James Latimer with his family first settled four or five miles east of Clarksville at a place called Round Grove. The land afterwards became the property of E. M. Bowers. The next year this pioneer family moved to the Latimer old home place three miles northeast of Clarksville, and lived there the remainder of his life. Many of the descendants are still living on this land.
