1 LOCA Chapters about the county published in History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, edited by W.H. Perrin.
His paternal grandfather, Josephus Perrin, Sr., removed from Charlotte County, Va., in 1774, and with his family settled near the Crab Orchard in Lincoln County, Ky.  THis was long before the organization of the State, and during the most perilous times of the "Dark and Bloody Ground" and while every male settler was compelled to act in the double capacity of farmer and soldier. The mother of Dr. Perrin was also a Perrin; her father George Perrin, having been a farmer in Charlotte County, Va., and in 1784 removed with his family and settled in Edgefield district, South Carolina.  He raised a family of eight children of whom the mother of this subject was the eldest daughter.  Both [Page 673] these Perrins, together with two other of their brothers, entered variously into the army during the Revolution, and were soldiers during the entire war for Independence.  The father of Dr. Perrin, Joseph Perrin, Jr., accompanied his father and family to their new home in Kentucky, and, although young, soon became conspicuous among the new settlers for his activity and boldness in aiding to expel the roving hands of Indians who from time to time made incursions into the new settlements. After the defeat of Gen. Harmer at the battle of Chillicothe, he aided in raising a company of volunteers, and as first lieutenant, marched with his company to the aid of Gen. St. Clair, and was actively engaged in the battle that terminated in his inglorious defeat.  Some years after, having married in March 1799, he removed with his family to Harrison County and located on the south fork of the Licking river, about eight miles below the town of Cynthiana.  He then cleared and opened a farm, on which he reared a large family, and where he resided until his death, in his seventy-third year.  He early took an active part in the political affairs of his State, and for over twenty years served his country in the Legislature of the commonwealth having been repeatedly elected to the Senate and Lower House, and took an important part in the proceedings. G.H. Perrin, the subject of this sketch, remained on his fathers' farm until his sixteenth year, in the meantime having the advantages of the common schools of his neighborhood.  During 1811 and 1812, he attended a select school in Scott County, under Rev. Thomas Smith.  In 1813 he entered Transylvania University, at Lexington, in which institute he remained until he completed his literary, classical, and medical education. In 1814, while the war with England was still in progress, he left the university and volunteered for a six months tour in the army; joined the 16th regiment, and marched with it to join the army of the North-West, at that time commanded by General McArthur.  He was in no general engagement but had frequent encounters with the Indians.  The war with England having terminated in 1815, his military life at once came to a close.  On leaving the army, and when receiving an honorable discharge, he was highly complimented by his commander, General Gratiot, for the efficient manner in which he had discharged the very onerous duties of such a campaign. In compensation for military service then rendered, he has long been in reception of a pension from the Government.  In the Spring of 1815, he returned to his home in Kentucky, and not long after he again returned to Transylvania University, and there remained until he had completed his medical education, and the last year of this term he was a private student of the professor of anatomy of the institution, the justly celebrated Benjamin W. Dudley.  Late in the fall of 1817, by the urgent request of his relatives, he began practice in Edgefield District, S. Car., remaining there in practice for eight years.  At the end of that time, in consequence of the climate, and his own health having been completely broken down, he determined to move back to Harrison County, in which he had been raised, and settled in Cynthiana.  For two years he was unable to engage in the practice, only to a limited extent.  As soon as his health was restored he gradually acquired a large and lucrative practice, which he retained until near 1840, when his health again failed.  Having, however, accumulated a competency for life, he abandoned forever the practice of medicine.  In November, 1819, he was married to Miss Arabella, daughter of Mr. John Edwards of Bourbon County.  Her paternal grandfather. Col. John Edwards, upon the organization of the State, was elected by the Legislature one of the two senators first sent by the State to the Congress of the United States.  Her maternal grandfather, Colonel James Garrard, had fortunately become the possessor of a patent that had been located on 10,000 acres of the richest land in Kentucky, and which secured to him a large fortune for life.  He was eight years Governor of Kentucky.  With his wife, who still remains to him, Dr. Perrin has lived a happy life of over sixty years; both of them, long years ago, became members of the Protestant Episcopal church, and have ever since remained consistent communicants of the same, and he, by his extensive charities and large liberality, was among the most efficient members in originating and placing on a permanent basis the Church of the Advent, Cynthiana.  Having no taste for it, he never engaged in politics; was a Whig, and voted with that party until its dissolution; in the late war between the Northern and Southern States he sympathized strongly with the South, and during the war and since, has voted uniformly with the Democratic party.  His first presidential vote was for James Monroe.  Having hitherto led a very active life, after his retirement from the practice of medicine, he engaged actively in agricultural pursuits, and by his untiring energy soon became one of the model farms of the county.  He took great delight in raising fine stock, and was among the first farmers to introduce into Harrison County the highly prized and valuable short-horn Durham, which he bred extensively, frequently competing successfully at the different fairs, with the most approved breeders of Bourbon and Fayette Coun[Page 674]ties.  For twenty years he enjoyed the pleasures of a farmer's life, and counts those the happiest years of his life. But, on the close of the war between the North and South, he, with a large number of Kentuckians, suffered heavy pecuniary losses by the emancipation of the negroes; and, being advanced in life, he determined to bring to a close his agricultural life as a farmer.  He consequently sold his splendid farm of nearly 500 acres, lying adjoining Cynthiana.  Not long afterward he purchased a handsome home within the limits of Cynthiana, where he now resides, highly esteemed by all who know him as a gentleman and a Christian.

About the same time that his bothers, William and John, moved to South Carolina (1783), Josephus and his brother, John, moved from Virginia to Lincoln County, Kentucky. Josephus entered into the Revolutionary War. Joseph served as a private in the Va Cavalry, 1783. The three Perrin brothers, George, William & Josephus, married three Clopton sisters, whose ancestry can be traced back 20 generations to the year 1200 and established as Sureties of the Magna Carter.
