HARVEY BOHANNON was born in Shelby County November 3, 1829, the fourth son of Henry and 
Philadelphia (Gale) Bohannon. Henry was born in Woodford County, a son of John (a native 
of Maryland) and Helen (Cook) Bohannon. He was county commissioner of the circuit court, 
or, in other words, master in chancery; was sheriff two years, magistrate several years, 
represented the county in the Legislature one term, and was also deputy county surveyor. 
His wife was born in Woodford County, daughter of Robert F. and Elizabeth (Wood) Gale, 
both natives of Virginia. Robert F. Gale was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. By trade 
he was a saw mill man, also built flatboats, which his brother would load with produce and 
take to New Orleans. He died in 1847. Harvey Bohannon has always been engaged in farming. 
He was county surveyor for twelve years and does more or less surveying still. He is also 
engaged in the saw mill business on a small scale. May 31, 1849 he married Scynthia Scroggin, 
of Shelby County, a daughter of Sam and Malinda (Miles) Scroggin. Three children were born to 
their union, one of whom is living, J. G., who is located at Greenville, Ky., engaged in the 
practice of medicine. He is married to Manday M. Hoyden, and has three children: George H., 
Joe H. and Grace. Our subject's first wife died in 1872, and October 31, 1873, he married 
Scynthia Gale, of Shelby County, daughter of J. W. and Mary A. (Crook) Gale. Two children 
blessed this union--one living, Harvey Jr.
