DR. STEPHEN HANNA GROOMS was born July 2, 1838, in Elkton, Todd Co., Ky. His
father, Dr. Hiram Butler Grooms, a native of Culpeper County, Va., was
reared in Scott County, Ky. He practiced medicine at Vevay, Ind., then at
Hickman, Ky., and about 1838 located at Elkton, where he practiced until his
death, October 6, 1857, at the age of fifty-seven years. His brother, Col.
Horatio, a soldier in the war of 1812, burnt the barn on the battle-field at
River Raisin, and was lieutenant-colonel from Kentucky, in the Mexican war.
Thornton and Charles were also his brothers and Elizabeth (Goul), his
sister. Hiram B. married Nancy Hanna, of Allensville (probably born in
Mercer County, died December 20, 1856, aged fifty-seven years); daughter of
Stephen Hanna, Sr., native of Pennsylvania, and a soldier in the
Revolutionary war; Elizabeth Forman, a native of Virginia, was Stephen
Hanna, Sr,'s wife. From the union of Hiram B. and Nancy Grooms sprang

of Fielding and Adelaid (Halliard), Bush, of Clark County, born February 20,
1847, and to them have been born Horace Bass (deceased), Walter Bush

Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, practiced first at Elkton, and to
some extent at his present location of the pike, two miles south of Pleasant
Hill, Mercer County, to which he came in 1869. The Doctor is also engaged in
