Read More	He appears in the 1850 census of Greenville County, in the household of his father, and at age 17. He was a man about six feet tall and with no excessive weight. He was an intelligent conversationalist and a lover of music. One of his special delights was a fox chase and foxes were plentiful in his day. He had a fox hunters voice. He had a blacksmith's right arm and was accustomed to hard work. Even in the years of the War Between The States and those immediately following, when the family was together, it was a common thing to find on the table, while the hunting season was on in earnest, a large platter of o'possum, bordered with yams. Other days there was rabbit or squirrel and occasionally wild turkey. There were large pans of chicken and dumplings, and sweet potato pie with plenty of butter, pumpkins made into custards, crackling bread, and buttermilk. The smoke-house was usually well filled. Country-cured hams and other cuts were available. There were barrels of sorghum molassas, rich in iron. The community rabbit hunt in Christmas week was a celebrated event. Neighbors would get together, call the dogs, then, through the sedge-fields, the woods and bottom lands, they would soon be chasing the 'cottontails' to everyone's delight. Around the large fireplace at eventide, he might produce his clarinet, the boys would pay the violin and banjo, the girls the organ, so they did not have to leave home for entertainment. They would sing "Amazing Grace", "Rock Of Ages", "There is a Fountain Filled With Blood", "Sweet Bye and Bye", "Come Thou Fount", "Happy Day", "Nearer My God To Thee", and "Deliverance Will Come". Three of the family members were for some years with the Taylor's Brass Band, which was organized by their Uncle Alfred Taylor. In addition to the children listed, there were two infant deaths; one was an infant son, unnamed, born and died on same day February 22, 1860; the other was an infant girl, born and died March 29, 1871.
