Our subject's grandfather, William Guy, was a native of South Carolina, and one of the pioneers of Kentucky; he located in Warren, now Allen County, where he passed the remainder of his life. George Wagoner, a native of North Carolina, came to Kentucky at an early day. He died about the year 1854. William Guy was four years of age when his mother died; he was reared in the home of his grandfather, Wagoner. He obtained a fair common school education, which he has improved by his contact with the affairs of life. His marriage took place December 15, 1859, with Martha Jane, daughter of Jackson and Susan Morgan, who were natives of Kentucky, from which State they removed to Missouri, where they remained for about nine years, and while residents of that State their daughter, Martha J., was born. Mrs. Morgan died in 1879, aged about sixty-two years. Jackson Morgan was born in 1819, and is now sixty-six years of age. William Guy, before his marriage, purchased eighty acres of land which he paid for by his own labor, and has added to at different times, until he is now the owner of 250 acres of good land, which he has brought to a fine state of cultivation, and improved with good, comfortable dwelling, barns, orchards, etc. He is somewhat connected with the stock trade, and owns some fine grazing land. He is a Democrat, and takes some interest in politics, but is no aspirant to political honors. He is a patron of schools, and takes a pride in the education of his children, of whom ten are now living, viz.: Olivie [sic], Charles P., Robert, Susan, Otie, Lady, Harry, Myrtle, Proctor and Toy. Mrs. Guy is a member of the Methodist Church. He bases his religious views on the "sacred rights of man" and strict integrity in business transactions.
