Samuel Larkins was born January 24, 1822, in Graves County, Ky. He was the son of William and Penelope (Hollowell) Larkins, both natives of North Carolina. Samuel was quite successful in business. He was Magistrate of this county for fourteen years. He was a member of the State Legislature from 1863 to 1865. He has held other county and precinct offices, quite to the satisfaction of his constituency. He was commissioned by Gov. Powell, Major of Kentucky Militia. He now owns 300 acres of land, about one half of which in improved. The Hollowell marble monument cost $2,500, is twenty five feet high, and is upon Mr. Larkin's farm. His land is perhaps among the best in the precinct. He raises corn, wheat and tobacco, and can raise almost anything that can be grown in this latitude. He was married in 1853, to Josephine Brandon, of this county. Severn J., Mattie A.., Mollie J., Robert S., Anna E.P., and Charles T., are their children. Miss Anna E. is a teacher of experience; her services are in good demand in that calling. Both parents are prominent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr. Larkins was County Elector on the Fillmore and Donelson ticket in 1856, and for Bell and Everett in 1860, and canvassed the county for these officers. He was candidate for the Legislature several times, and once for the Senate and was defeated in the latter contest. He has left the political arena, preferring to engage in other business more congenial to his nature. Mr. Larkins is a practical surveyor and engineer, and has sawed and sold more plank and lumber than any man in the county.
