Mr. Priest was born in Frederick county, Va., August 28, 1811 [sic], and was the son of Lewis and Mary Baker Priest, both natives of Virginia. Thomas S. was raised on the farm and came to Missouri in 1841. He settled in Black Creek township, five miles west of Shelbyville. He made a farm of 200 acres and lived on it until about 12 years ago when he moved to town. His farm now consisting of 545 acres he has placed in charge of his son, a young man of 16. Mr. Priest owns 140 acres beside, and has always made stock-raising his principal business, in which he has been successful beyond his fondest hopes. He is one of the substantial men of the township. He was a stockholder in the Shelby Savings Bank when that was in existence. Mr. P. has always been a Democrat, but takes little interest in politics. When he came to Missouri his mother came with him, but died in a short time. He has also lost three brothers, Madison, Henry and Jacob; and two charming young sisters, Elizabeth and Sarah. He has one living sister, Emily, widow of Samuel O. Van Vactor, of Shelbyville. Mr. Priest was married February 19, 1855, to Miss Jane E. Dunn, a sister of S. F. and P. B. Dunn. She died in 1869, and live years ago, Mr. P. married her sister Miss Susan Dunn. There are two living children, Susan Amanda and Thomas Dunn. Three daughters are deceased, Mary E. and Henrietta died within three months of each other, of consumption. They were in the first bloom and beauty of womanhood, and only the Christian's fortitude could support the bereaved parents under such a blow. Virginia J. died at the age of 18 months.
