William Dollarhide, a prominent old settler of Hickory County, Mo., is in every 
respect worthy a place in these columns, for from earliest manhood he has been 
honest, industrious and enterprising.  He was born in Scott County, Va., November 
19, 1813, and is a son of John and Jemimah (Osborn) Dollarhide, who were born in 
North Carolina and Virginia in 1780 and 1796, and died in Hickory County, Mo., in 
1862 and 1871 respectively.  John Dollarhide went from his native State to Virginia, 
when a young man, and engaged in teaching school, which occupation he followed 
until his death, in connection with farming.  He was married and made his home in 
Scott County, Va., until 1833, when he moved to Missouri, and until the spring of 
1838 resided in Franklin County.  From that time until his death he was a resident 
of Hickory County.  Both were members of the Baptist Church.  William Dollarhide was 
the third of their twelve children, five of whom are living, and received his education 
in his native State.  At the age of eighteen years he began working for himself as a 
farm-hand, and in 1832 came to Franklin County, Mo., and in 1837 to Hickory County, 
and has made his home in the latter ever since.  H has been very successful, and is 
one of the largest landholders and heaviest tax-payers in the township of Stark.  
In January, 1834, he was married to Martha Holt, who was born in Tennessee and died 
in Hickory County, Mo., in 1848, having borne a family of five children, Jane (Carr) 
being the only one now living.  Those deceased are: Jesse, who served in Company B, 
of the Eighth Federal Cavalry, and died at Bloomfield, Mo., when twenty-two years of 
age; Jemimah, who was the wife of John Jackson, and died when about thirty years old; 
Nancy, the wife of A. Morgan, who died at the age of twenty-five years, and an infant.  
In 1849 he wedded Jane Ride, a Tennesseean by birth, who also died in Hickory County 
in 1855, having become the mother of one son, William, who now resides in the county.  
Nancy Jackson became his third wife in 1861.  She was born in Surry County, N. C., 
December 17, 1827, and is a daughter of Ruell Jackson.  The last union resulted in the 
birth of four children, three of whom survive: Amanda; Louisa, wife of Anthony Bowcher; 
and Virginia, wife of Joseph T. Edde.  India Aniz is deceased.  Mrs. Dollarhide is a 
member of the Methodist Church, and, in his political views, Mr. Dollarhide is a Democrat.  
In all he has served twenty years as justice of the peace, and has given universal 
satisfaction in the discharge of his duties.
