George Burbridge, & soldier in the war of the Revolution. The Blue Grass region of Kentucky boasts of many old and honored families, and of the list there are none, perhaps, more worthy of mention in a history sacred to their memory, than the Burbridge family, all men of broad views, active minds and fine intelligence; they have figured for many years in the public affairs of the State, and have left upon record a career worth of emulation. The old Revolutionary soldier removed to Kentucky during her early history, bringing a family with him whom he reared to honorable man and womanhood. The father of our subject at that time was but a young boy; he early took an active interest in the stirring events of the times; became a soldier in the war of 1812, and rose to the rank of captain. He married Miss Eliza Ann, daughter of Jno. A. Barnes, of Port Gibson, Mississippi. The three sons born to them have all been active men. Gen. Stephen G.

Militia, enrolled for the defense of the State, receiving his commission from Gov. Bramlette. In 1859-60, he represented Bourbon County in the State legislature, defeating Chas. C. Lair; he was nominated and elected by the old Whig or Union party; during 1865-6, he was supervising special agent for the treasury department for the District of Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas; he also held the position of Quartermaster Agent, investigating claims inTennessee; retiring from public life, he devoted his time to his own private business and to the establishing and collecting of claims; he is largely interested in real estate; his home in Bourbon County consists of 235 acres of fine land, besides, which he has over 1600 acres in Texas, eight acres in the suburban town of Englewood, Chicago, and a fine property in Superior City, Wisconsin. He has been for some time interested in the breeding of fine cattle and sheep, and has recently become interested in the breeding of fine trotting stock. Politically, he is a Republican, and he and family are members of the Christian Church. He was married January 8, 1846, to Miss Rebecca S., daughter of James S. Matson. They are the parents of eight children, living, viz: Eliza A., James M., Robert O., Henry (dead), Lucy M., Mary Louisa, Hattie W., Russell C. and Stephen G.

E. G. BEDFORD, farmer, P. O. Paris. Prominent among the beautiful country homes in Bourbon County, is "Woodland Villa," comprised of 675 acres of fine Blue Grass land, and the home and pride of its owner, Mr. E. G. Bedford, who was born August 24, 1814, in Bourbon County, and is the son of Littleberry and Mattie Clay Bedford, and grandson of Thomas Bedford, who was born and died in Charlotte County, Virginia; Littleberry Bedford being a native of the same county, but came to Bourbon County when it still contained a fair population of Indians. Mr. Bedford has been twice married, the alliance both times being with families equal in prominence and reputation. His first marriage was in 1836, to Miss Margaret T. Garrard, daughter of General James Garrard, and grand-daughter of Governor Garrard. His second marriage was to Miss Lucy D. Reid, on the 13th of Sept. 1870. They have but one child living, born of their union on Dec. 10, 1873. For many years Mr. Bedford was counted amonq the most prominent and extensive breeders of fine shorthorns, but on Oct. 28, 1874, he sold at public sale most of his herd, which brought him almost unequaled prices. His best sale while in the business was a bull at $7,000. For twenty-five or thirty years he was one of the Directors of the Bourbon County Fair and Agricultural Association. He was formerly a Whig in politics, but now claims to be an Independent Democrat. Mrs. Bedford is a member of the Christian Church, and a lady well worthy the position she maintains, as the wife of one of Bourbon county's leading citizens.

WILLIAM L. SPEARS, farmer; P. O. Muir, K. C. R.; among the brave and adventurous spirits who, defying the privations of the wilderness and the savage vengeance of the red men, left their homes and followed in the wake of Boone and Kenton, to lay low the wilderness and make smooth the road for the advancing tide of civilization into Kentucky, was John L. Spears, of Virginia. Arriving at the infant settlements, he offered his services as a surveyor and school teacher, and they were eagerly accepted, for few men with such attainments had as yet visited the dark and bloody ground. He entered land in the southern part of Fayette County, where he settled, reared a family, and after attaining the grand old age of ninety-four years, peacefully died. His son, Lee W. Spears, born in 1804, took possession of the old homestead, married Miss Frances W. Tapp, and raised a family of children, consisting of Charles L., George W., Luther, Riley F., Sarah (Land), Mildred (Davis), Rands (Bronaugh), John L., William L., and Chris. The latter was a private in Co. B. 8th Ky. Cavalry, C. S. A., and died a prisoner in Camp Douglas. William L. Spears was born May 22, 1835; received a common school education, and at the age of nineteen began life for himself.

THOS. H. WILSON, farmer; P. O. Paris; is descended from an old and honored English family, and traces his genealogy back to his grandfather, Isaac Wilson, a native of England.

H., the subject of this sketch, was born in Fayette County, Ky., Aug. 13 , 1824, and is the son of Samuel and Rebecca (Layton) Wilson, daughter of Thos. Layton. The earlier years of his life were spent in acquiring an education and in assisting his father. Being possessed of a high sense of honor, and natural financiering ability, he rapidly acquired a financial standing in the community. He now owns 580 acres of fine bluegrass land, on which he has resided for many years. He has given much attention to the growing of hemp, in which all his theories put in practice, have proved a success. He has handled and bred some fine short horns, though not classed among the extensive breeders. He was formerly a member of the old Whig party, but since the war he has been a Democrat. He was married in 1849 to Miss Margaret, daughter of Geo. McLeod, of Bourbon County; they have four children-Fayette, now wife of Dr. Wm. Warren, of Versailles, Delia, Anna and Kate.
