DAVID N. CULL was born in Henry County, Ky., December 5, 1844. His father, John 
W. Cull, was also a native of Henry County; was born in 1822, and married Mary 
E. Robbins in 1843; to them were born fifteen children, ten of whom are now 
living: Edward W., Virginia M. (Archer), Christopher C., Abel H., Kittie E. 
(Davis), Amanda L. (McDonald), John T. (a deaf mute and now foreman in the 
bindery of the Kentucky Institute, at Danville), Titus P., Mary O. And David N. 
Mary E. (Robbins) Cull was born in 1826, and is yet living, aged about sixty 
years; she is a daughter of Abel and Mary (Watkins) Robbins, the former a 
Virginian, who came to Kentucky when a young man, and who at his death was 
ninety years of age; the latter was of Welsh extraction, a native of Virginia, 
and died in 1866. John W. Call was a farmer, and in early life followed the 
trade of a builder; he was a Democrat and was active in politics; but 
persistently refused to hold any office; he died in 1878. He was a son of Hugh 
Cull, who resided in Henry County, Ky., and was born in 1800 and died in Carroll County in 1879. He was thrice married, and reared a family of four sons and three daughters; he was a plain honest farmer, and noted for his strict business habits and sterling integrity. His father, John, was a native of Ireland, where the family bore the name of O'Cull. John came to America prior to the Revolution, engaged in the French and Indian wars, and served under Gen. Harrison in the battle of the Thames. David N. Cull had but little school training in early life, but having a love for books he stored his mind with a fund of useful knowledge. His father was a man of more than ordinary education and gave his children the benefit of his learning and experience. David N. began life as a farmer, but at the age of twenty-two an accident disabled him and he took up the study of law; he read with Capt. Yeager, of Buford, and in 1870 was admitted to the Trimble County bar by Judges Pryor and Stites; since that time he has been continuously engaged in the practice of his profession, in Trimble, Grayson and Hart Counties. His marriage with Mary M. Hendricks, of Oldham County, was celebrated on the 11th of April, 1877. Two daughters, Katie L. And Virginia D. are the results of this union. Mary (Hendricks) Cull was born December 20, 1851. She is a daughter of Maj. Isaac C. Hendricks, who is of German descent; her mother was a Miss Malvina J. Springer; she was of Dutch extraction; both were natives of Johnson County, Ind. Mrs. Call is a member of the Christian Church. Mr. Cull is a Master Mason in Hope Lodge, NO. 365.
