MALACHI EMBRY was born in Butler County, May 26, 1838, and is the fifth
child in a family of eight children born to Wiley and Eliza (Bolton)
Embry, the former of whom was a native of Garrard County, Ky., and the
latter of Buckingham County, Va. They were of English and Scotch-Irish
descent respectively. Wiley Embry was educated and married in his
native county, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits for many years;
in 1831, removed with his wife and family to Butler County, Ky., and
bought wild land on the waters of Welch's Creek, where he subsequently
improved the farm upon which he resided until his death, April 11, 1879,
in his seventy-second year; he was one of the noted hunters of the
Kentucky frontier, having frequently killed as many as thirty-eight deer
in a week, besides wolves and other game; was a life-long and devoted
church member, first of the Baptist and afterward of the Christian
Church, and was for over forty years a regularly ordained preacher.
Mrs. Eliza Embry's death occurred October 16, 1852, in her forty-third
year. She was also a devoted member of the Christian Church. Malachi
Embry received a very fair education at the early subscription schools,
and was employed on his father's farm until he attained his majority;
then bought 106 acres of wild land near the old homestead, where he has
since improved the farm upon which he still resides, and to which he
afterward added about 1,000 acres, a part of which he deeded to his
children, but still owns a well improved farm of some 600 acres. He is
decidedly the largest tobacco grower in Butler County, and has also
been extensively engaged in the stave, log and lumber business in
connection with farming. In 1865, he was elected deputy sheriff for
that part of Butler County lying north of the Green River, to fill the
unexpired term of J. A. Dockery, and was re-elected to the same office
in 1866. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company G, Twelfth Kentucky
Volunteer Cavalry (Federal service), and served with that regiment in
all its marches and engagements until April, 1863, when he was
discharged on account of disability, resulting from a severe wound in
the knee. He was married August 8, 1859, to Frances Phelps, also a
native of Butler County, Ky.; born March 16, 1841, a daughter of James
and Nancy (Embry) Phelps, and a twin sister of Mrs. Nancy Duke. Eleven
children were the fruit of this union, nine of whom - four sons and
five daughters - are yet living. The names of the children are as
follows: William W., Mary E. (deceased), Olivia E. Embry, Sarah Byers,
Ulysses S. Grant, Nancy E., James O., Eudora A., Estil O., Cleopatra
and Effie L. (deceased). Mr. Embry belongs to no church, but is a
member of the Masonic fraternity, and was formerly a member of the
Grange. He is also a member of Perry Campbell Post, G.A.R., of
Caneyville, Grayson County, Ky. Mrs. Embry and the three eldest
children are members of the Christian Church. In politics Mr. Embry
is a Republican.
