WASHAM, a prosperous farmer near Mayfield, Graves Co, Kentucky, is a representative citizen of the county and state. He is a native Kentuckian, and has lived in the state all his life. Beginning his career with an abundance of nothing but strength of body and purpose to succeed, he has progressed with the years, and can now claim a fair and creditable amount of success in his special line of endeavor. He has lived consistently with his ideas of right, and has given his best efforts to the accomplishment of his ideals and the duties which came to his lot. Family, home, his farm, citizenship and religious, educational and social affairs have each received their due share of attention and effort, and the result is a well rounded individual and a man esteemed where ever known.

Mr. Washam's grandfather, Peter Washam, b in the state of Virginia, whence he removed to Marshall Co, KY, where his son Isaac b, and where the latter has made his home all his life, being a substantial and well known farmer of that vicinity. For sixteen years he was a magistrate in the eighth district of Marshall Co, and was also deputy clerk of the county. During the Civil war he espoused the side of the Union, and in 1862 enlisted in the Fifteenth Kentucky Cavalry and served during the remainder of the war. He was once taken prisoner, and was confined in Fort Hyman. He has been a Republican in politics, and he and his wife are members of the Methodist church. He married Mary P. Ray, who was also born in Marshall county, and was a daughter of Hix J. Ray, a native of NC and of English descent. She is deceased, but her husband still enjoys fair health at the age of sixty-five years. They had a family of twelve children: Willis A.; William O.; Lucella M., wife of John Mathews is; John A.; James B.; Thomas K.; Benjamin C.; Fayett H.; Mary F., deceased, wife of D. Reed; Annie E., wife of Nelson Owens; and twins that died in infancy.

John A. Washam b in Marshall Co, KY, August 3, 1862, and after his early training and schooling he started out to make farming his life work. He has been steadily engaged in this line of enterprise all his life, and from nothing, through his good management, hard work and thrift, has become the owner of a fine farm of eighty-six acres on the Wadeborough road, two and a half miles from Mayfield. Mr. Washam is a Republican in politics, and he and his wife are members of the Methodist church. October 21, 1885, he married Miss Susan Smith, who b in Marshall county, Kentucky, and is a daughter of James K. P. and Elizabeth (Lyles) Smith, who were both born in Marshall county, and are still living, in Graves county, the former aged fifty-eight years and the latter fifty-nine. Martin Lyles was the maternal grandfather of Mrs. Washam, and Rachael Wyatt Lyles, her paternal grandmother, b in North Carolina, and at the age of six years moved to Marshall county, and is still living at the age of seventy-three, making her home with her son. Mrs. Washam is one of thirteen children, as follows: John W., Susan C., Thomas W., Nancy A., Mary E., Tina E., Ellword A. (deceased), Henry E., Nina H. (deceased), Hardin L. and Mont E. (twins), Kirk (deceased), and Early L. Mr. and Mrs. Washam have had the following children: Weslie C. (deceased), Carrie M., Clemie A., James C., Omer F., and Ransom B.”
