Vincent Boreing, county judge of Laurel County, KY, is a native of
Washington County, Tenn, and was born November 24, 1839.  His father, Murray
Boreing, a native of the same county, was a well-to-do farmer, who moved to
Laurel County, KY about 1848, where he lived until about 1872, at which time
he went to Kansas, living there only a short time and subsequently removing
to Texas, where he resided until 1885; he then returned to London, Laurel
County, KY and resided with his son until his death.  He was a son of Joshua
Boreing, a native of Baltimore, MD, who moved to East Tennessee at an early
date.  Murry Boreing married Sarah Ruble, a native of Washington County,
Tenn, and a daughter of John Ruble, of Pennsylvania, who was an early
settler of Tennessee.  They were the parents of ten children, viz: Louisa,
John R., Vincent, Amon, Jennie, Lotta E., James W. and three infants.
Vincent Boreing, having been reared in Laurel County and attended the common

Twenty-fourth Kentucky Infantry, and served until the close of the war,
being a participant in the battles of Shiloh, Perryville, KY, Corinth, Miss,
Siege of Knoxville, with Sherman in his march at Atlanta and at Resaca,
where he was severely wounded.  At the close of the war he returned to
Kentucky, but not having recovered from his wound and being unable to work,
he entered Tusculum College, Greenville, Tenn, where he studied until 1867,
when he went to Laurel County and took charge of Laurel Seminary, which he
taught for a number of terms.  He afterwards traveled as a commercial
salesman for a year of two, when he started a newspaper known as the
Mountain Echo, which he conducted two years; since then he has been engaged
in mercantile and general business, and is also an extensive land holder,
serving at present as president of the Cumberland Valley Land Company.  In
1866 Mr. Boreing was elected county judge of Laurel County, and is the
present encumbent of that office.  September 5, 1867, he married Miss Martha
Farris, a daughter of James and Miriam (Parton) Farris, of Laurel County.
