History of Trigg County, Historical and Biographical, ed. W.H. Perrin, F.A. Battey Pub. Co., Chicago, 1884. pp. 268-69. [Wallonia Precinct] E. E. WASH was born April 3, 1843, in Simpson County, Ky. He is a son of W. O. and Frances B. (Goodlette) Wash. The former was born in 1808, in Kentucky; he died November 21, 1880. The latter was also born in Kentucky. She died January 17, 1876, in Wallonia, aged sixty-one. Our subject was brought to Trigg County with his parents when young, and on attaining his majority, engaged in agricultural pursuits on his own account. In 1876 he came to his present farm, consisting then of 125 acres. He has since added to these possessions as his circumstances would admit, and now owns about 400 acres, and is considered one of the best farmers in the precinct. Mr. Wash was married May 2, 1877, to Miss Nannie Boyd, daughter of William Boyd. This union has been blessed with two children.
