OSCAR F. MOSBY was born in Woodford County, Ky., June 26, 1826. His father, Thomas H. Mosby, was also a native of Woodford County, born in 1794, and was married in 1818 to Miss Judith Martin, a daughter of William Martin, of Monroe County, Ky. She died in 1856, leaving eleven children, four of whom are yet living; Cyrus W., Augusta M. (Lepps), Maria L. (Tutts) and Oscar F. Thomas H. Mosby was for the greater part of his life engaged in agricultural pursuits, though in 1818, and for several years following, he sold goods in the town of Glasgow, in Barren County, and at his death, which occurred in Barren County in 1854, he left some property to his children. His father, Nicholas Mosby, was of English parentage, and a native of Virginia, and was one of the early settlers of Woodford County, Ky., where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits up to the time of his death, some time in the first decade of the present century. Oscar F. Mosby received a good common school education, and in his nineteenth year entered a school of a higher order, and for a couple of years studied the higher mathematics and collateral sciences. In 1846 he left school and engaged in a general mercantile trade in Glasgow, Ky., with James L. Crutcher. Here he remained for one year, and then removed to Peter's Creek and engaged in the same business for other parties, and at the end of five years bought out the business, and up to the present time has continued at the same place. Mr. Mosby has been universally successful, more especially in the tobacco trade, in which he has been engaged for about fourteen years. He is the proprietor of about 1,000 acres of valuable land, about one-half of which is in cultivation and well improved. He has been twice married. His first wife, whom he married in 1852, was a Miss Vergeene Button; her parents were Virginians by birth and residents of Barren County. She died in 1861, leaving four Children: Laura V., Thomas M., Cyrus C., and an infant unnamed. Mr. Mosby's second marriage took place, in 1862, with Roda H., daughter of Jacob DILLON, who resided in Barren County, but was a native of Virginia. To this marriage have been born twelve children, eleven of whom are living: Judith H., Naomi L., Stonewall J., Mary W., Jacob D., Oscar F., Asa Y., Hasseltine, John Y., Evaleen and Augusta. Mr. Mosby is a patron of schools and churches, and takes pride in the education of his children. Politically he was an old line Whig until the demise of that party. He is now a straight Democrat. In 1859 he was elected to the office of magistrate in Barren County, and has held the office through subsequent elections for twenty-six years.
