JOHN L. DOUGLASS, retired blacksmith, Ashland; was born at Madison, Jefferson, Co., Ind., June 3, 1823; son of Asahel and Jane (KIKINDALL) DOUGLASS. Asahel, a native of Connecticut, was born May 19, 1791, and died Jan. 21, 1880; his wife, born in Pennsylvania, Nov. 6, 1802, died Nov. 28, 1879; they were the parents of eleven children; John L., when two years of age, went with his parents to Lexington, Ky., thence to Metcalfe Co., that State, where his youth was spent in assisting his father in his mercantile and trading interests. When about twenty years of age he began blacksmithing with his father, and after having learned the trade, came, in 1857, to Virginia, this county, and the following year removed to Ashland, and purchased a shop which had been in good operation but a few months. Here he continued in business until 1881. He served as magistrate one year, and is now performing the duties of that office, having been re-elected in the fall of 1881. During the late war, he entered the service in Co. I, 1st I.V.I., under Capt. Jesse F. Newman, the regiment being commanded by Col. Charles Fox, and remained in service three years. In Adair Co., Ky., April 27, 1847, he married America E. YATES, born in Kentucky, May 31, 1831, daughter of Melford and Catherine (CREELS) YATES, natives of Adair Co., that State. From this union twelve children have been born, viz.: Melford A., John W. O., Jane C., Orrin A. (died July 12, 1858); was the first person who died in Ashland), Louan, Rebecca C., Luther H., Maud L., Maria O., Mary E., George T., and Reuben C. M. DOUGLASS and wife are connected with the Methodist church; he has been an active member of the I.O.O.F., for a number of years; was one of the charter members of Oak Lodge No. 341, at Ashland. He was originally an old line Whig, and is now a Republican.
