Culvin S. Churchill, born in 1825, was a son of George Churchill, who was also born in Kentucky and became one of the pioneer residents of Sangamon county, arriving here when this was a frontier district in the year 1828. He entered land from the government, thus securing two hundred and forty acres, and the patents were signed by President John Quincy Adams.
Culvin S. Churchill was reared on the old homestead amid the wild scenes of pioneer life, and assisted in the arduous task of reclaiming the land for the purposes of civilization.
After arriving at years of maturity, he married Hester F. King, who in her girlhood days was brought to Sangamon county by her father, William B. King, an early settler of this locality.
Culvin S. Churchill succeeded to the ownership of the old homestead and he afterward bought more land until his property comprised three hundred and sixty acres, which he owned at the time of his death on the 8th of October, 1888. His wife had passed away in January of the previous year.
In their family were three sons and six daughters, of whom only three are now living: H. H. Churchill, and Mrs. Permelia A. Huston and Amanda P., wife of M. T. Foracker, both of Springfield.
One son, Fielding A., died at the age of twenty-one years; and George W., at the age of seven years; while Sallie, the sixth child, died in early womanhood; Emma at the age of three years; and Julia and Lizzie, twins, in infancy, the former at the age of six months and the latter at the age of nine months.
