WESLEY HOGGINS was born in Bourbon County, Ky., May 16, 1810.  His father,
Solomon Hoggins, was a native of Maryland, who settled near where Paris,
Ky., now stands, and reared eight children, of whom two only are now
living: Wesley and Mrs. Delia Kirby, of Warsaw, Ky.  Wesley Hoggins, was
reared a farmer, and lived in Bourbon County until 1848, when he removed
to Kenton County, and thence, in 1868, to Florence, Boone County, where
he still resides, and owns two fine farms of upward of 550 acres within
the county limits.  In 1836 he married Rebecca Shawan, a daughter of
Joseph and Sarah Shawan of Harrison County.  To this union twelve children
have been born, of whom one died in infancy, and one at the age of
thirty-three years.  The names of the surviving ten are as follows: Sarah,
Mary (now Mrs. Graves), Bettie, Ann (now Mrs. Givens), B. F., John, Henry,
Emma (now Mrs. Tucker), Fannie and Minnie.  Mrs. Hoggins died in 1876 at
the age of sixty years.  Mr. Hoggins is now and has always been a stanch
Democrat.
