• Notes

  Early in life, he connected himself in business in Old Maysville, and at that time the firm with which he was connected bought up and slaughtered hogs of the surrounding county, built flat boats on the Little Wabash River and packed the products. When the river had its annual rise, the boats were floated out into the Big Wabash, then to the Ohio and on to the Mississippi and then to New Orleans.
