He was born in Lewis County on June 6, 1933, a son of the late Adrian and Armilda Robinson Ginn.
Mr. Ginn was a proud American Farmer and owner/operator of Farmer’s Stockards in Flemingsburg and Kentucky King Tobacco Warehouse in Maysville.

His passion was the farmers and agricultural community in Fleming, Mason, Lewis and surrounding counties.
