W. M. CLAYPOOL, M. D., is a representative of one of the old families of 
Warren County.  His father, Hon. Elijah Claypool, was born in this county 
in 1808, on Big Barren River, and is the son of Stephen Claypool, who 
was a Virginian, and who came to Kentucky in the pioneer days of the 
State, and was a great Indian fighter.  The Claypool family is traced to 
three brothers, David, George and John, who came to America from 
Scotland prior to the Revolutionary war.  The father of Dr. Claypool 
married, in 1840, Jane Burnett.  He was colonel for many years of the 
State militia, and represented Warren County in the Kentucky General 
Assembly in 1849-50.  Dr. Claypool received a good common education at 
the schools of this county.  For a number of years he taught school.  In 
1859 he began the study of medicine under the direction of Dr. B. P. 
Claypool, of this county.  In 1862 he enlisted in the Federal Army, in 
Company A, of the Thirty-Second Kentucky Infantry.  At the organization 
of the company he was elected first lieutenant and held that position 
until 1864, when he was discharged.  For three years after the war he 
engaged in the planing-mill business.  During the winter of 1873-74 he 
attended medical lectures at Bellevue Hospital, in New York City.  He 
graduated from the medical department of the university at Nashville, 
Tenn., in 1875.  Since that time he was continued the practice of his 
profession in this city.  He married, in 1864, Hettie Barclay, daughter 
of Samuel Barclay.  They have six children:  Samuel B., Elijah, William 
D., Bettie V., Sarah P. and Woodford P.  The Doctor is a Democrat and a 
member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
