VIRGIL M. DEWEESE was born in Butler County, Ky., February 18, 1840, and
is a son of William and Elizabeth (Pitman) Deweese, the former of whom was
a native of Virginia, and the latter a native of N.C., and of German and
English descent respectively. When but a small boy, William Deweese
emigrated with his parents from Virginia to Cumberland County, Ky., where
his early education was received. While yet a young man, he removed to
Butler County, Ky., where he was married and soon afterward removed to
Illinois, settling near Springfield, where he bought wild land and
subsequently improved a farm, upon which he remained for several years.
