Biographical History
Charles Anderson Wickliffe was born near Springfield, Kentucky, June 8, 1788. During the War of 1812, Wickliffe served as a private but was eventually promoted to aide-de-camp to Gen. Samuel Caldwell. He served as soldier and officer at the Battle of the Thames where an army of Kentuckians under congressman Richard M. Johnson defeated British and Indian forces and where the great Indian leader, Tecumseh, was killed. Wickliffe became commonwealth's attorney, state representative, and U.S. representative before becoming governor of Kentucky in 1839 after the death of Gov. James Clark. From 1841-45, Wickliffe was U.S. postmaster general. He also served in Kentucky's 1849 constitutional convention and was active in unsuccessful peace conferences prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. He was again elected to the U.S. House in 1861, but a carriage accident cut his term short the next year. Wickliffe died October 31, 1869 and was buried at Bardstown.
