(10 Apr 1813 - )

The History of Brown County (Morrow, p. 36) identifies Grandison Pinckard as "saddler, Georgetown, ex-Recorder of Brown County, . . . was reared on a farm in Mason County, and early learned the saddler's trade at Washington, in his native county; her served a four years' apprenticeship, then worked as a jour[neyman] three months, and finally commenced in business for himself, at Germantown, Ky. In 1859, he located at Higginsport, in Brown County, Ohio, where he carried on his business for fifteen years. Mr. Pinckard was raised a Whig, and voted with that party until 1852; he then became a Know-Nothing, and was subsequently an Abolitionist, and connected with the Union party. In 1875, he was elected Recorder of Brown County, and re-elected in 1878, his second term expiring in January 1882. Of late years, he has been a Republican, and, at present, is connected with the stalward branch of that party. While a resident of Kentucky, he was a Magistrate of Georgetown, previous to 1852, and under the old Constitution of the State. Mr. Pinckard commenced life without a dollar, but by energy and economy, has succeeded very well in life; he is a member of the Masonic Lodge at Higginsport, and for five years has been the Agent in Georgetown of the Masonic Mutual Benefit Association of Maysville, Ky. Mr. Pinckard has been connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church for fifty-two years."
