History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 703. [Harrison County] [Berry's Station Precinct] CHARLES LAIL, farmer, P. O. Berry, was born in Harrison County, Ky., Nov. 23, 1846, and is the son of Charles and Louisa (Douglas) Lail. He is descended from one of Harrison County's old pioneers. His grandfather, John Lail, was born while his parents were en route from Pennsylvania to Kentucky. They settled in Harrison County, where John Lail subsequently married Miss Mary William, who bore him ten children, among whom was Charles Lail, the father of our subject. He was born in Harrison County in 1805, and followed farming as a business; he married Louisa Douglas as above stated, who bore him eight children, all sons, and six of whom are still living. He died in 1861, and his wife, who was born in 1814, died in 1880. Charles Lail, who names heads this sketch, spent his early life with his parents; received his education while with them, and assisted his father at farming. In 1869 he was married to Miss Anna Clifford; but three children of the seven born to them are now living: Evelyn, Edgar and Leslie. In 1880 Mr. Lail bought a farm of seventy-five acres. He is a Democrat and his wife is a member of the Baptist Church; he is also holding the office of Justice of the Peace. Daniel Boone was great uncle to his mother, and his great-grandfather, Capt. Bryant, was the settler and founder of Bryant's Station, the place which figured so conspicuously in the early Indian wars of the blue grass region.
