BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
Marion Township.

JOHN G. HULETT is the eldest of the five children born 
to
George and Mary (Kinney) Hulett, natives respectively 
of
Pennsylvania and Kentucky. John G. was born in Greene 
County, Ky., March 13, 1813; was reared on a farm, and 
owing to the early death of his father and other stringent 
circumstances, he was unable to obtain much education. 
November 14, 1833, he married Margaret Piles, of Tennessee, 
daughter of Peter and Catharine (Richey) Piles. This 
union was succeeded by ten children--Thomas S., Catherine, 
James H. (deceased), Robert A., Elizabeth (deceased), 
Joseph H., John H., Mary, Elvira (deceased), and Margaret 
A. (deceased). In 1828, Mr. Hulett emigrated to this 
State with his parents, who afterward returned to Kentucky; 
but he remained, and has since resided in Clay and Owen 
Counties. The country was then a wilderness, and he has 
made his way, by toil and struggle, to a position of 
independence. He owns 170 acres of fine land, ornamented, 
cultivated, improved and stocked. He is one of the 
township's pioneers, a rigid Democrat, and has passed 
thirty-four years of his life in the offices of Township 
Assessor, Trustee and Justice of the Peace, which last 
office he is now holding.
