Repository: Nicholas Co. Library, Carlisle, KY
Transcribed by: Vernon L. Threlkeld, great-grandnephew of the deceased.
Comment, V. Threlkeld: Samuel was a son of James W. and Mariah (Hinkle) Highland, and grandson of Denman and Amelia (Johnson) Highland. They farmed in Bourbon Co. and birth records prove that Samuel was born there.
Note: The death certificate gives birth year as 1857, but older family and bible records state 1856, as do Bourbon Co. birth records for that year.
