- George BREEDING, a native of Virginia, was born in 1772, and when fourteen years of age was brought to Kentucky where Maysville now stands. When about sixteen years of age he was brought to Lincoln County, and 1802 came to Adair County, where a farm was bought and deeded to George BREEDING, where the little village of BREEDING's now stands. Here George remained during the rest of his life, engaged in agricultural pursuits and left an estate of about $7,000 in land and slave mostly. He was married three times; first to Miss Margaret Cloyd, a daughter of James and Jane (Lapsley) Cloyd, of Lincoln County.
- To this marriage were born sixteen children, of whom all died in infancy except two-Peter, who died at age nine, and Rev James BREEDING. Mrs. BREEDING, during life a consistent Christian and member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, departed this life February, 1840, in the sixtieth year of her age. George BREEDING next married Mrs. Sally Black of Lincoln County, who, at the time of her death was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and left no children by her last marriage. The third marriage of George BREEDING was to Mrs. Parthenia L. (Carter) Turk, a daughter of Benjamin Carter of Adair County. This marriage was blessed by the birth of two children: Mary Elizabeth and Rachel Jane, wife of R.D. Priestly, of Canton, Miss. At the time of her marriage Mrs. BREEDING had five children by her first husband. She died a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. George BREEDING was called from the scene of his earthly labors May 29, 1859, leaving a large estate of 840 acres of land to his widow and her two children, having previously given his son James 450 acres.
