The following Biography was published in 1918 in A STANDARD HISTORY OF KANSAS AND KANSANS, Vol. III; pages 1404 and 1405:
"ROBERT M. BRONAUGH of Baileyville has been a factor in the life of Kansas for considerably more than half a century. His people, were in fact, territorial pioneers. He fought when the country needed his fighting ability as a young man during the Civil War, and after that took up farming and latterly business connections with Baileyville, where he is still a merchant and is vice president of the Baileyville State Bank. He comes of old French stock and of aristocratic ancestry in America. Mr. BRONAUGH was born in Schuyler County, Illinois, May 6, 1844. His paternal ancestors some generations back were Huguenots who emigrated from France to England and from there came to America and located near Fredericksburg, Virginia. In the Old Dominion they became planters and slave holders. Mr. BRONAUGH's grandfather bore the name TALIAFERRO BRONAUGH, and he was born near Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1776, the year The Declaration of Independence was signed. In 1801 he crossed the mountains and became a Kentucky planter, raised large quantities of tobacco, and worked his plantation with the aid of slaves. He died near Hopkinsville, Kentucky in 1863. He also kept a country hotel for a number of years; he was a member of the Presbyterian Church." [MY COMMENT: TALIAFERRO BRONAUGH died on 17 Nov. 1859 in Hopkinsville and he actually arrived in Kentucky in 1795. He married JENNIE GILMOUR in Lincoln County, KY on 5 January 1796 and acquired his first parcel of land from JENNIE GILMOUR's father in that year].
"THOMAS (CLAYTON) BRONAUGH, father of ROBERT M. BRONAUGH was [the fourth child of TALIAFERRO and JENNIE BRONAUGH] born near Hopkinsville, Kentucky in 1805. He grew up and married there, and he left Kentucky and removed to Illinois in order to get away from the institution of slavery, which he thoroughly disliked.. THOMAS BRONAUGH married MARY ROLLINS, who was born in Kentucky in 1809 and died in Kansas in 1875.. THOMAS BRONAUGH went with his wife to Schuyler County, Illinois in 1830, and as a pioneer settled in that locality. In 1859, he again became a pioneer, this time in the Territory of Kansas. He bought a pre-emption in Nemaha County and for many years was successfully engaged in farming. He died on his farm near Baileyville in Marion Township in 1884..."
"ROBERT M. BRONAUGH [was the sixth child of THOMAS and MARY (ROLLINS) BRONAUGH and] was fifteen years of age when the family came to Kansas. He had attended the rural schools in Schuyler County, Illinois and afterward attended the high school at Centralia, Kansas. He lived on his father's farm until 1862 and then enlisted in Company E. of the Thirteenth Kansas Infantry and saw service for three years. One of the most important engagements in which he participated was at the Battle of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, December 7, 1862. he was also with the Union Forces that repelled the raid of General Price through southern Missouri and Kansas. With the close of the War he returned home, married soon afterward, and then actively entered upon his career as a farmer. From this farm Mr. BRONAUGH came into Baileyville and in 1894 bought an interest in a lumber and hardware business. In 1904 he sold that business and has since continued as a furniture merchant. The store, the only one of its kind in a radius of six miles, is located on Main Street and carries a complete equipment of household goods. For a number of years Mr. BRONAUGH has been interested as a stockholder in the Baileyville State Bank and is now serving as Vice President. He has sold his farm and has invested much of the surplus in the bank, in his mercantile business and in various improved real estate in Baileyville.. Mr. BRONAUGH is a democrat in politics. He served as a township trustee of Marion township. He is a member and trustee of the Presbyterian Church, is a past grand noble grand master of Baileyville Lodge No. 406, Independent Order of Odd fellows, and has represented the lodge many times in the Grand Lodge at Topeka, Fort Scott and elsewhere. He also belongs to the Knights and Ladies of Security at Baileyville, to Seneca Post No. 93, Grand Army of the Republic., and is a member of the Kansas State Historical Society.
In 1866, near Baileyville, Mr. BRONAUGH married Miss MARY CASADY, daughter of JOHN M. and ELIZA CASADY. Her father was for many years a farmer in Nemaha County, having come to this state from Ohio. He and his wife subsequently went to Oregon, where they died. Mr. and Mrs. [ROBERT M.] BRONAUGH have four children: JOHN M. is a farmer two miles south of Baileyville; OLIVE married A. B. GRIFFITHS, in the elevator and grain business in Baileyville; LAURA, who died near Baileyville in 1904, was the wife of HARRY BIGELOW, a farmer deceased. THOMAS C., is a proprietor of a dry cleaning and pressing establishment at Kansas City, Missouri..."
