J. N. MARSH, farmer, P. O. Paris; born in this precinct March 26, 1845,
the eldest son of Benedict Beal Marsh, born in this precinct 1808, who
was the youngest son of Beal Marsh and Eleanor Corbin, who were
natives of Maryland.  This ancient couple settled here in Bourbon
county, in the latter part of the last century.  His settlement was near
Paris, on the farm now owned by his grandson, B. B.  Six children were
born to Benedict B., the eldest was Dryden, who was born 1798; then
Abram C., Nicholas C., Thomas K., Rachel and Benedict B.; all live to be
grown.  The parents of the above died as follows: Beal, Nov. 5, 1835;
his wife Eleanor, May 19, 1810.  The father of Nicholas, our subject, was
raised on the farm, but this not being satisfactory to him as a business,
he went to Philadelphia, where he learned the trade of silversmith,
which he followed several years at Flemingsburg; then went to Richmond,
this State; afterward removed to Paris, where he associated with his
brother, Thomas K., in the same business, which continued for several
years; he finally located on the homestead owned and settled by his
father.  He then engaged in farming, and continued until his retirement
from business.  His death occurred 1875, his wife, four years later.
Four children were born them, viz: J. Nicholas, Beal G., Thomas K. and
Benedict B., also one daughter who died aged fifteen.  Nicholas, whose
name heads this page, was married May 22, 1866, to Anna Steele, born in
St. Louis, Mo., daughter of Dr. William Steele; a native of Bourbon
County.  Soon after the marriage he removed to the farm he now owns,
which is located on the Maysville Pike.  is farms consists of 384 acres
and well improved, having excellent buildings thereon.  He is engaged in
the breeding and raising of short horn cattle and Cotswold sheep.  Six
children have been born to him, whose names are, Eleanor R., Thomas K.,
