Below is a sample of a family biography included in The History Kentucky, Edition 8b by W. H. Perrin, J. H. Battle, G. C. Kniffen; and published by F. A. Battey and Company in 1888. These biographies are valuable for genealogy research in discovering missing ancestors or filling in the details in a family tree. Family biographies often include far more information than can be found in a census record or obituary. Details will vary with each biography but will often include the date and place of birth, parent names including mothers' maiden name, name of wife including maiden name, her parents' names, name of children (including spouses if married), former places of residence, occupation details, military service, church and social organization affiliations, and more. There are often ancestry details included that cannot be found in any other type of genealogical record.

R. S. SCOBEE, a native of Clark County, Ky., was born December 10, 1854, and is the youngest of a family of five children born to Robert and Lucy (Pendleton) Scobee. Robert Scobee, also a native of Clark County, was an enterprising farmer who devoted the whole of his life to agricultural pursuits; he was a son of Robert Scobee, who was a miller, distiller and farmer. Mrs. Lucy Scobee was born in Clark County, Ky., a daughter of Rice Pendleton. R. S. Scobee was reared on a farm and received a common-school education; he chose farming for an occupation and has always been engaged in that pursuit, devoting considerable time to stock-raising. He is largely interested in threshing machines, and threshes more wheat every year than any other one man in the State of Kentucky, having a reputation for honesty and fair dealing with his patrons. In farming he makes a specialty of raising wheat. December 14, 1876, he married Miss Dec Bratton, of Clark County, a daughter of David and Sallie A. (Evans) Bratton. To this union have been born two children: Davis S., born October 10, 1877, and Robert H., born June 19, 1879. Mr. Scobee and his wife are strict members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. He owns 250 acres of fine land, and is a Democrat in politics. Mr. Scobee is held in high esteem at home and by those who know him most intimately throughout the State.

This family biography is one of 557 biographies included in The History Kentucky, Edition 8b published in 1888. For the complete description, click here: The History Kentucky, Edition 8b
