THOMAS WILHITE, the seventh son of the fifteen children born to Noah and Polly
(Williams) Wilhite, came into the world at Oldham County, Ky., October 9, 1831.
His parents moved to this State from Kentucky in 1835, and here resided until death.
Thomas was reared to farming in this county, receiving by times some education from
the common schools.  After his majority, in March, 1852, he married Miss Candace
Wilson, which union was united by the birth of four children--Perry, Mary, John A.
and Grant (deceased).  The mother of these children died March, 1871, and five years
thereafter Mr. Wilhite married Eleanor Kirns, and to this alliance was vouchsafed one
child--Ernest.  For some years, Mr. Wilhite has been engaged in the saw and flouring
mill enterprise, which he has managed very encouragingly;  previous to this departure,
his business was farming and stock-raising.  He is a Republican in politics, and an 
earnest temperance advocate.  He is prominent in good and benevolent works, an
honored citizen, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church.
