O. H. BURBRIDGE, farmer, P. O. Hutchinson, was born May 9, 1821, in Scott County, Kentucky, and is the son of Capt. Robert Burbridge, a soldier in the war of 1812, and grandson of Capt. George Burbridge, a soldier in the war of the Revolution.
The Blue Grass region of Kentucky boasts of many old and honored families, and of the list there are none, perhaps, moreworthy of mention in a history sacred to their memory, than the Burbridge family, all men of broad views, active minds and fine intelligence; they have figured for many years in the public affairs of the State, and have left upon record a career worth of emulation. The old Revolutionary soldier removed to Kentucky during her early history, bringing a family with him, whom he reared to honorable man and womanhood. The father of our subject at that time was but a young boy; he early took an active interest in the stirring events of the times; became a solider in the war of 1812, and rose to the rank of captain.
He married Miss Eliza Ann, daughter of Jno. A. Barnes, of Port Gibson, Mississippi. The three sons born to them have all been active men.
