PHILIP REDD was born October 19, 1819, in Trigg County, Ky.  He is the fourth child of a family of eight born to William and Frances (Hackett) Redd, who were reared in Caroline County, Va.  The father immigrated to Christian, now Trigg County, in 1818; he engaged in farming.  Our subject at the age of eighteen was employed as manager on his father's farm--a position he held for three years.  In 1840 he went to Eddyville, Caldwell Co., and with his brother, George K., engaged in the tanning business.  In 1844 they came to Mr. Redd's present location and purchased about 3,600 acres of land and at once commenced the erection of a tannery.  This business they carried on with great success.  His brother died in December, 1883, aged seventy-one.  Mr. Redd then bought out the entire business, which consists of tannery, saw and grist-mill, a blacksmith-shop and shoe-shop, all of which are inclosed with a substantial board fence twelve feet high.  He is also engaged in the cultivation of fish, having a pond for this purpose on his premises.  His tanning business at times has been quite extensive, having sold as high as $23,000 worth of leather in a year; he is also largely engaged in farming, employing from twelve to fifteen hands.  His residence was built in 1852 at a cost of about $2,000.  Mr. Redd is one of the earliest settlers of this locality.
