Misc. Notes
JOSEPH G. CHINN, [1] retired physician, Lexington, was born April 1, 1797, in Bourbon County, Ky. His ancestors came from Great Britain at an early day, settling in Virginia where his father, William B. Chinn, figured prominently in the militia of that State during the Revolution. After that period, he emigrated to Kentucky, settling in Bourbon County, where he followed the occupation of a farmer until his death, which occurred at the age of sixty years. Joseph G. was brought up on his father's farm, and received such education as the early and imperfect schools of the period afforded. Pursuing his studies, however, by the aid of competent teachers, he mastered the common branches and acquired a knowledge of Latin, which proved of great benefit to him in later years. At the breaking-out of the war of 1812, then but fifteen years old, he volunteered in the service of his country from his native State. Meeting with an accident to one of his feet, he was detained from entering actual service until 1813. At the close of the war, he returned to his native State and engaged in the study of medicine. He began his studies under Dr. Andrew Todd of his native town, though he spent some time also, in his preliminary preparations, in the offices of Drs. Cochrane and Grosgean, of Paris, Ky. His first course of lectures were taken at the University of Pennsylvania, during the season of 1816-17, after which the degree of M. D. was conferred upon him, when he returned to Paris, Ky., and began the practice of his profession. After practicing a short time, he attended a course of lectures at Transylvania University, of Lexington, Ky., from which he graduated in 1843. Removing to Lexington, Mo., he resumed the practice of medicine, where he remained nine years, and then returned to his native State and located at Lexington, where he has since resided. Six years of his practice having been done as a partner of Dr. David T. Morton, now deceased. He has met with the most gratifying success in the practice of medicine, and in political views he has been conservative. He was in sympathy with the principles of the old Whig party; was strongly opposed to slavery, and was a stanch friend of the Union during the great rebellion. After the war, he became a Democrat, and has voted with that party ever since. In 1824, he served as Magistrate in Harrison County for two years. When in Lexington, Mo., he filled the office of Mayor of the town and City Judge, both these capacities being discharged by a single functionary. After he had returned to Lexington, Ky., he was elected a member of the Board of Councilmen of that town for several consecutive terms, and subsequently was elected to the office of Mayor. He has been quite an extensive contributor to medical and religious journals. He joined the Baptist Church in 1825, but subsequently affiliated with the Christian Church, and, in 1830, was mainly instrumental in organizing a church of that denomination in Bourbon County, which was among the very first organized in Kentucky. For many years, he has held the office of Elder, and is a consistent Christian, and an active and effective worker in his church.
