From Goodspeed's History of Tennessee comes a portion of this biographical sketch:" J. Sterling Neblett was born and reared in this county.

On Jan. 31 1867 he was united in marriage to Miss Susan Orgain daughter of Squire Griffin Orgain of the seventeenth district. They had five children, one son and four daughters survive him. The deceased is better known in his career as a journalist in Clarksville. When R.W. Thomas in Oct of 1857 retired from the editorship of the Chronicle that paper passed into of hands of J. Sterling Neblett and Jas. A. Grant and was conducted under the firm of Neblett & Grant until Jan. 1,1878, a period of nearly twenty-one years. In 1878 Mr. Grant's health failed andhe sold his interest in the paper to W.P.
