Tichenor had a farm with four apple orchards and two thousand pearch
trees."

Ref#205:
Children of Daniel and Catharine: Joseph, Daniel, Jacob, Timothy, Jane,
Phoebe, Elizabeth, Sarah

Daniel Tichenor married 1st Catherine Wade. They were Presbyterians and
the births and baptisms of most of their children are recorded in the
Morristown Church register. Several years before the American Revolution,
Daniel purchased a farm in Morris Co. where he lived for 15 or 20 years.
He served in the Revolutionary War in the Minute Men and Militia. He
served in the Company of Capt. James Wheeler and in the Company of Capt.
Isaac Halsey, Morris Co. N.J. Militia, Eastern Batallion, according to
the lineage book, D.A.R. vol. 19, p. 72; Ibid vol 32, p. 52.

Daniel married 2nd, Anna Byram, daughter of Ebenezer and Abigail
Byram, the widow of Peter Condit, May 6, 1776. Anna had 3 sons, Edward,
Byram and Lewis Condit. Ebenezer Byram was the son of Capt. Ebenezer and
Hannah (Haywood) Byram, and the grandson of Capt Nicholas and Mary
(Edson) Byram, and Joseph and Alice (Brett) Hayward.

An account of the family's move to Kentucky was given by James, Daniel's
son: In 1790 he exchanged his farm in Morris Co. with
Capt. John Howell for land on Green River in Ohio Co. Ky. and in Sept.
1790 removed with his family to Kentucky. He was greatly disappointed
regarding his new purchase. The Green River country was a waste
wilderness, the habitation only by Indians and beasts of the forest, not
a white family within 50 miles. During his life he never deemed it safe
to take his family there and thus a valuable home in New Jersey was lost
to him and his descendants. Of this tract, he never took possession in
person but bequeathed it to his sons, some of whom afterward removed
there.

They traveled in wagons to Pittsburgh where they obtained a boat and
descended the Ohio River to Limestone, now Maysville, where they landed
and proceeded in wagons to Nelson Co. and built their cabins on Cox's
Creek near Bardstown. In Sept. 1795, Mr Tichenor purchased 60 acres on
Plum Run in Nelson Co. where he built a dwelling to which he removed in
1796 and resided there until his death in 1804. For many years Daniel had
been subject to violent attacks of asthma which often seemed to threaten
sudden death. During the intervals, he enjoyed comfortable health,
leading a life of exemplary piety, temperance and industry. He laid out a
family burial ground on his farm in Nelson Co. in which his remains and
those of his widow, many of their children, grandchildren and neighbors
have been deposited.

The land on Green River for which Daniel Tichenor traded his farm in NJ
was a 2500 acre tract. In 1799 he bought another 150 acres from John
Howell which joined this tract on the west. The deeds to these tracts are
recorded in Nelson County, KY. He bought about 300 acres in two tracts in
Nelson County, on Plum Run in 1796, getting the deed for it in 1803, the
year before he died. Three of his sons also acquired land in Nelson
County. Timothy bought 40 acres adjacent to the farm of his father, who
deeded some his land to Joseph and Daniel, both of whom bought other land
joining these tracts. Sarah's husband owned an adjacent farm; thus their
farms were all contiguous. After Daniel's death in 1804, the land on
Green River in Ohio County (Ohio County having been
formed in 1798) was divided according to Daniel's will which gave 600
acres each to Timothy, Daniel, Joseph and Jacob, and 250 acres to James.
The farm in Nelson County went to the seven youngest children after the
death of their mother, who received it by the will. By 1814 all of
Daniel's children were married except Elizabeth, who did not marry. The
sons were becoming settled in KY for life, and their descendants were
soon to become the largest branch of the Tichenor family.

Ohio County became by 1850, second only to Essex County, NJ in Tichenor
population. The first generation to be born there all lived close enough
together to know each other personally. Most, if not all, were members of
the Walton's Creek Baptist Chruch. Timothy, Jared and Jonas and their
wives were charter members. An Ohio County history memtions the Tichenors
as among the families who were "the most zealous and active members and
worshipers at Walton's Creek." The church, which was organized in 1814,
and had a rapid growth beginning in 1820, played an important part in the
lives of the members.

The Bloomfield Baptist Church in Nelson County played an important part
in the lives of the Tichenors on Plum Run. Two sons of James Tichenor,
Isaac Taylor, who had a Important place in Southern Baptist history and
Joseph Lapsley, were apparently named for pastors of the church.

His children probably did not attend school in Kentucky, however James is
known to have learned to read and write after a grown man. That this is
also true of Jacob is indicated by records, on which his name appears, In
Spencer County Courthouse, the earlier ones being signed by his mark, the
late ones by his name. The school established on a lot taken off the farm
of Daniel Tichenor, Jr in 1830 may have been the first school attended by
the Tichenors in Nelson County.

Mrs. Tichenor resided on the farm of her husband for the remainder of her
life which terminated on July 8, 1826 at age 76. Sometime previously she
had a fall by which the neck of the thigh bone was broken, rendering her
crippled for the residue of her life. Two of her sisters had been
crippled in the same manner at about that point of life.

Daniel Tichenor is buried in the Tichenor Family Cemetery in Fairfield,
Nelson County, Ky. At his gravesite is a limestone headstone and brass
plaque. The brass plaque commemorating his service in the American
Refolutionary War is engraved as follows:

Daniel Tichenor

Family cemeteries were very common in early KY. Daniel Tichenor's
descendants are buried in a number of them, only three of which bear the
Tichenor name; The Daniel Tichenor Cemetery in Nelson County. Both Daniel
and Ann are buried in the Tichenor Family Cemetery, named for the
descendants of Martin Tichenor. This plot is located on a high point of
pasture of what was originally the farm of Daniel Tichenor between Plum
Run Road and Murray's Run Road northeast of Bardstown, KY. Source:
