Mr. Bowers received some literary instruction both in Davidson and Montgomery Counties, and when twenty-one years of age, on Dec. 26, 1822, he mar- ried Sally Lassiter. Immediately after their mar- riage he commenced farming on the same place where, after fifty-seven years of harmonious married life, they now reside. Their family consists of six living children,-William, Lynville, Caroline, John, Mar- tha, and Sally,-all of whom, except John, live within three miles of the old homestead. The de- scendants of Mr. and Mrs. Bowers, including chil- dren, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, num- ber over one hundred.
Mr. Bowers has always been a quiet, unpretentious man, a good farmer and citizen, and has been justice of the peace in his district for over twenty years, during which time his decisions have been noted for their justice, yet justice tempered with mercy. He has always endeavored to act as peacemaker rather than agitator, and now as his long life draws near its close he is reverenced and loved by his neighbors and friends as one who has lived a worthy, honorable, and useful life.

DR. JESSE HENRY JORDAN.
MRS. JESSE HENRY JORDAN.
DR. JESSE HENRY JORDAN.
The paternal ancestry of Dr. Jesse Henry Jordan were Irish. They came to this country at a very early day and settled in Davidson County.
His grandfather, Meredith Jordan, immigrated to Tennessee from North Carolina, settled within ten miles of Nashville, and engaged in farming. His father, Benjamin Jordan, was married to Miss Louisa Brown. Their children were eight in number.
Jesse H., the youngest son, was born in Davidson County, March 24, 1838. His advantages for an education were not of the best, but by dint of hard study he was enabled to graduate at the Nashville University, in 1864, with the degree of M.D. He began the practice of his profession at Sam's Creek, Cheatham Co., remaining but one year, and then moving to Davidson County, where he now lives.
In November, 1865, he was married to Miss Nan- nie, eldest daughter of W. D. and Elizabeth (Cato) Simpkins. His first wife dying two years after marriage, he married for his second wife her sister, Miss Bettie Simpkins, Sept. 28, 1869. Their chil-
dren are H. Shelly, Nannie B., Leslie, Willie D. (de- ceased), and an infant son.
W. D. Simpkins died May 13, 1871, at the age of fifty-five. He was the son of Orman A. and Nancy Simpkins, who were of the earliest settlers. W. D. Simpkins was a farmer and dealer in live-stock, turning his attention in his latter days more particu- larly to fat stock, acquiring most of his wealth in this business. He was a most enterprising and pub- lic-spirited man, and successful in all his undertak- ings. He was very benevolent and charitable, giving liberally to endowment funds. He built entirely of his own means the Cumberland Pres- byterian Church, in the Twenty-third District of Davidson County, with which he became connected while yet a young man, remaining a member until his death. In all his walk he was an honorable, upright man and Christian gentleman. With no advantages in his youth, yet by close observation and attentive reading he became a well-informed man. In politics he was Democratic.

MRS. JACOB M. MAYO.
JACOB M. MAYO.
JACOB M. MAYO.
Jacob M. Mayo was born in Fluvanna Co., Va., June 22, 1812. His ancestors were of English origin, and emigrated to this country away back in the days of the first settlements. Mr. Mayo received a com- mon-school education. Shortly after attaining his majority he came to Davidson County, and engaged as teacher. This occupation he continued for several years with success, winning friends and popularity.
In 1844, Mr. Mayo concluded to change his busi- ness to lumbering, and built a saw-mill in the Twenty- fourth District of Davidson County, and from that time to the present he has been engaged in lumber- ing, carrying on farming at the same time quite extensively.
In 1848, Mr. Mayo was married to Mary Ann Holt, daughter of Henry Holt, an early settler of Davidson County, and a participant with Gen. Jackson in the Creek war and war of 1812. For the past nineteen years this worthy couple have re- sided on the homestead of about four hundred acres in the Twenty-fourth District of Davidson County.
They have had fifteen children,-Tennessee, born in 1848; Henry Valentine, born Jan. 3, 1850, died June 24, 1873; Mary Ann, born March 31, 1851; Sarah Jane, born June 11, 1852, died Dec. 18, 1875; Amanda, born Jan. 10,1854; Catherine, born Jan. 22,
1859; Ellen, born May 11, 1860; Elizabeth, born March 24, 1862; Jackson J., born July 22, 1863; Joanna and Josephine (twins), born Oct. 3, 1865; George, born April 15, 1867; Susannah Isabel, born in August, 1869, died July 4, 1872. Of these, four- Tennessee, Henry V., Sarah J., and Amanda-are married.
In politics Mr. Mayo was in old times a Whig, but has latterly affiliated with the Democrats. Mr. Mayo has been identified prominently for over forty years with the Methodist Church, and has ever been found one of its most liberal supporters, and his house the home of the itinerants. In all of his varied business transactions Mr. Mayo has deserved and won the confidence of the community in a pre-eminent de- gree for honesty, fair dealing, and integrity, and no one has had reason to doubt his word or to complain of an act of injustice. Frank and outspoken him- self, he has an admiration for the same qualities in others. His desire to oblige others has frequently caused him personal inconvenience, yet to-day no man is more true to a friend, or a more staunch adherent to a person or cause deemed by him deserving, than is he. He enjoys an active life, and as the result of the labor of years he has the satisfaction of possess- ing a handsome competency.

FRANK M. McINTOSH.
Frank M. McIntosh, was of Scottish descent, his ancestry being early settlers in Illinois. His grand- father was John McIntosh, whose third son, also named John, was the father of Frank. Frank's father was born Oct. 15, 1794, in Fayette Co., Ky. He was a soldier under Gen. Harrison, and was present at the death of the celebrated Indian war- rior Tecumseh at the battle of the Thames. He was married June 9, 1817, to Miss Sarah Cowley, of Baltimore. Their children were Henry A., Plum- mer B., Mary A., John W., Frank M., Lucy H., and Joseph C.
John McIntosh immigrated with his family to Tennessee about the year 1828, having been there himself previously, and assisted in the building of the first jail in Nashville. At the time of his mar- riage he could not read, but acquired this accomplish- ment of his wife, and in his maturer years was a man of fine intelligence, possessing much general information gleaned from reading and observation. Having experience acquired in the management of a similar institution in Kentucky, he was placed in charge of the State Prison in Nashville when there was but a single prisoner. This position he retained for more than thirty years, performing the varied duties of the trust with singular fidelity, and with great satisfaction to the people and profit to the State of many thousands of dollars, resigning the place when it became evident that his advanced years and declining health prevented him from performing the duties of the office with his wonted vigor. He
was one of the most efficient members of the First Baptist Church, Nashville, its elder for many years, and contributed liberally to its support. In politics he was a Jacksonian Democrat. He died June 1, 1859, at his plantation in Louisiana, leaving a con- siderable fortune, which, however, had been ma- terially diminished by unfortunate contracts on the Chattanooga Railroad.
Frank M. McIntosh was born in Frankfort, Ky., April 1, 1827. He enjoyed superior educational ad- vantages, and at the age of fifteen was employed as clerk by Col. A. W. Johnson, with whom he re- mained about nine years, when he embarked in the mercantile business on his own account as a wholesale and retail grocer. Unfortunately, at the end of one year, in which his business had prospered, his entire stock was burned, and as the company in which he was insured was insolvent, he lost every dollar. Very soon afterwards he was appointed deputy United States marshal, a position he kept until the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion. Nov. 11, 1857, he was married to Eliza J., eldest daughter of Henry Menees, of Davidson County. Their children were John, Henry P., and Lucy. His first wife dying, he married for his second her sister, Miss Ellen Menees. July 8, 1863. Their children have been Elizabeth, Henry, Frank W., Sally, Mary, and Harvest.
Henry Menees' ancestors were pioneer settlers. His mother was a relative of Gen. Coffee, of Revo- lutionary fame, also one of Jackson's officers at the battle of New Orleans.

MR. J. W. HOWINGTON.
MRS. J. W. HOWINGTON.
J. W. HOWINGTON.
James White Howington is third son of Wil- lis Howington, of Newport, Tenn., where James was born Aug. 1, 1810. His mother's name was Catherine Johnson, daughter of Noel Johnson, of Granville Co., N. C.
Willis Howington was a soldier in the war of 1812-14, was reported as missing, and, as he was never afterwards heard of, was probably killed.
James W. Howington, when but a mere lad, was apprenticed to one Joel Van Ney, who kept a tavern in Wilksboro'.
At the age of eighteen he went to Murray Co., Tenn., remaining one year engaged in farming. From there he went to New .Orleans, where he made his home for three years or more while he followed boating on the Mississippi.
In 1836 he came to Davidson County, and the same year, August 8th, he was married to Rachel, fourth daughter of Elisha and Catherine Rhodes. Their children were James, Harvey, and Sarah A. (deceased). His first wife died Oct. 8, 1839. Jan. 5, 1840, he was married to Mary A., eldest daughter
of Henry and Jemima McNeill, of Williamson County. By this union ten children have been born,-namely, Permelia, Margaret, William Cave (deceased), Knox Polk (deceased), Rachael, Martha, Nancy (deceased), Andrew J., Francis Marion, one dying in infancy.
Mr. Howington's business has combined the branches of farming and milling. In 1847 he bought six hundred acres of heavy timber-land, which later purchases increased to fifteen hundred acres, the number he now owns. For the conver- sion of this timber into lumber, in 1850 he built a steam saw-mill, which he carried on for nine years.
Mr. and Mrs. Howington are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, to the support of which they liberally contribute, and of which Mr. Howington has been an elder for many years.
Now in the seventieth year of his age, Mr. How- ington can say with pride that he has never during his long life used tobacco in any way or drank a glass of liquor.

FELIX GRUNDY EARTHMAN.
Felix Grundy Earthman is of German descent. His paternal grandfather, Isaac Earthman, was a native of Germany, but emigrated to the United States of America more than a century ago, and about the close of the last century came to Davidson Co., Tenn. His sons were Lewis, John, James, Henry, and Isaac; and his daughters were Sally, Mary, and Nancy. Lewis is the father of Felix G. Earthman, whose portrait is presented above. He was one of the hardy, active, chase-loving pioneer farmers of the county, and lived and died on the farm now occupied by his grandson, William L. Earthman. His family consisted of three sons and two daughters,-John H., Andrew J., Jane, Felix G., and Mary E. Felix was born March 17, 1821. He received at the com- mon schools of his district the rudiments of an edu- cation, and when he had attained a proper age at- tended law school at Franklin, Tenn., and graduated with honor. Though Mr. Earthman never practiced the profession for which he had qualified himself, yet the knowledge he had thus acquired was of the greatest service to him in after-life in the pursuit to which he chiefly devoted himself,-i.e., that of farmer, lumberman, and trader, in which he was extensively engaged all his life.
On Aug. 6, 1845, he married Mary Ann Wil- kinson, daughter of William Wilkinson, and step-
daughter of Gilbert Marshall, both early settlers of Davidson County. To them were born two chil- dren,-William Lewis and Mary Ann, the latter of whom died in her fourteenth year.
In politics Mr. Earthman was an "old-line Whig," and always advocated the principles and interests of his party strongly; in fact, he was the leading spirit in political matters in his district. Though relig- iously inclined, and a man of good morals generally, yet he never connected himself with any church organization.
He was justice of the peace for many years, was lieutenant-colonel of militia, and enjoyed the con- fidence and esteem of the large circle of acquaint- ances and friends with whom his extensive business transactions brought him in contact. He died on the 21st day of August, 1873.
His only son, William L. Earthman, was born May 27, 1846. On May 29, 1875, he married Mary M. Ferrell; they have three children,-Nellie, Grundy, and Mary Ann. He resides on the old homestead of his father, engaged in farming and merchandising. He inserts this portrait and biog- raphy of his father as a monument to the memory of one who ever proved himself a worthy citizen, a genial companion, a warm-hearted, constant friend, an honorable man, and a devoted, kind father.
