Individual Details

Ogilvie Kith & Kin, Volume 13, Number 4, dated June 1995, page 33. In February, 1781, just after his eighteenth birthday, he volunteered for duty in the Revolutionary War and fought at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. After some four momths Kimbrough returned home and resumed his farming duties. In September, he again volunteered for services in the same regiment and was near Wilmington, NC when news of the British surrender came. He completed his three-momth tour and returned home. Kimbrogh was the fourth of nine children. On 25 Sept. 1782, Kimbrough posted a marriage bond in Granville, Co, NC. and became the husband of Nancy Harris. In the North Carolina census of 1786, they were farming in the Dutch District of said county. They owned one slave. In 1795 Kimbrough and Nancy loaded their family into ox wagons and made their way to Davidson County, Tennessee. When Williamson County was formed, they found themselfs in the new county. After 15 years the Ogilvies moved to the adjoining Bedford County and lived there another 20 years. Always in the search of better farmland, Kimbrough gathered his two adult sons and perhaps one daughter, along with their families, and in November, 1830, they all departed Tennessee for the Jackson Purchase Territory in Kentucky. Kimbrough was nearing his 68th year. Settled on a double land grant of 160 acres in western Calloway County, Kentucky.
