THREE LIVES IN FOUR CEN

1t is not often that the span of three
lives stretches into four centuries, but
Mrs. Martha Lawrence, who recently
died in Warren county, KY, was the
granddaughter of man who was born
in 1894 Moreover, her father was
the first white child born in Kentucky.
Michael Goodnight (probably Gut

IN Germany in 1894, emigrated to Vir-
ginia in 1908 He married early. and
one of his sons was present with
George Washington and Daniel Boone

he became many years later an ardent
supporter of the revolution, in which
several of his sons fought. His first

age. When he was past eighty he
penetrated the Kentucky wilderness
on an exploring expedition with thirty
men under the celebrated borderer
James Harrod. He returned to North
Carolina for his family, intending to

others of the party had chosen as the
site for the first settlement of Ken

l775. Michael Goodnight and most
Of the party were killed, but some es-
capped in the darkness. Among them
was Mrs. Goodnight whom men from
the fourt found two days later lying
unconscious in the woods.
Four months later a son, the first
white native of Kentucky, was born to
Mrs. Goodnight at Harrodsburg, and
was named Isaac. He was OF great
vigor and courage, and while yet a
boy became one of the most famous
Indian fighters in Kentucky. He lived
to be ninety-three years old. surviving
the civil war four years (although ap
elder brother had fought in the
French and Indian war more than a
century earlier), was married rive
times and became the father of twen-
ty-one children. His last surviving
child. Mrs. Lawrence. who has just
died, was seventy eight years old, and
left several Observation-Disclosures.
The fifth wife of Isaac Goodnight,
the man who was born the year the
cannon were laundering at Bunker
Hill, has been dead only few years.
