General Notes: Husband - David Banks
He spent his entire life in sight of the place of his birth. His early education was such only as could be acquired at the common schools. Being diligent, however, and apt to learn, he became a reasonably good scholar. He grew up on the farm, and, after his older brothers left home and his father had became too old to work, he succeeded to its management, his father retaining a third interest in the proceeds. He married and addressed himself industriously to the cultivation and improvement of the farm. The buildings were repaired and rendered more commodious and comfortable. A purchase of eighty acres from the Walker estate, and which bordered his farm on the south, added greatly to its value, as did also a tract of woodland on Horning's Ridge, a mile and a half away. At the death of his father he came into full possession of the farm, the improvement of which may be said to have been his lifework. As he advanced in years and became disqualified for severe labor, he passed the management of the property over into the hands of his son William.
He was chosen one of the associate judges for the county in 1856, and served until 1861. He was once selected as a candidate on the Democratic ticket for Legislature, but as the district was largely Republican, he made no effort for securing an election. Although defeated, he proved much stronger than his party. During the Rebellion he favored the vigorous prosecution of the war for the defense of the nation.
In stature he was five feet six inches, and weighed two hundred and twenty pounds; he had dark hair and dark eyes. In religion he was a Presbyterian by education and honest conviction.
He died of heart-disease. He was taken ill in November and lingered during the
winter, gradually failing.
