JONATHAN TURLEY, is a native of this
township, born May 2, 1827, son of Benjamin and Parmelia
(Wright) Turley. The grandparents came early to
Barren County, Ky., and in 1824 to this county, locating at
Palestine. Here the grandfather, Aaron, died.
One of his children was Benjamin, the father of
Jonathan. The father married Miss Wright of
Orange County; was a prominent and useful citizen and
farmer; was an Old Line Whig and a Republican, and was once
Captain of Militia. Ten of his twelve children grew
up. Jonathan is a self made man. His
youth was spent on the farm and in attendance at the
subscription schools. He selected the occupation of
farming and his success is shown by his 430 acres and
comfortable home. In 1879 he began the distillation of
brandy and some whisky, making from 600 to 1,800 gallons per
year. Dec. 29, 1849, he married Julia A. Hall,
who was born in this county in 1828. They have four
children: Mary F. Sarah J., Robert B. and Eliza A.
Mr. Turley is a Republican. The mill is known as
Daisy Spring Mill, and is doing a good business as it did in
early times. Mr. Turley is just commencing to
burn lime on an extensive scale. He is an industrious
and prosperous man.
