Luther Calvin Hendrick was born to Calvin Hendrick and Nancy Miller, in New Bethel, Breckinridge County, Kentucky. His birth date is conflicting among the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Censuses.
Luther was living in Stephensport, Kentucky, when hi registered for the Civil War.[1]
He was married twice. His first wife, Mary Ellen Miller, died when she was 38 years old. Luther remarried to Lucetta Seaton Smith in January 1870.[2]
Most family trees list Luther's death at 1908 in New Bethel, Breckinridge, Kentucky. However at the time of writing this biography I don't see any reliable sources substantiating this claim. I know that Luther is not buried on the family farm, as I was there in 2015.[3]
