David J. Addington, Sr, was a leading and influential citizen of Scott county. He typified the good and noble qualities of an American gentleman. He was peaceable, law-abiding, industrious, and wellto-do. He was a man evenly tempered with a high sense of both justice and mercy. He could discern good and admirable qualities in others, and was liberal in giving due honor and praise where deserved. He never sought political preferments but always exercised his right and influence as a free-born native citizen. He possessed
a fair education, taught school in early life, and was a reader, at his leisure, of periodicals, newspapers and books through life, "lived beside the road and was a friend to man." He was humble and devoted in religion, and was a leader in the Church.
