ANDREW J. GOODPASTER (deceased) was born in Bath County, Ky., November
24, 1822, was the son of Michael and Margaret (Carpenter) Goodpaster, and was
reared a farmer.  September 19, 1844, he married Scythia Carpenter, also a native of
Bath County, born February 20, 1824, and daughter of Michael and Sallie (Jones) Car-
penter.  The month following his marriage, Mr. Goodpaster came to this township and
settled on a farm which had been entered by his father-in-law, built a cabin and reduced
the forest to a home, where he lived until his death, July 18, 1865.  His widow now 
conducts the farm, which consists of eighty acres, and is well cultivated and stocked.
She is a consistent Christian, an amiable woman, and the mother of six children--
Sarah M., Andrew Jackson, Mary M., Betsy Ann, Nancy J. (deceased), and Lou,
the last named now a teacher.
