Our subject's paternal grandparents, Robert and Malinda

subject, Richard and Elizabeth (Holman) Rue, located in

was one of the first Justices of the Peace in the county, and
is said to have performed the first marriage ceremony in the
county. He represented this district in the Territorial Legis-

war of the Revolution and was captured by the Indians in
Kentucky and carried to Detroit, where he was exchanged.
He was one of the founders of the Elkhorn Baptist church.
Mrs. Rue died in 1833, and Mr. Rue in 184:4:, aged eighty-
iive years. They had a family of nine children — Polly,
Elizabetli, Rachel, Sally, Nancy, Henry, Samuel, Kelly and
Jane. James "Watson, our subject, was reared on a farm, and
received a common-school education. He now has a fine
farm of 160 acres all well improved. Politically he is inde-
pendent in his views. He was married in 1846, to Elizabeth
Raper, daughter of William Raper. In 1850 he removed to *
Holt County, Mo., but two years later returned to his old
home. Mr. and Mrs. Watson have four children — Hannah,
