Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 6th ed., 1887,
Henry Co.

DUDLEY J. SHOUSE was born in Woodford County, Ky., May 30, 1819, the
youngest of seven children born to Thomas and Susan (Duvall) Shouse. Thomas
was a native of South Carolina, and a son of John Shouse, of the same
State, who came to Kentucky at any early date, settled in Woodford County,
and lived there, a farmer, the remainder of his life.  Thomas participated
in the battle of Tippecanoe, under Gen. Harrison, was badly wounded in that
battle, and, though he lived for some years, died from the effects.  Our
subject was brought up on a farm, and in early life attended the common
country schools, and later the Marion College at Marion, Mo.  In 1839 he
came to Henry County, and devoted himself to school teaching.  April 21,
1845, he was married to Mary A. Combs, a daughter of William W. and Nancy
(Sandford) Combs, a well known and highly respected family of Henry County.
To this union have been born ten children--four daughters and six sons:
Mary V., William T., James., Nannie, Daniel, Sanford T., Newton C., Fannie,
Ernest and Sophronia.  Daniel and Sanford T. are dead; Earnest is now a
student at the Baptist Theological Seminary and will graduate in theology
in 1888.  Our subject purchased land in Henry County in 1846, and has
since lived on same.  He now owns 200 acres of valuable land, which is well
improved, in Sulphur, Henry County.  He was in the employ of the United
States Government for more than twenty-five years, as an internal revenue
officer until 1886, when he resigned the duties of his position.  He and
all his family are members of the Baptist Church.  He is a Master Mason.
Politically he is a Republican, but was formerly a Whig.
