At 48 years of age Nathaniel became the father of Thomas Richard Green Hart in Boonesborough, VA (now KY), June 29, 1782. Nathaniel Hart was a member of the Transylvania Company and was one of the purchasers of some 20 million acres of land in Kentucky and Tennessee from the Indians in 1775. He was one of the original settlers at Boonesborough in 1775 and helped construct the fort there. His biography from Dictionary of North Carolina Biography edited by William S. Powell, Univ. of North Carolina Press, 1988, follows: Hart, Nathaniel (1734-82), pioneer, Revolutionary officer, and proprietor in and chief negotiator for the Transylvania Company of Kentucky, was born in Hanover County, Va., the son of Thomas and Susannah Rice Hart. His grandfather, Thomas Hart, a merchant, emigrated from London, England, to Hanover County about 1690 and left an only son, Thomas (1632-1755), father of Nathanlel. His mother was an aunt of Daniel Rice, the renowned Presbyterian minister who, before moving to Kentucky in 1781, is said to have taken part in the establishment of one or more early Presbyterian churches in Orange County (now Caswell County), N.C., among which Hyco (now Red House) is one of the oldest in central North Carolina. Shortly after Thomas Hart's death, his widow and children moved to Orange County and settled on Country Line Creek, where three of her sons--Thomas, Nathaniel, and David--in the late 1750s and early 1760s obtained land grants in the area that was cut off from Orange in 1777 to form Caswell County. Nathaniel Hart's estate, known as Red House, located at Nat's Fork on Country Line Creek, was of considerable proportions. Referred to as "Captain Hart," he was not only a polished member of society but also an "accomplished and complete gentleman." As one of the proprietors of the Transylvania Company, he was a leading spirit in opening the Kentucky territory and in establishing the town of Boonesborough. At the Battle of Alamance, Hart led a company of infantrymen in Governor Tryon's army; after the battle, he was highly complimented by the governor and his officers for the gallant and spirited behavior of the detachment under his command. Following the efforts of Daniel Boone and his brother, Squire Boone, to settle Kentucky, Richard Henderson of Granville County in association with Nathaniel Hart, Thomas Hart, John Williams, William Johnson, and John Lutterell, on 27 Aug. 1774 organized the Louisa Company for the purpose of purchasing from the Cherokee Nation a large territory lying on the west side of the mountains on the Mississippi River. In the autumn of 1774, Nathaniel Hart, the chief negotiator, along with Richard Henderson, president of the company, visited the territory and met with the chiefs of the various tribes in the Cherokee country to discuss their interest in buying the land west of the Cumberland Mountains. Nathaniel Hart, Jr., wrote that his father returned to his home with six or eight of the principal men of the Cherokee Nation, who remained with him until the latter part of the year and assisted in the selection of a large supply of goods to be used in exchange for the land. By 1775 the enterprise had outgrown the Articles of Agreement of the Louisa Company. After a reorganization, a new company, called the Transylvania Company, was formed and Daniel Boone was hired to explore the territory. Soon Nathaniel Hart and Richard Henderson brought vast quantities of goods from Cross Creek (now Fayetteville) to Sycamore on the Watauga River near what is now Elizabethton, Tenn. The Watauga meeting, arranged by Hart, lasted twenty days and was attended by 500 to 1,000 Cherokee Indians along with their chiefs. The Transylvania Company was represented by Hart and his brother Thomas, Henderson, and John Williams. Negotiations broke down and the Indians left, but it is said that Nathaniel Hart overtook them the next day, persuaded them to return, and an agreement was reached. On 17 Mar. 1775, the conveyance or treaty was signed, by which the Transylvania Company acquired all of the territory from the Kentucky to the Cumberland rivers. Title to the land was taken in the name of Richard Henderson, Nathaniel Hart, and the other seven proprietors of the company as tenants in common. This purchase was said to have been the largest private land deal ever undertaken in North America. Nathaniel Hart and his associates invested much of their time and private fortunes in the venture; they succeeded in obtaining for the colonies peaceful possession of the land from the Indians, thus permitting the opening of the Kentucky territory for colonization. Nevertheless, they received very little for their efforts. Because of a proclamation by the royal governors of Virginia and North Carolina that prohibited treaties or purchases of land from Indians by individuals, the Crown refused to recognize the transaction and declared it null and void. The same proclamation, in substance, was reenacted by the Virginia assembly after the colonies gained independence from Great Britain. As a consequence, the Transylvania Company retained only that small area of the land lying on the Green River in Kentucky and that portion lying on the North Carolina side of the Virginia line, and its plan to establish an original fourteenth colony in America resulted in failure. In 1760 Hart married Sarah Simpson, daughter of Captain Richard Simpson, a large plantation owner who was one of the earliest settlers in what is now Caswell County. Their daughter, Susanna, in 1783 married General Isaac Shelby, planner of the Battle of Cowpens and hero of the Battle of Kings Mountain, who became the first governor of the state of Kentucky and for whom the towns of Shelby, N.C., Shelbyville, Tenn., and Shelby County, Ky., were named. Nathaniel and Sarah Hart's grandson, Thomas Hart Shelby of Traveler's Rest, Ky., was said to have been the first importer of thoroughbred livestock, including racehorses, into the state of Kentucky. Hart was appointed a justice of the peace by the royal governor. He served as captain of militia before the outbreak of the Revolution and as captain in the army during the American Revolution. He was killed by Indians near Logan's Station in Lincoln, Ky., where he left his will. In 1783 his widow and their son Nathaniel, Jr., went to Logan's Station to prove the will.

Isaac Shelby was one of the heroes of the Batle of King's Mountain, South Carolina in the Revolutionary War. He was the first Governor of Kentucky serving 1792-1796. He served again as Kentucky's Governor 1812-1816 and led the Kentucky troops in the War of 1812. He is listed in the Kentucky Encyclopedia. Shelby County, Kentucky is named for him as well as counties in Ohio and Iowa. His biography from The Kentucky Encyclopedia follows: SHELBY, ISAAC. Isaac Shelby, Kentucky's first governor, was born near Hagerstown, Maryland, on December 11, 1750, to Evan and Letitia (Cox) Shelby. The family moved to western Virginia in 1772. Young Shelby gained military experience in Lord Dunmore's War and the Revolutionary War. He emerged from the latter as one of the heroes of the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina, on October 7, 1780, when Great Britain's Maj. Patrick Ferguson was killed and his command was eliminated. In late 1783 Shelby and his bride, Susannah (Hart) Shelby, moved to his preemption holding near Knob Lick in Lincoln County, and his reputation made him a leader in Kentucky politics. He participated in several of the conventions that preceded Kentucky's statehood in 1792, and on May 17 of that year the state's electors unanimously chose him as the first governor. He served from June 4, 1792, to June 1, 1796. After leaving office, Shelby spent sixteen years developing his properties and increasing his fortune. In 1812, as war with Great Britain became imminent, the public persuaded him to run for governor again. The electoral college had been discarded by then, and Shelby defeated Gabriel Slaughter easily, 29,285 to 11,936, on the strength of his military experience. He held office from August 24, 1812, to September 5, 1816. Shelby insisted that Gen. William Henry Harrison be given top command in the western theater, and he pushed for a statewide preparedness program. In 1813 Shelby raised 3,500 troops, double the number requested. With the permission of the General Assembly, he personally led the troops to join Harrison's army. The doughty sixty-two-year-old governor was active at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813, when the British and the Indians were decisively defeated. After his second retirement, his last public service of consequence occurred in 1818, when he and Andrew Jackson negotiated with the Chickasaw Indians the purchase for Kentucky of the area west of the Tennessee River that became known as the Jackson Purchase. In his first administration, Shelby provided sound, reliable leadership in the implementation of the new constitution. His role was much like that of George Washington on the national scene three years earlier. Shelby was a Jeffersonian Republican as that party emerged, and he sought federal assistance in curbing the Indians in the Northwest and in securing the vital use of the Mississippi River. His refusal to take action against pro-French groups upset the federal administration, but Shelby proved correct in his belief that the Genêt affair would collapse of its own accord when Genêt failed to win support for France in the United States. The economy proved stable, as adequate finances were found for a relatively passive government. Shelby's second administration was dominated by the War of 1812, and he paid little attention to domestic concerns. The militia laws were revised in an effort to create a more effective organization, and women were urged to sew and knit for the cause. But the Kentuckians who fought in the Battle of New Orleans were poorly equipped. When Shelby left office, honored by most Kentuckians for his service, he returned once more to his farm Travelers Rest, south of Danville, where he died on July 18, 1826. He was buried in the family cemetery.

At 53 years of age Ephraim became the father of Alfred McDowell in Lincoln Co., KY, 1825. Ephraim McDowell was a famous pioneer physician. He moved to Danville, Kentucky in 1784. His biography from The Kentucky Encyclopedia follows: McDOWELL, EPHRAIM. Ephraim McDowell, physician and surgeon who introduced pioneering techniques in abdominal surgery, was born on November 11, 1771, in Augusta (later Rockbridge) County, Virginia. He was the ninth of eleven children of Samuel and Mary (McClung) McDowell.His family moved to Danville, Kentucky, in 1784. Schooled in Georgetown and Bardstown, McDowell studied medicine with Alexander Humphreys of Staunton, Virginia, attended a course of lectures at the University of Edinburgh School of Medicine, and studied anatomy and surgery with John Bell. McDowell returned to Danville in 1795 and built a busy practice, earning a regional reputation as a skillful anatomist and surgeon, widely consulted by other practitioners. McDowell did not keep notes on his cases, however, and published only two articles, both of them in an obscure journal, the Eclectic Repertory and Analytical Review. Recognition of the significance of his work came slowly and only decades after he performed the first successful ovariotomy, on Christmas Day 1809. The forty-seven-year-old patient, Jane (Todd) CRAWFORD, who had been thought to be pregnant with twins, was in fact suffering from a large cystic ovarian tumor that weighed more than twenty pounds. In a letter describing the surgical procedure that would subsequently bring him international fame, McDowell said he had warned Crawford that four of the "most eminent Surgeons in England and Scotland had uniformly declared in their Lectures that such was the danger of Peritoneal Inflammation, that opening the abdomen to extract the tumor was inevitable death. But notwithstanding this, if she thought herself prepared to die, I would take the lump from her if she could come to Danville." The surgery went well and Crawford was "perfectly well in twenty-five days." McDowell performed the operation well before the discovery of the importance of aseptic techniques or the introduction of anaesthetics. McDowell performed the procedure at least eleven additional times, with but one death. He was one of the first surgical pathologists, carefully preserving and studying specimens removed during surgical procedures. Dr. Samuel D. Gross, a professor of surgery in the school of medicine of the University of Louisville during the 1840s and l850s, publicized McDowell's accomplishments and secured for McDowell his proper place in the annals of abdominal and gynecological surgery. McDowell was one of the founders of Centre College in Danville, and between 1819 and 1829 served on the college's board of trustees. On December 29, 1802, McDowell married Sarah Hart Shelby, the daughter of the first governor of Kentucky, Isaac Shelby (1792-96 and 1812-16). The couple had six children, five of whom survived: Susan, Mary, Adaline, Catherine, and William Wallace. McDowell died on June 25, 1830, and is buried in Danville.See Laman A.

Died in Danville, Ky., December 22, 1871. Burial location unknown. (end) Robert Jefferson Breckinridge was a Prebyterian minister and a stong supporter of the Union. He is buried at the Lexington Cemetery, Lexington, KY. His biography from The Kentucky Encyclopedia follows: BRECKINRIDGE, ROBERT JEFFERSON. Robert Jefferson Breckinridge, called the father of the public school system in Kentucky, was born March 8, 1800, near Lexington, Kentucky, to John and Mary Hopkins (Cabell) BRECKINRIDGE. His father, a U.S. senator and cabinet member under President Thomas Jefferson, died in 1806 when the boy was six; his mother ran their large plantation for nearly half a century. After attending Princeton and Yale, Breckinridge graduated from Union College in Schenectady, New York, in 1819. He was elected to the Kentucky legislature in 1825 and served until 1830. A near-fatal illness, coupled with the death of his second child, then caused him to turn to religion. Breckinridge was ordained in the Presbyterian church in 1832 and held pastorates in Baltimore and Lexington. During 1853-69, he was a professor at Danville Theological Seminary. Although elected to the church's highest leadership position in 1841, he was often involved in religious controversy. Breckinridge took a leading role in the debates that split his church in the antebellum period, wrote numerous articles and books bitterly attacking Catholicism, and composed lengthy theological works that gained both praise and considerable criticism. After serving as president of Jefferson College in Pennsylvania during 1845-47, Breckinridge returned to Kentucky, where he was soon appointed SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. After the office became elective, he was returned to the post in 1851 and served until 1853. He obtained legislative and voter approval for the first Kentucky property tax for educational purposes and secured that system in the 1850 constitution; attendance at public schools increased from 24,000 in 1848 to 195,000 four years later. Although Breckinridge himself held slaves-thirty-seven in 1860-he supported gradual emancipation and colonization and spoke for those causes in state, national, and international forums. He was an eloquent orator, but his combative spirit led to bitter debates, such as the confrontation with Robert WICKLIFFE, a Lexington legislator and attorney, over slavery. Breckinridge followed a political path from Whig to Know-Nothing to Republican. Running unsuccessfully as an emancipation candidate for the 1849 Kentucky constitutional convention, he was one of the last elected public officials in the South to give the antislavery cause strong public support. Breckinridge quickly sided with the Union when the Civil War started and became a major border state spokesman for that cause through the pages of the Danville Quarterly Review. His family sent two sons south, as well as two north, and his nephew John C. BRECKINRIDGE, a former vice president of the United States, was a Confederate general. Yet Breckinridge called for harsh measures against secession, and he eventually accepted Abraham Lincoln's emancipation of slaves. In 1864 Breckinridge was chosen temporary chairman of the national convention that renominated President Lincoln. But with the war's end, Breckinridge and his supporters became outnumbered as the commonwealth turned anti-administration and even pro-Southern. Within his family, one of his daughters-in-law refused to let him see her children for two years after the war ended. Breckinridge married his cousin, Ann Sophonisba Preston, in 1823; they had eleven children. Following her death in 1844, he married another cousin, Virginia Hart Shelby; they had three children. His second wife died in 1859, and in 1868 he married Margaret Faulkner White. Breckinridge died on December 27, 1871, and was buried in the Lexington Cemetery. See James C. Klotter, The Breckinridges of Kentucky (Lexington, Ky., 1986). JAMES C. KLOTTER

She married Joseph Alexander Humphreys in Lexington, KY, June 21, 1853. Joseph was born in Woodford Co., KY July 29, 1826. Joseph was the son of David Carlisle Humphreys and Sarah Finley Scott. Joseph died February 15, 1863 in New York, NY, at 36 years of age. His body was interred in Frankfort Cemetery, Frankfort, KY. At 27 years of age Joseph became the father of Lucy Alexander Humphreys in Woodford Co., KY, May 22, 1854. At 29 years of age Joseph became the father of Louisiana Hart Humphreys in "Woodburn", Woodford Co., KY, September 26, 1855. At 30 years of age Joseph became the father of Isabella Hart Humphreys in Woodford Co., KY, November 29, 1856. At 31 years of age Joseph became the father of Sarah Gibson Humphreys in Woodford Co., KY, March 21, 1858. At 32 years of age Joseph became the father of Joseph Alexander Humphreys II in Woodford Co., KY, June 28, 1859. Joseph was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Woodford County, Kentucky. The 1860 Census for Woodford County, Kentucky lists Joseph A. Humphreys, age 34, farmer, born in Kentucky, with a personal estate of $20,000.00 and wife Sarah, 30, with a personal estate of $5,000, born in Mississippi. Also listed are Lucy Humphreys, age 6, Anna Humphreys, age 5, born September 26, 1855, Sallie Humphreys, age 3, born March 29, 1858, and Gibson Humphreys, age 1, born June 28, 1859, all born in Kentucky. His biography from History of Kentucky by Judge Charles Kerr (Chicago and New York, 1922): JOSEPH ALEXANDER HUMPHREYS. "Sumner's Forest," located about eleven miles west of Lexington in Woodford County, now owned by Lucy Alexander Humphreys Johnstone and her sister, Sarah Gibson Chenault, is one of the historic places of Kentucky. It takes its name from General Jethro Sumner, who was born in Virginia about 1733 and who was active and prominent in the measures that preceded the Revolution and in the Revolution itself. In 1760 he was paymaster of the Provincial troops of North Carolina, and in 1776 was appointed colonel of the Third North Carolina Regiment. He served under Washington in the North, was commissioned a brigadier general in 1779, and took part in the campaign under General Greene when the British were expelled from the Carolinas. This Revolutionary soldier died in North Carolina about 1790. For his services he received a grant of about 3,000 acres on the South Elkhorn. The modern Sumner's Forest is about four miles from that creek. General Sumner owned other large tracts, and it is probable that his holdings in this section of Kentucky were nearer 20,000 acres. It is supposed that he erected or had erected the residence, which was a combined dwelling and fort and is located about two miles from the Village of Fort Garrett and some twelve miles southwest of Lexington, and about eight miles from Versailles. Within the recollection of men still living this pioneer building was surrounded by dense forests. The property and about 3,000 acres of the land was acquired in 1792, or perhaps some years earlier, by John Brown, the first United States senator from Kentucky, whose career is noted elsewhere in this publication. John Brown was the ancestor of the present owner. John Brown acquired it from Thomas Sumner, a son of General Sumner for $2 an acre. John brown's wife was from Philadelphia and, not liking the forest life, he abandoned it as a home and brought his father, John, and his mother from Virginia and gave to them the property. In 1803 it passed to another son, Preston Brown, who in turn sold it to his nephew David Carlisle Humphreys in 1826. The mother of Mr. Humphreys was Mary Brown. Sumner's Forest has ever been a place of entertainment and noted for its hospitality. The bill of fare is still preserved of a noted dinner given July 29, 1856 to thirty-four prominent guests. Almost everything good to eat is listed, and waiters for the occasion were imported from Louisville. David Carlisle Humphreys, who acquired Sumner's Forest in 1826, had been a merchant, a dealer in flour, buying the output of several mills and shipping the product to the sugar planters of Louisiana and Mississippi. When he bought Sumner's Forest it contained about 640 acres. later he bought Waverly, the old home of the parents of John B. Haggin, a noted horseman, near Midway, and at Waverly Mr. Humphreys spent his later years. He married Sarah Scott, daughter of Doctor Joseph and Martha (Finley) Scott, of Lexington and Frankfort. To their marriage were born two sons, Joseph Alexander Humphreys and Samuel Brown Humphreys. The family line represented in Samuel Brown Humphreys is now extinct. He married Margaret Stribling of Virginia, and died when comparitively young on a farm near his father's place. His two sons, David and Thomas both died childless. His daughter Mary became the wife of Anthony Dey, her cousin, of New York, and she died without issue. Lucy, another daughter of David became the wife of A. J. Alexander, of Woodburn, and they lived at Sherwood, near her father, but her three children died in childhood. The only daughter [note: she was not the only daughter] of David Carlisle Humphreys was Mary Brown Humphreys, who was born in 1830 and was famous for her beauty of person and charm of intellect. Her hand was sought by scores of suitors before it was finally bestowed. On the wall of the library of Sumner's Forest hang two portraits in oil, one showing this famous beauty and another her mother, Sarah Scott Humphreys. Joseph Alexander Humphreys, a son of David C. Humphreys, was born at Frankfort in 1826, and at the age of eighteen months was taken to Sumner's Forest. After the age of twelve he lived with the family at Waverly. His father gave him Sumner's Forest, and he took possession of the property at the age of twenty-one. His talents and education were such as to admirably qualify him for the possession of such a home. He was a graduate of Centre College and also Yale College, and took a special course in medicine at Princeton University. For three years he was a student in Europe, studying at Paris and traveling through nearly all the great centers of culture. In 1853 he married his cousin, Sarah Gibson, daughter of Tobias Gibson, of Terrebonne Parish Louisiana. Tobias Gibson was a sugar planter, and married Louisiana Hart, a daughter of Nathaniel and Susannah (Preston) Hart, names conspicuous in. Kentucky history. It was during the ownership of Joseph A. Humphreys that Sumner's Forest became noted for its production and its home industries. He employed an expert gardener to plant orchards and vineyards, and made the farm notable for its livestock. He brought from Vermont the first celebrated Morgan race horses, including Mambrino Chief, from which the greatest of all horses are proud to trace lineage. "Nancy King" was a great brood mare in the Sumner's Forest stables. Mr. Humphreys introduced to that section of Kentucky the first portable steam engine, using it to replace horse power for threshing grain. He was a student, an observer, and had the courage to try out his advanced ideas. He lived in advance of his time, and many of his visions have since been realized in the time of his children. He made extensive enlargements and remodeled the old residence, nearly doubling its capacity. He added entirely new the library section. The possessor of ample means, as he traveled he collected articles of rare value in various countries and exemplifying the best handiwork of special artists. A large part of this collection is still preserved and now has a priceless value. While still unmarried and with no definite attachments, he secured while in Prague a full set of several hundred pieces of rare Bohemian cut glass, which he planned as a wedding present for his future wife. Doubtless this was the first of such work ever seen in Kentucky, and some of it is still in the old home. His collection also included paintings, ivory, jade carving and rare books, and many pieces of magnificent furniture, and practically all of them have special associations with the home and those of the family whose lives have been chiefly spent at Sumner's Forest. In the collection are coats of arms of a dozen related families and recorded in books of heraldry. Joseph A. Humphreys lived intensively and enjoyed the resources of the world as he passed through it. He died at the age of thirty-six in New York in 1863. His wife survived him nearly half a century and spent her last years at her father's old estate; Magnolia, in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. To their union were born five children. Of these Lucy Alexander became the wife of Lewis Johnstone in 1884, and for many years they have occupied Sumner's Forest. The second child, Louisiana Hart, died at an early age. Belle died in childhood. The other surviving daughter is Sarah Gibson, now Mrs. C. D. Chenault, of Lexington, and a joint owner of Sumner's Forest. They have two daughters, Sarah Gibson, who married G. D. Buckner, and Lucy Humphreys who married M. W. Anderson great-grandson of Henry Clay. The only son, Joseph A., Jr., is in the real estate business at Houma, Louisiana. He has one son Joseph A., III. Lewis Johnstone, who has given a practical direction to the management of Sumner's Forest as an agricultural property, is a native of South Carolina where his father was a rice planter. His father subsequently removed to Louisiana and became an extensive sugar grower. Mr. and Mrs. Johnstone have lived at Sumner's Forest since 1887 and he entered at once into the affairs of his community and to the promotion of the best interests of Kentucky. He is an extensive sheep grower has made tobacco a special crop of the farm, and is interested in the Fayette Tobacco Warehouse. Mr. Johnstone some years ago was prohibition candidate for Congress against W. C. P. Breckinridge, and the campaign served to bring the prohibition question squarely before the public.

At 24 years of age Sarah became the mother of Lucy Alexander Humphreys in Woodford Co., KY, May 22, 1854. At 25 years of age Sarah became the mother of Louisiana Hart Humphreys in "Woodburn", Woodford Co., KY, September 26, 1855. At 26 years of age Sarah became the mother of Isabella Hart Humphreys in Woodford Co., KY, November 29, 1856. At 27 years of age Sarah became the mother of Sarah Gibson Humphreys in Woodford Co., KY, March 21, 1858. At 29 years of age Sarah became the mother of Joseph Alexander Humphreys II in Woodford Co., KY, June 28, 1859. Sarah was listed as the head of a family on the 1870 Census in Woodford Co., KY. Sarah Humphreys is listed in the 1870 Census for Woodford County, Kentucky as a member of the household of Mary Dye (a sister of her deceased husband). Sarah is 64 with real estate worth $12,000, born in Kentucky which is incorrect. Mary Dye is listed as age 40 with real estate worth $100,000 and personal property worth $11,200. Also listed are the following blacks all named Gaines: Alfred, age 55, farm hand; Kitty, 40, cook; Mary 23, house servant; Alfred, 18, farm hand; Lance, 14, farm hand; Lucy, 12; Will, 10; Hannah, 8; Charles, 6; John, 4; and Ada, 1. All persons are listed as born in Kentucky. There is a biography of Sarah Gibson Humphreys, Sarah G. Humphreys: Antebellum Belle to Equal Rights Activist, 1830-1907, published in the Filson Club History Quarterly, Vo. 65, No. 2 (April, 1991) by Mary G. McBride and Ann M. McLaurin. This is too lengthy to copy and is under copyright. I will quote a few brief excerpts from it: "Although the biography of Sarah Thompson Gibson Humphreys seems to illustrate the development of a daughter of the planter class from antebellum belle to equal rights activist, by her own account Sarah was never intended by circumstances of heredity or education to be a conventional belle. Descended from a distinguished Southern family, Sarah was the daughter of Tobias Gibson of Mississippi and Louisiana Breckinridge Hart of Kentucky. In an undated autobiographical fragment written late in her life, Sarah described her mother, daughter of Nathaniel Hart and Susan Preston of "Spring Hill," Woodford County, Kentucky, as a woman of "masculine intellect, great force of character and strength of will." Of Tobias Gibson, Sarah wrote: My father Tobias Gibson came of a long line of clergymen who were the pioneers of Methodism in the South. My father was a man of accurate education, of unusual culture and of broad ideas, far in advance of his time. Although by inheritance a large slave owner he was at heart opposed to slavery. He was also that anomaly amongst Southern men a "Woman Suffragist." He believed and taught me to believe that "taxation without representation" was as unjust to women as to men and he educated me up to the idea that our advancing civilization would sooner or later demand not only the political enfranchisement of women but their equal share in the control of the government. The family divided its time between its Louisiana sugar plantations and its home in Lexington, Kentucky. Sarah's earliest memories were of the suffering of the Indians and the slaves. She described her mother's naming the town of Houma, Louisiana, in commemoration of the Indians who lived there and remembered "the straggling Indians of this tribe who used to come to my mother to exchange their beaded wares for food and blankets. My child's heart was always touched with sympathy for them as I listened to my mother's stories of their wrongs, suffered at the hands of the whites." Sarah felt "tenderest sympathy for the Negroes; in fact at that early age I so hated slavery of every kind that I constantly surprised our Negroes by refusing the birds, squirrels, fawns and young alligators which they brought to me for pets. I could not bear to see anything caged. ... Widowed at thirty-three, Sarah was left with three children, aged nine, five, and four, with a large estate to manage in the midst of a civil war in which four of her surviving five brothers were actively engaged. Her younger sister had been sent to France in late 1863 for the duration of the war while her father struggled to keep his plantation afloat in occupied Louisiana. She joined him there for a few months in 1864, for he was convinced that leaving his land meant losing it. Sarah observed at first hand her father's attempt to work with the Union commanders in establishing a labor system utilizing the former slaves whose legal status was still so ambiguous in Louisiana. The Federal provost marshall provided the Gibsons with a guard, but in March the Negroes rebelled and sixteen of them left the Gibson plantations for Tigerville and Houma. Soon after she returned to Kentucky, Sarah's father-in-law died, and she was left with few sources of advice and support. ... Sarah placed no credence whatsoever in the popular idea that men and women should occupy separate (and probably unequal) spheres: We need each other. God never intended that we should occupy different spheres. He did not put women in Venus and man in Mars or Jupiter. We find ourselves on this earth together--dependent one upon the other. We are born alike--we die alike. We should live alike. Sarah cited Biblical scholarship to argue that "God is male and female," noting that Arabic and Hebrew scholars revealed that the words for the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit were always feminine in the original texts. God thus created "the Almighty Us--male and female and called their name Adam--giving both the same name, being the same person- two in one, yet a unit." When the male and female Adam did not obey, God performed a second creation in which Adam was given form and woman created, "so that they might be company and help for each other." Sarah argued, however, that "only equal halves make a whole" and that equal rights were thus essential to both men and women. Just as she rejected the idea of separate spheres, Sarah denied the Victorian ideal of the "womanish woman." She expressed scorn for "conservative and conventional society ladies, and our weak-nerved, weak-kneed and weak-brained" ladies who could do nothing on their own and needed the protection of men. On an issue such as the use of firearms, for example, Sarah was contemptuous of women who did not know how to handle a gun. Some women, believing in chivalry rather than justice, pictured "men as knights.., wandering over the world with lance and battle ax in quest of foes to fight for her sweet sake." Not so, Sarah declared, for "the rustle of angel's wings possesses no terrors for mortal man. No, my dear sweet womanly women and lady-like sisters, it don't scare worth a cent." A good Smith and Wesson pistol is better protection than a pair of angel's wings, Sarah wrote, and "it is safer to fire a pistol than fly with your wings": My daughters and myself have lived for years alone in an isolated country home, both in Louisiana and Kentucky, and enjoyed a sense of perfect security from the fact that our pistols were always ready and in reach, and that we knew how to use them, and it was generally believed that we would use them, which knowledge is in itself a protection. Sarah argued that women should carry firearms even if the law did not sanction it. She concluded that "firearms in the hands of women will help to civilize our State.'' ...

She married Christopher David Chenault in Woodford Co., KY, March 30, 1892. Christopher was born Madison Co., KY May 22, 1846. Christopher was the son of Waller Chenault and Tillitha Harris. Christopher died April 24, 1925 in Lexington, KY, at 78 years of age. At 27 years of age Christopher became the father of Margaret Dillingham Chenault in Richmond, KY, June 24, 1873. At 30 years of age Christopher became the father of Joseph Chenault in Richmond, KY, February 22, 1877. At 35 years of age Christopher became the father of Kittie Chenault January 10, 1882. At 46 years of age Christopher became the father of Sarah Gibson Humphreys Chenault in Richmond, KY, March 25, 1893. At 50 years of age Christopher became the father of Lucy Alexander Humphreys Chenault in Richmond, KY, January 17, 1897. The biography of Christopher David Chenault from History of Kentucky, Vol. III, (S.J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1928) follows: Lexington is a monument to the combined efforts of many men of determination, enterprise and ability and in this classification belonged Christopher David Chenault, who was long numbered among the city's leading financiers. He was a railroad builder as well, and a recognized leader in political circles of Kentucky. He was a man of resourceful nature, varied talents and pronounced public spirit, and his was a successful career in the highest sense of the term. Mr. Chenault was born May 22, 1846, in Madison county, Kentucky, and was a member of one of the oldest families of the south. He was a descendant of Stephen Chenault, who was a follower of John Calvin and owing to religious persecution left his home in southern France about 1700 in company with his wife. He was the founder of the family in America and was one of the colony of two hundred Huguenots who received from the colonial government of Virginia a grant of land in Monikin Town, then in Powhattan county, but now included within the boundaries of Goochland county. From that original seat they and others of the same extraction have spread to all parts of the country, winning respect and honor wherever they have gone. Among the children of Stephen Chenault was Hugo, whose son, Hugo, Jr., married a Miss Dabney or D'Aubigne. They were the parents of William Chenault, who chose Elizabeth Mullins as his wife, and their son, William, Jr., married Susanna Phelps. They became the parents of Waller Chenault, who was joined in wedlock to Talitha Harris, and to their union was born a son, Christopher David Chenault. Talitha Harris was a daughter of Overton and Nancy Harris. When Henry Clay made his famous speech on home industries while a member of the United States senate he wore a suit of jeans, fashioned for him by Nancy Harris. They were composed of wool sheared from sheep presented to her by Senator Clay, and she spun the wool, wove the cloth and made the suit. When but five years old Mr. Chenault received instruction from Governor McCullough, and his studies were continued under John L. Waller at Green Hill Academy, a school located on the home farm and built especially by his father, General C. M. Clay, Samuel Bennett and Joseph Chenault for the education of their children. He was next taught by William and Jason W. Chenault and completed his education at Harrodsburg, Kentucky, at the age of fifteen. The Civil war was then in progress and the battle of Richmond had been won by Kirby Smith. Having resolved to enter the Confederate army as a member of Chenault's Brigade, he went as far as Richmond at the time of the retreat from Kentucky, but was persuaded by his brother, Captain Joe Chenault, to return home and care for his mother and the fanlily of six younger children. After the southern army retreated the federal authorities ordered his arrest and, acting on information given him by his cousin, John Bennett, Mr. Chenault left immediately for Ohio. He completed a course in bookkeeping and banking at the Bartlett Commercial College in Cincinnati and as soon as it was safe returned home. He took charge of the books of Burton & Holloway, owners of a large dry goods establishment in Richmond, but the work proved uncongenial and he returned to the farm. He abandoned agricultural pursuits in 1870 and entered the Madison National Bank at Richmond in the capacity of bookkeeper. His worth was soon recognized and at the end of two years he was promoted to the responsible position of cashier, which he filled for about thirty years. In 1902 he brought his family to Lexington and soon afterward became cashier of the National Exchange Bank, which was subsequently merged with the Central Bank. The new organization started with a capital of six hundred thousand dollars and adopted the name of the Lexington Bank & Trust Company, of which Mr. Chenault was chosen cashier. He gave to the corporation the services of an expert and his connection with the institution brought to it additional prestige. Subsequently the business was consolidated with that of the Phoenix National Bank under the style of the Phoenix Third National Bank, which is now one of the largest and strongest financial institutions in the state. On August 1, 1872, Mr. Chenault married Miss Florence Dillingham, who died in February, 1890, leaving a family of four children: Margaret, Joe, Florrie and Kittie. On March 30, 1892, Mr. Chenault was united in marriage to Miss Sallie Gibson Humphreys, who is a member of one of the first families of Woodford county, and resides in their attractive home at 461 North Limestone street, Lexington. Like most of his family, Mr. Chenault was a strong adherent of the Baptist faith and for a number of years was superintendent of the Sunday school of his church at Richmond, also acting as moderator of the Tates Creek Association at the old Gilberts Creek church. In politics he was a stalwart democrat and never wavered in his allegiance to the party. He was chairman of the Madison county democratic committee and during the entire term of Congressman James B. McCreary was chairman of the eighth congressional district. He was made financial commissioner of Madison county and was largely instrumental in building the railroad from Paris to Livingston, also the line from Versailles to Beattyville, becoming its president. He was an executive of more than average capacity and about twenty years of his life were devoted to the development of railroad facilities that transformed Estill and Lee counties into two of the most prosperous in the state. He gave his best efforts to every task that he undertook and the spirit of progress actuated him at all points in his career. He had the welfare of his community deeply at heart and was ever ready to further plans for its improvement. He possessed that high sense of honor which constitutes the vital essence of the gentleman, and his death on April 23, 1925, deprived Lexington of one of its most valuable and best loved citizens.

At 35 years of age Sarah became the mother of Sarah Gibson Humphreys Chenault in Richmond, KY, March 25, 1893. At 38 years of age Sarah became the mother of Lucy Alexander Humphreys Chenault in Richmond, KY, January 17, 1897. The resolution honoring her by the Booneborough Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution follows: Resolution - Madam Regent and Members of the Boonesborough Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution: Again this body is called upon to mourn the departure of a member - Mrs. Sarah Gibson Humphreys Chenault entered upon the life eternal at her residence 416 North Limestone, Lexington, Kentucky, on Sunday evening, February 23rd, 1930, at 7:30 o'clock, after an illness of seven months, surrounded by her devoted family - She was the widow of Col. Christopher D. Chenault, who she survived five years. Mrs. Sarah Gibson Humphreys Chenault was born at "Sumner's Forest", Woodford Co., Kentucky, March 21st, 1858. "Sumner's Forest" was a grant to her pioneer ancestor of several thousand acres and included in its boundaries as fine land as is to be found in the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. It continues in the family today. The mansion is of sun dried brick and it was erected for the most part, in the 1700s. The window seats show the walls to be three feet thick. A library room of magnificent proportions was added to the house by the father of Mrs. Chenault - Joseph Alexander Humphreys, who was a scholarly gentleman, and traveled extensively in Europe and the Orient, in search of health, bringing home with him valuable works of art, of which may be mentioned a banquet service of red Bohemian glass of many hundred pieces. The mahogany furnishings and the massive silver plate which entered into the making of this ancestral home were not surpassed by any other home of the Blue Grass. Mrs. Chenault was the daughter of Joseph Alexander Humphreys and his wife, Miss Sarah Gibson who was educated at Madame Segoyne's School of Philadelphia, famous a century ago as a school for young ladies. On the paternal side, she was a lineal descendant of the celebrated Dr. Alexander Humphreys of Staunton, Va. Dr. Humphreys was a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, the most renowned school of medicine in the English speaking world, when he was a student there in the 1700s - and during the century following. Mrs. Robert S. Todd, the stepmother of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln was a Miss Humphreys and a great aunt of Mrs. Sarah Gibson Humphreys Chenault. Mrs. Chenault was also a lineal descendant of Col. Wm. Preston, Capt. John McKinley, Capt. Nathaniel Hart and Capt. Matthew Scott of the Revolutionary period, as the records of the Boonesborough Chapter bear testimony. These were among the first to preempt lands in this halcyon country, known as the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. Capt. Nathaniel Hart was President of the Transylvania Co., for which Fort Boonesborough was erected in 1775. He was killed by Indians and he and his wife are buried near the Site of Fort Boonesborough. Through all of these lines of ancestry she was related to families who were leaders in the making of the early history of this Commonwealth - the Harts, the Scotts, the Prestons, the Humphreys, and the Gibsons. On thc maternal side the Gibsons were an influential and wealthy family in the vicinity of Lexington, during the past century - and gave to the country - the Hon. Randall Gibson, U. S. Senator from Louisiana - a brother of Mrs. Chenault's mother, Mrs. Sarah Gibson Humphreys, who was herself a remarkably gifted woman of her day. Mrs. Chenault was educated in the schools of Versailles, Ky.; at Sayre College, Lexington, Ky.; and at the Boston Conservatory of Music. After completing her education, and with an enviable record of distinguished ancestory, reaching back into Virginia's most brilliant Colonial period, and beyond - she entered upon a brilliant social career; entertaining distinguished guests at "Sumner's. Forest" with the lavish hospitality of ante-bellum days; traveling extensively; and spending seasons at a time at the home of her uncle, Senator Gibson, in Washington City; at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Mary Humphreys Dye in New Jersey where she added to the social diversions, elective courses at Rutgers College - and at the home of her uncle Senator Gibson, in New Orleans-. During these years, possessing a certain executive gift, inherited direct from her ancestors, she took over the management of her landed estate, which she conducted in both an able and profitable manner; thus adding to the interest of her delightful home and the exceptional family life at "Sumner's Forest." On March 30th, 1892, she was married to Col. Christopher D. Chenault of Richmond Ky. The wedding was celebrated at the Episcopal Charch in Versailles in the evening--and was a brilliant event. Col. Chenault was, President at this time of the R. N. I. and B. R. R. and many friends from Richmond went over for the wedding in his private car. During the ten years following their marriage their home in Richmond, the superb old colonial mansion on Main St. now known as the Gibson Hospital, was the scene of constant and elegant entertaining. Here, in these beautiful parlors, with the shadows from the open fires falling across the rare pieces of mahogany and valuable family portraits and in the soft light on many candles - the Boonesborough Chapter was organized in the Spring of 1896 - by Mrs. Chenault. She became its first Regent in which capacity she served from 1896 to 1905. I love to think of her not only as our first Regent - but as the Founder of our Boonesborough Chapter, for to her is wholly due, the organization of the Chapter, and that enthusiasm and vision which steered the Chapter thru the first years and placed it on the firm foundation which has led on to usefulness. It was Mrs. Chenault who not only gave to the Boonesborough Chapter a notable position in the National Body of the D.A.R. but who also gave prestige to the D.A. R. of the Commonwealth of Ky., drawing into the organlzation ladies of like prominence and talent as herself. She belonged first to the National Society D.A.R. - her number 7789. She was elected State Regent of the D.A.R. of Ky., in 1907, having been nominated at the State Convention at Paris by Mrs. A. R. Burnam - and served until 1909. Here her executive ability was manifest and she made an excellent State Regent. The organization was greatly strengthened during her term of three years. She also filled out the unexpired term of Mrs. Samuel J. Shackelford who died in office 1919-20. In 1921 she was elected Vice-President General of the N. S. D.A. R., her term expiring 1924. She greatly enjoyed her association with the members of the National Organization and upon her visits to Washington to attend the Board Meetings she was much feted by her relatives and friends, among them Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, Ex-President General, N.S.D.A.R., who entertained in her honor at her distinguished home in Washington on several occasions. Not the least of Mrs. Chenault's cherished remembrances of her service were two silver loving cups, beautifully inscribed and presented to her upon her retirement as State Regent of Kentucky and Vice-President General N. S.D.A.R. In 1901, Col. and Mrs. Chenault took up their residence in Lexington, Ky., where they owned and occupied the superb home at 461 North Limestone, known as the Brand Place [better known now as "Rose Hill"]. Here the Boonesborough Chapter was entertained by Mrs. Chenault on several occasions - our last visit being on June 5th, 1925 when Lexington celebrated its Sequi-Centennial and the Boonesborough Chapter represented by two magnificent floats, having taken part in the great Parade, spread its elegant luncheon the beautiful terrace of her residence at her invitation. In all of her work and she was identified througout life with many civic and educational movements, for the betterment of mankind, in addition to her interest in the D.A.R. - She had the cordial assistance of her husband, Col. Chenault. - She always espoused the cause of the weak - she therefore early espoused the cause of equal rights and suffrage for women. She was an officer in the Humane.Society of Lexington and saw that dumb animals were kindly treated. She was on the side of every movement for Civic uplift. She was an opener of doors of opportunity to others. It would be interesting to know how many through the kindliness and influence of this gentlewoman passed through doors opened by her to lives of more extended usefulness. These beneficiaries of her gracious thoughtfulness, many of them, have in turn delighted to do her honor. She had a great capacity for friendship. Her hospitality was always delightful - and her entertaining both at the home in Richmond, and at the home in Lexington, both. houses so much alike that they must have been designed by the same architect - has added much to the social annals of the State. The weddings of her two daughters, celebrated at Christ Church Cathedral, and followed by receptions at the home in Lexington, were most beautiful occasions - never to be forgotten. She filled all relations of life with fine courage. The militant strain was very pronounced in her make-up. A daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a friend; - a Christian, a patrician, a patriot; - a D.A.R.; a Colonial Dame; an Episcopalian! She knew the light of social acclaim and she received homage of which the world was perhaps ignorant. "Let me grow lovely, growing old; so many things to do; Laces and ivory and gold; and silks need not be new; And. there is healing in old trees - old streets a glamor hold; Why may not I , as well. as these, grow lovely growing old?" Lovely in youth, mature years found her even lovelier.Her name will ever be hallowed to all who knew the radiance of her exceptional nature. We would place upon the records of the Boonesborough Chapter, this tribute of our respect and affection for our Founder and first Regent - Mrs. Sarah Gibson Humphreys Chenault - and also send copies to the daughters; Mrs. Davis Buckner and Mrs. Wm. Anderson of Lexington; and to her sister, Mrs. Lewis Johnstone and her brother, Mr. Joseph A. Humphreys of "Sunmer's Forest". (Signed) - Katherine Phelps Caperton (Chairman) Jennie W.
