- In a book compiled by Raymond DeWeese (1992) The County of Butler
in the Commonwealth of KY 1810-1814 Taken from Order Book A & Circuit
Court Order Books A & B", page 13: The County Court recommended for
Justice of the Peace in the room of Hugh Marrs who resigned, Temple
Davis & William Marrs. As for Justice of the Peace in the room of
Thomas Lawrence who resigned, they recommended Jonathan Gough and
Abner Womack (1810). Jonathan Gough took oath as Justice of the Peace
for Butler County, KY on 02 Oct 1810.
On page A-2, Jonathan Gough was quoted, addressing the Court: "Mr.
Chairman, the people living down at Berrys Lick request that a road be
cut from there, so as to intersect the Logan Road at James Ingram's
place." The Chairman responded, "The Court will go along with their
wishes and appoints Joshua Shelton, Jesse Gough, Abner Womack and
Samuel Hargrove, or any three of them after first being Sworn,
Commissioners to view and mark the best way for this new road, and
make their report as the Law directs".
Page D-19 shows that Jonathan Gough requested that he be appointed
Guardian to the orphaned children of William Howard, dec'd (1814). The
children, all under 14 years of age were: Mordica Howard, America
Howard and William W. Howard. Jonathan executed a Bond with Thomas
Porter his Security in the sum of $500.00 agreeable to the law.
Steve Lawrence sent the following in E-mail dated July 2001: "Jonathan
Gough, Sr. appears in Washington Co., AL as a male 50-60 (b. 1770-80),
which conforms with the 1778 birth year appearing for him in the
Taylor Bible entry. Also, there are no wife, two sons, and three
daughters listed with him on the census, again conforming to the
Taylor Bible entries, including conformant ages. So, I think from this
data, we can conclude that the Taylor Bible gives a complete family
group for Jonathon and Mary Ann Taylor Gough.... On the Washington Co.
1840 Census, Jonathon B. Gough appears as the head of household, aged
20-30 (b. 1810-20), which conforms with his birth date in the Taylor
Bible. He is living with an elderly male aged 60-70 - probably
Jonathon, Sr., as well as another male aged 20-30 - probably his
brother."
