W. H. ADCOCK was born June 19, 1828, in Livingston County, and is a son of John C. and Margaret (Wilson) Adcock, natives of South and North Carolina respectively. John C. Adcock, in an early day, immigrated to Tennessee, where he lived until the breaking out of the war in 1812, when he enlisted in the American army and served until the close, when he came to Livingston County, and settled not far from Salem, where he followed his occupations of hatter and shoemaker. He died in 1825, at an advanced age. Subject's maternal grandfather was James Wilson, a native of Caswell County, N. C. He held the position of captain in Washington's army, and was an early pioneer of Livingston County, settling on the Ohio River, opposite Goleonda, Ill., where he died a number of years ago. Margaret (Wilson) Adcock, subject's mother, was born in North Carolina and died in Livingston County, Ky., about the same time as her husband. Four children were born to John C. and Margaret Adcock: Mary, James E., and an infant not named and W. H., who is the only one of the family now living. Our subject was deprived of his parents by death at the early age of eighteen months, after which he was taken by his uncle, James Pringle, with whom he made his home until his twenty-seventy year. He commenced farming on his own responsibility about 1855 or 1856, purchasing his present place in Carrsville Precinct, which at that time was an unbroken piece of woodland; he soon succeeded in making a comfortable home, owning at the present time a good farm of ninety-six acres. Mr. Adcock was married, August 15, 1855, to Miss Clarissa I. Trimble, daughter of Isaac and Jane (Hosick) Trimble, of Livingston County. This union has been blessed with five children: James P., Isaac T., Izetta, Leona and Sophronia. (added by Brenda White Broadway-Member 47175704)
