois, where he was kept in chains for ten days as a suspected spy. He was a son of Edward and Nancy (Turner) Clarkson, both of whom were born in Maryland and died in Washington county, Kentucky. Mr. Clarkson followed farming, was a member of the Roman Catholic church and supported the democratic party. Mary Jane Lamkin, the mother of John W. Clarkson, was born in Raywick, Kentucky, February 24, 1855, and is now living in Lebanon. She is a daughter of John and Margaret (Wright) Lamkin, of whom the former was born in Raywick and the latter in Bardstown, this state, their deaths occurring at Raywick. Mr. Lamkin was engaged in the hotel business, was a democrat in politics and a member of the Roman Catholic church. John W. Clarkson attended the public schools of Marion county and the high school at Lebanon, after which he was a student in St. Mary's College and took two years' work at the Western Teachers' College at Bowling Green. He taught in the rural and village schools of Marion and Nelson counties until November, 1905, when he was elected county superintendent of schools of Marion county. He soon demonstrated his qualifications for this position and the public confidence in him has been evidenced in the fact that he has been successively reelected and is still the incumbent of that office, the duties of which he has discharged in a manner that reflects great credit on his ability. On January 3, 1906, in Calvary, Kentucky, Mr. Clarkson was united in marriage to Miss Ann Lenette Cooper, who was born near New Market, Kentucky, August 22, 1874, and is a daughter of Samuel Smith and Susie (Spalding) Cooper. Her father was born in Marion county, February 6, 1845, and died in Lebanon, August 28, 1916. He had devoted his life to farming, was a member of the Roman Catholic church and was a democrat in politics. His wife was born near St. Mary's, Marion county, in 1850, and died near New Market, November 14, 1878. Samuel S. Cooper was a son of Philip and Cordelia (Smith) Cooper, who lived on the Rolling Fork river, near Raywick, Kentucky, where Mr. Cooper operated a farm and a distillery and at one time served as sheriff of Marion county. He was a democrat and a member of the Roman Catholic church. Susie Spalding was a daughter of William and Catherine (McAtee) Spalding, who lived in Marion county, where the father followed farming. He was a Southern sympathizer during the Civil war, supported the democratic party and was a Roman Catholic in his religious faith. Mrs. Clarkson attended the public schools of Marion county and the parochial school in Lebanon, completing her education in St. Catherine's Academy, in Washington county. She is a member of the Roman Catholic church, the Christian Mothers' Society and St. Vincent de Paul Society. Mr. and Mrs. Clarkson are the parents of six children. Susan Elizabeth, born March 17, 1907, died August 9, 1907; Felix L. Clarkson, born August 9, 1908, attended St. Augustine's high school, graduated at St. Mary's College, St. Mary's, Kansas, and is now at St. Charles College, Grand Coteau, Louisiana; Samuel Cooper, born August 27, 1910, is a student in the Lebanon high school; Mary Catherine was born May 22, 1913; Dorothy Louise was born July 14, 1916; Lucy Craycroft was born October 15, 1918, and died February 6, 1920. Mr. Clarkson is a democrat in his political views, is a member of St. Augustine's Catholic church and belongs to Lebanon Council, No. 1264, K. C., of which he is grand knight. During the World war he took an active part in all of the local drives and during all the years of his residence in this locality he has never been found wanting in his support of such measures as have been calculated to advance the public welfare. He is a man of fine personal qualities, while his earnest and consistent life has won for him the sincere respect of his fellowmen.

Found this and thought someone might be able to use it, Vickie John Bernard Wathen, who was for many years one of the most conspicuous representatives of one of the great commercial interests of Kentucky, was born October 5, 1844, near Lebanon, Kentucky. He was a grandson of William Hudson and Mary Althire (Spalding) Wathen, who came from Maryland to Kentucky and settled on the Rolling Fork river in Marion county. Richard Wathen, father of John B., was a prosperous farmer of Marion county and was engaged to some extent in the business of distilling liquors. His wife was Sophia Abell before her marriage and a daughter of Bernard Abell, one of Marion county's leading citizens in his day. She was a cousin of the distinguished Catholic prelate, Archbishop Martin John Spalding, and also cousin of Bishop John Lancaster Spalding, eminent in the religious world. In the maternal line Mr. Wathen was a descendant of Robert Abell, one of the framers of the first constitution of Kentucky, also of Samuel Abell, who served as high sheriff of St. Mary's county, Maryland, previous to the Revolution. The Spaldings, Abells and Wathens all came from Maryland to Kentucky in 1787, and these families are not only among the oldest in the state, but have been, in many respects, among the most distinguished. The Wathens are descended from John Wathen, who came from England to America and settled in Maryland in 1645. The Abells and Spaldings were also among the Catholic colonists of Maryland. The three families were among the first Catholic settlers in Kentucky, and they have been alike loyal to the church and state, and distinguished alike in the religious and secular world. John B. Wathen was educated in the schools of his native county and at St. Mary's College, not very far distant from his early home. He left college at the age of nineteen years to take charge of a distillery owned by his father and, at that early age, became identified with the business in which he was so eminently successful. While managing this distillery, he also cultivated a farm, on which he lived until 1871, when the impairment of his health made a change of occupation and environment necessary. He then removed to Boyle county, where he resided two years, returning to his former home at the end of that time, much improved in health. For two years thereafter he was engaged in the manufacture of lumber, operating large sawmills both in Marion and Barren counties. In the fall of 1875, in company with his brother, R. N. Wathen, he built a large distillery at Lebanon, Kentucky, and embarked in a business which gave him great prominence among the manufacturers of the United States. From 1875 to 1880, his operations as a distiller were confined to the plant at Lebanon, but he was too astute a business man not to perceive that, in Louisville, the metropolis of the state, were to be found the greatest opportunities for the expansion of trade and the upbuilding of prosperous industries. Hence, he decided to remove to this city and began his operations here in 1880. He built the large distillery plant at the corner of Broadway and Twenty-sixth street, which was one of the most complete and thoroughly equipped distilleries in the United States. All that scientific development and inventive genius had done to improve the process of manufacturing whiskies found representation in the construction and equipment of this plant, and its products became famous. It was an establishment of vast capacity and was operated by a corporation--the J. B. Wathen & Brother Company--of which Mr. Wathen served as president. Mr. Wathen's distillery interests grew rapidly after he entered regularly into the business, and he soon became known as one of the most active and progressive men identified with the spirit trade in the United States. His judgment on matters pertaining to the conduct and management of the business, and his counsels concerning the best interests of the trade for years had great weight with those engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquors, and he was looked to as an authority on many matters of prime importance to both manufacturers and dealers. Some years previous to his death, which occurred October 20, 1919, Mr. Wathen retired from active business. He was one of the prime movers in organizing the Wholesale Liquor Dealers' and Distillers' Association of the United States, and was elected first president of the organization in 1893. He served in that capacity for one year, perfecting the organization and making a most admirable presiding officer, and declined a reelection which was tendered him. In the conduct of a business which was peculiarly subject to changing conditions and in which many perplexing emergencies arose, he evinced a broad grasp of commercial problems and a ripeness of judgment which gave him high standing in the business world. Essentially a business man, he did not strive to win laurels in other fields of effort and was a public man only in the sense that famous manufacturers--whose names become familiar to the people by reason of the magnitude of their operations and the wide distribution of their products--become public men. In politics, he was a democrat of that degree of stanchness that he always voted "a straight ticket," but he never held any office, feeling that office holding was incompatible with strict attention to business. He was a Catholic churchman by inheritance and conviction, but respected all creeds and religions which make for the moral betterment of mankind. He was married on December 5, 1867, at Lebanon, Kentucky, to Margaret Adams, daughter of James and Pamelia (Hill) Adams and a descendant of Maryland ancestors. Her grandfather was John Adams, a Revolutionary soldier, a highly cultivated gentleman, who came from Maryland to Kentucky in 1817, and who was a nephew of John Adams, second president of the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Wathen became parents of nine children, two of whom, Richard E. and Mary Gertrude, died young, the others being: Queenie, who is now the widow of Richard Lawrence Condon, of Yonkers, New York; Eleanora, who married Howard Joseph Pulliam, a Kentuckian by birth, whose forebears were early settlers of the state; Josephine, who is the wife of Charles Edward Cooney, of Syracuse, New York; Richard Eugene, the second of the name, who married Miss Ada Marie Walsh; John Bernard, Jr., who married Miss Effie Ewell; Otho Hill, who married Miss Faye Duffy; and Margaret Adams, the wife of James P. Edwards. All the sons of the above named family were educated at Georgetown University of Washington, D. C., and at Notre Dame University of South Bend, Indiana. Mrs. Queenie Condon attended Nazareth College of Louisville, while her sisters were students in the Academy of the Sacred Heart at St. Louis, Missouri. The family residence is at 418 West Oak street, Louisville.

This is my first request. I am seeking information on 2 brothers from the Lebanon Ky area, Richard and Thomas Lyon. I know they were part of a large family that came from Maryland. I would appreciate any information at all. Thank You Juanita
