"John Grogan Pedigo was born November 9, 1815, in Cumberland County, KY.In the year 1819, while in infancy, he was brought by his parents toHoward County, MO., but returned in about three years to Barron County,KY. In 1831, he, with his parents, moved to Sangamon County, IL., andafter the Flint Hill purchase, moved to what is now Des Moines County, inthe state of Iowa; there he lived until 1843, when he removed to thevicinity of New Randolph, KY., and in 1846 removed again to a farm, wherehe has since resided, in Metcalfe County (then Barren), KY. His father,James Pedigo, was born March 18, 1789, in Patrick County, VA., and camewith his father, in the year 1805, to Barren County. James was a son ofJoseph Pedigo, who was bore about the year 1760, and who was also ofVirginia.
