John Carrol Lynch was born on a farm which was then in St. Francis 
County, now a part of Lee County, in 1848, being a son Byant Lynch, 
who was born in this State in 1818, and Eliza (Davis) Lynch, of 
Kentucky origin, born in 1825. The principal of this sketch has spent 
his whole life in this county, but as his help was needed on his 
father's farm, his educational advantages in youth were very limited. 
He was married, in 1873, to Miss Lou A. Rogers, who was the mother of 
two daughters, one, Annie L., still living. Mr. Lynch owns 1,400 acres 
of land, 700 acres of which are cleared and a large part of it under 
cultivation. He raises very little cotton, but devotes most of his 
time and labor to the raising of stock, which he finds more 
profitable. He is a life-long Democrat and uses all means in his power 
to advance the interests of his party. He is a member of the Masonic 
order. His wife belongs to the Baptist Church. Mr. Lynch is one of the 
prominent and well-known men of Lee County. He has never had a sick 
day in ten years, nor taken a dose of medicine in that time, and 
during the last ten years he has increased in weight from 156 to 254 
pounds.
