Marion County, South Carolina - The whole text, 1902 (part 9 of 15)

McLELtAN. - Alexander McLellan and his brother, Malcolm, came to this country from Scotland, in the close of the eighteenth century, and settled on the lands on which some of their descendants now live and own. Alexander was married in Scotland, to Mary McKinnon, and lived thefe for some time after his marriage, and several children were born to them there, who died in infancy ; one, a lad, named John, died after he settled here ; he resided on the place recently the 'home of J. W. Williamson, where Daniel Walker Campbell now lives, and he died there in 1838 or 1839 ; he devoted himself to farming and stock raising, accumulating considerable wealth ; of his children who reached maturity, there were four sons, Danidl, Duncan, Archie K. and Colin ; and one daughter. Flora. Daniel lived on the homestead of his father; never married and died in i860. Duncan lived on a farm adjacent to his brother and a part of his father's old homestead ; he never married, and died in 1872. The plantation where Duncan lived has been divided - z part owned by R. P. Hamer, Sr., another part by R. P. Hamer, Jr., and still another part by Neill McDuffie, and on which he now resides. Archie K. McLellan married Miss Harriet Rogers, a daughter of Timothy Rogers, 4th December, 1833 (where Dr. J. F. Bethea now resides). The writer attended the wedding; there were more people there than he ever saw convened on such an occasion - ^the cavalcade that accompanied the groom was over one hundred. He settled on lands adjoining his brothers, Daniel and Duncan, and near his father's homestead, and resided there for many years, and then removed to North Carolina, remaining there till after the death of his brother, Duncan, and inheriting the homestead tract of his brother, he returned to South Carolina, and lived until his death, in 1887 ; he raised a large family of children - nine sons and five daughter; the sons were Malcolm, Alexander, Timothy R., Daniel, John B., Archie K., Jr., F. Tristram, Duncan and Robert. Malcolm moved to Pollard, Ala., when quite a youth; was married there to Miss Celia Jernagen, and lived and died there. Alexander was a brave and gallant soldier in a North Carolina regiment; he was captured and died in prison. He married, during the war. Miss Roxanna Gaddy, but left no children. Timothy R. married Flora Amanda McCormick, daughter of James Hunt McCormick ; he resided near the old homestead of his father until his death, in 1897 ; his widow and eight children, four sons and four daughters, survive him. Daniel lived with his father until his death, and remained there until the old homestead was broken up and sold for division; he married Miss Sallie Legette, of North Carolina, in 1888; after her death, in 1892, he removed to North Carolina, where he now lives. John B., on attaining his majority, went to Benton, Ala., where he remained during his life; he was a man of splendid ability, and was elected to an important office of public trust, which he filled for many years ; he was married to Miss Patty Blackshear, of Alabama, who, with three daughters, survive him. Archie K., Jr., lives in North Carolint, and is unmarried. F. Tristram is at present writing the very efficient Auditor of Marion County, to which he was elected in 1896, and again in 1898, and resides at Marion C. H. ; he married, in 1899, Miss Harrelson, of this county. Duncan formerly lived in this county, but removed to North Carolina; he has been twice married; first, to Miss Hannah Wiggins, and then to a Miss Willis ; his first wife left two children, a son and a daughter. The son, John Robert, was adopted by his Uncle Tristram, and is the Assistant Auditor of the county ; he is a bright and intelligent youth. The daughters of Archie K., Sr., were Sarah, Margaret, Mary Ann, Flora and Moranza. Margaret married Allen Seely, and moved to North Carolina. Mary Ann married Archie Stewart, and also moved to North Carolina. The other daughters, Sarah, Flora and Moranza, are all unmarried, and live with their brother, Archie K., Jr., in North Carolina. Flora, the daughter of old Alexander McLellan, married' Dougald B. Carmichael ; they both lived on the place they settled upon, and died there; it is now owned and occupied by their youngest son, Malcolm C. Carmichael; she died at an advanced age, in 1877, her husband having died, in 1857, at the age of seventy-eight; the fruits of their marriage were two daughters, Mary Ann and Catharine, and five sons, Alexander A., Duncan C, Daniel, John L. and Malcolm C. Mary Ann, the oldest daughter (and, I believe, the oldest child), married Neill McDuffie; both are still living,* in far advanced age; they and their numerous family will be further noticed among the McDuffie family, sequeus. The daughter, Catharine, married Neill B. McQueen ; she lived only a short time, and died ; it is not known whether she left any offspring. The five sons all volunteered in the early part of the war ; three of them, Alexander A., Daniel and John L., were killed or died in the service; the other two remained in service to the end, and returned home; Duncan C. and Malcolm C. still live, and are energetic and progressive farmers; have fine lands and are successful. Duncan C. Carmichael (farniliarly called "Red Duncan"), married, first, Miss Sallie McKinnon, of North Carolina; she died, leaving two children - one son, Dougald A., and one daughter, Charlotte. Dougald A. went to Georgia, where he still lives. Charlotte married NeiU J. Carmichael; he married, the second time, Lemantha Walters, of North Carolina; she has four children, none of whom are grown. Malcolm C. Carmichael, fifth son of Dougald B. and

Flora, married Miss Amanda Carmichael, daughter of "Hatter John;" they have eight children - ^four sons, Albert E., John L., Neill C. and Walter; four daughters. Flora C, Ann Murphy, Martha and Mary. Albert E. and Neill C. moved to Mississippi, where they are prosperously engaged in the turpentine business. John L. died when about eight years old. Walter, the youngest son, is still at school. Flora C, the eldest daughter, married S. A. McQueen, of North Carolina; they live at Red Springs, N. C. Ann Murphy married Alexander McLellan, and they live at Dillon. Martha and Mary are still single, and are with their parents. Dougald B. Carmichael, the husband and father, was a very quiet, peaceable man, of lymphatic temperament and a man of remarkable equanimity ; he was a blacksmith by trade - 'a. good trade in those days ; he did a great deal of work in the shop, whilst his wife, Flora, looked after the 'house department and somewhat after the farm; and after his death she looked after it all, except the blacksmith shop; Mrs. Carmichael was no ordinary woman; she had mind enough to grasp anything and everything in the affairs of life ; a woman of fine physique, her mental qualities were of a superior order ; of sanguine temperament, a cheerful disposition, of boundless ambition, and had the energy to back it up; made 'her hospitable home the seat of comfort ;- method and order were displayed in all the household affairs ; she took the troubles of the war, the death of her daughter, Catharine, and husband, the loss of three sons in the struggles of war, philosophically, and with heroic courage set to work to repair the losses in property and means as far as s'he could, and help and render comfortable her surviving children ; she succeeded well in so doing, and left them not only in homes of their own, but also left them her virtuous example, which is worth more than gold and silver. Colin McLellan, the youngest son and youngest child of old Alexandter McLellan, married Rebecca Bethea, oldest daughter of "Buck Swamp" William Bethea ; he settled on the place where he lived and died, in 1858 ; he was a successful farmer ; he raised a family of four children, two sons and two daughters ; the sons were William and Daniel ; the two daughters were Mary and Flora. The sons were Confederate soldiers and served through the war in Captain Ful- more'6 company, Fifty-first Regiment, North Carolina Volunteers. Daniel died at the old home, in 1868, when quite a young man. William moved to North Carolina, and married Victoria McCormick, a daughter of James McCormick; he settled on lands inherited from his father in North Carolina, and was a successful farmer ; but in a personal difficulty with an employee, Thomas Gilchrist, he was shot and killed, in 1872. Mary, the eldest daughter, married Carl Faulk, and moved to North Carolina, and died a few years ago. Flora married Richard Faulk, and resided for several years on her father's old homestead, on Buck Swamp, but removed to North Carolina a few years ago, where she now lives.

There was and is another family of McLellans in the county. The first of them known to the writer was Rev. Archie McL,ellan, and a blacksmith; he lived on the south side of Catfish, on Pigeon Bay; he was a local Methodist preacher; had a small farm, which he cultivated; he was a good man - the "salt of the earth ;" he married a Miss Buie ; had and raised a considerable family of several sons and daughters; he hud also two orphan nephews, sons of a deceased brother, whom he raised' - their names were John and Angus McLellan. Just before the war, the old gentleman sold his place on Pigeon Bay, and moved off to Britton's Neck, and bought another place, where he lived and died some time after the war ; by his removal the writer lost sight of his family. Two sons, Peter and Enos, are remembered, and only two daughters are remembered^ - one named Elizabeth, the other name not remembred, but she married a Mr. Moore. His two oldest children, Elizabeth and Peter, together with his nephews, John and Angus, went to school to the writer in 1840, sixty years ago. Peter Mcl/ellan was also a blacksmith ; he married a Miss Lane, a daughter of the late James C. Lane, and lived and followed his trade for some years at Little Rock, S. C. ; he died and left some family; of them, however, nothing is known. Enos, another son, married a Miss Myers, of West Marion, and now lives at Dillon, a widower - his wife having died some years ago ; he has not remarried^ ; he has four or five daughters, some of whom are grown ; he is a poor man, but a man of fine character, strict integrity and a hard worker. Elizabeth, the oldest child, has never married. Mrs. Moore was made a widow, about the time of General Lee's surrender, by the atrocious murder of her husband, at Little Rock. Moore was a good soldier of the Confederacy, was at home at the time, near Little Rock, on furlough, with a broken arm in a sling - fresh from a battle, in which his arm had been broken by a Minie ball or piece of shell ; he went up to Little Rock, one afternoon, where he met with some parties who had imbibed spirits other than the patriotic spirit of the times, and they charged him with being a spy for the deserters of Maple Swamp notoriety, which he denied most vigorously - yet they shot and broke his other arm ; he fell, and they walked up to him arid cut his throjat, dragged him off a few steps, and partially buried him in the jamb of a fence. His distressed wife, after the garrison came to Marion, went to the commandant for redress ; they said they had no jurisdiction in the matter, but they advised her to go to the civil authorities and get a warrant for the arrest of the parties accused ; she accordingly did so, and the warrant was lodged with the Sheriff ; but no arrests were made, for reasons of State policy - ^that is, the authorities high in official life did not countenance prosecutions for murder committed during the war or just after the surrender - ^because, if the door was opened to such prosecutions, it would work both ways and would involve many of our best citizens ; hence the warrant in question was never executed. It was, nevertheless, an inexcusable murder; the parties charged are all now dead, and have been for several years. I could specify more particularly as to the policy of the State, and as to the offense and the parties charged, but these things are already known. The widow remained in the neighborhood for two or three years and disappeared - at least, so far as is known to the writer. A girl raised by the late Samuel Stevenson (called Bettie Stevenson), and who married a Mr. Dozier, son of the late Dr. T. J. Dozier, of Britton's Neck, was the daughter of Mr. Moore, the man murdered - whether by a former marriage or by the McLellan marriage, the writer knoweth not. Old Archie McLellan, the preacher and blacksmith, -was a Scotchman, and, perhaps, related to the McLellans, of Carmichael Township; he was an upright and just man.

S1NC1.AIR. - Archie Sinclair was a resident of Harlleesville Township, above Little Rock ; he came from Scotland, in 1820, and settled on the place wliere he lived and died ; his youngest daughter, Mary, now owning and living on his old homestead, and one of his grand-sons, A. M. McColI, living with her. (A. M. McColl died a few days ago, unmarried). He married, in Scotland, Catharine McGilvray, and they raised five sons and three daughters. The eldest son, John C, was born in Scotland, and when he attained manhood here, was married to the Widow Jennette MeLucas ; he died in 1852. Duncan removed to Georgia, and married and died there, leaving a family of grown-up children. Captain Daniel C. was the third son; he served throughout the war in cavalry ; was one of the 'best farmers in the county, and a pioneer in the development of the now famous Contrary Swamp section of Carmichael Township ; he accumulated by his farming operations a handsome property; he never married, and died in 1882. The fourth son. Captain A. C. Sinclair, has already been mentioned in or among the Blue family. The fifth son, Malcolm, was a soldier in the Confederate army, in Fairlee's company, Orr's Rifles, and died in the hospital in Charlottesville, Va. His eldest daughter, Nancy, married John L. McCall, Esq., of Marlborough, and they had a large family. Colonel C. S. McCall, of Bennettsville, is the eldest ; he is one of the most successful men in the Pee Dee section of the State; conducts the largest mercantile business in this section, and owns several large plantations in Marlborough, which he, with his next oldest brother, T. Dickson McColl, manage very successfully ; he has been, since 1876, three times elected State Senator from Marlborough, and on account of his manifold business connections, declined further service in the Senate ; he has been frequently mentioned and solicited to become Governor of the State; he has never married. His other brothers, J. G. B. McColl and A. M. McColl (both now dead), own and successfully conduct the famous "Contrary Swamp" plantation, formerly owned by their uncle. Captain D. C. Sinclair; neither of them have ever married. The youngest son, John, is blind, but is a remarkably bright young man and a fine musician ; he and his mother live near Bennettsville. Since the death of Squire McCall, their eldest daughter married John A. Pate, and they live in Bamherg, S. C. The second daughter, Pocahontas, married a Mr. Roper, and lives in Williamsburg County. The third daughter, Kate, married Hon. H. H. Newton, and lives in Bennettsville. The youngest daughter, Sallie, married Joe Edens, and lives near Clio, S. C. The second daughter of old Archie Sinclair, Sallie, never married, and died in 1869. The youngest daughter, Mary Sinclair, as elsewhere herein imentioned, never married, and lives on the old Archie Sinclair homestead. There are but few of this family, but what there are of them seem to prosper in everything except in the matrimonial field - they don't marry much.

McDuFFiE. - Alexander McDuffie, with his brothers, Duncan, George and Daniel, were the sons of Archie McDuffie, who came from Scotland, and settled on the Raft Swamp, in North Carolina, and died there, his sons and two diaughters removing to this county after his death. Alexander, the eldest, settling on what is now known as the old "McDuffie place," on Little Pee Dee, where the Rev. J. H. Moody now lives ; he married Jennette McQueen, and had seven sons and two daughters. Mary, the eldest daughter, married Daniel Fore, on Spring Branch, who has already been noticed in or among the Fore family. The eldest daughter of Daniel and Mary Fore married Douglas Mclntyre, who has already been mentioned in or among the Mclntyres. Margaret, the other daughter of Alexander McDuffie, married Edward D. Carmichael, a son of "Hatter John," and had one child, a daughter, also named Margaret, and she lives with her aunts, Nancy and Katie Carmichael, on the old homestead of "Hatter John" Carmichael. Hon. A. Q. McDuffie was the oldest son, he was a lawyer, a graduate of Davidson College, and before he read law taught school for several years. The writer went to school to him at Pine Hill Academy, during the year 1844. He settled and lived and died at Marion Court House, and was for a long time the partner of General W. W. Harllee, and in their day had the finest practice of any firm at that bar ; he married the widow of Dr. James R. McQueen, who was the daughter of Captain Singletary, one of the old landmarks of Marion ; by this mar- riage three children were born, a son, named Alexander, who died when two or three years old, and two daughters, L,izzie and Jennie; both are yet living, and unmarried. Lizzie, the eldest, is or was the finest female scholar in her day in the town of Marion ; she graduated at Due West Female College in one year after matriculation, and was then elected one of its professors ; she accepted the position and held it for one year, and on account of her failing health, resigned and came home. Jennette was also well educated, and after their father's death, 31st March, 1889, they 'both engaged in teaching, which they continued at intervals till after their mother's death ; they own a plantation in Woodberry Township; don't think they reside on it, but rent it out ; When last heard of, they were in Hampton or Colleton County, both teaching school ; they are unmarried. "A. Q." McDuffie, as he was familiarly called by everybody, was for eight or ten years before bis being stricken with paralysis, and of which he died, after living two or three years, Master in Equity for M'arion County. Just after the war, in 1866, under Andrew Johnson's proclamiation, during Governor B. F. Perry's administration of the State government, at one election held throughout the State for Senators and Representatives in the Legislature, "A. Q." McDuffie was elected Senator for or from' Marion District, and served one session of the Legislature - which election and all the legislation of .that session of the Legislature was made void by the Reconstruction Acts of Congress - his senatorship was vacated or set aside. "A. Q." McDuffie, being a very diffident man, was not an effective public speaker, but he was a good office lawyer and a safe adviser. Neill McDuffie was the second' son of Alexander ; he is the oldest citizen now living in Carmichael Township, now nearing eighty-three, but is hale and healthy, and remarkably active for a man of 'his age; he was too old for active service in the war, but he volunteered and was a Lieutenant in the reserves, and saw much service about Georgetown and Charleston, S. C, and Savannah, Ga. He married, in early life, Mary Ann, the oldest daughter of Dougald B. Carmichael, and they have raised six sons and six daughters; the sons are Alexander, Dallas, George, John, Daniel and Dougald. George and John are dead, all the others are living with their father and mother. Dougald, being a skillful first class mechanic, is much of his time away. The other three are industrious, persevering young men, and are farmers; they run a store of general merchandise at Hamer, in connection with their farming operations; they are all unmarried. The six daughters are Katie, Nancy, Flora, Margaret, Martha and Sallie. Margaret married Neill Duncan ' McEachem ; theyhave four daughters, all nearly grown, and live at McColl, S. C. Sallie died when about grown ; the other four are unmarried, and live with their father. Of the next sons of old Alexander McDuffie, John and George, the latter a physician, went West, and both are dead ; neither of them were married. Alexander, the next son, died at his home, when about grown. Daniel, the next one, was a brave and gallant soldier in Captain A. T. Harllee's company of the Eighth South Carolina Regiment ; he was Second Sergeant of the company ; he was mortally wounded 2d July, 1863, at the battle of Gettysburg, and died the next morning. Duncan McDuffie was the youngest son of old Alexander, graduated at Oglethorpe College, in Georgia ; he is a Presbyterian preacher, and now lives in Florence County, S. C, and has been School Commissioner of that county; he married Margaret Clark, a daughter of Malcolm Clark, and they raised a family of four sons and two daughters, all grown ; his first wife died, and he has married again in Florence County. Alexander McDuffie had two sisters, who lived with him. The eldest, Margaret, married John Murphy, and had three sons, viz : Archie, Edward J. and Malcolm. The two latter died while young. Edward J. Murphy was- a graduate of some college in Virginia, and was a young man of more than ordinary ability and promise. Archie Murphy married Nancy Carmichael, daughter of Duncan Carmichael, and sister of Dugald B. ; he was a hatter by trade, and settled on Little Pee Dee, Enos Moody now owning the place and living upon it ; he died there ; they had three sons, John, Duncan and Dr. Neill C. Murphy - all of them were in the Confederate army ; John was in Captain W. D. Carmiohael's company of the Eighth Regiment ; Duncan was Second Lieutenant in Captain Stafford's company, and was killed in battle in Virginia ; Dr. Neill C. Murphy was Assistant Surgeon of the Tenth Regi- ment. Dr. Murphy married, since the war, Mary, the daughter of the late George W. Reaves, and he lived and died at Marion Court House, 4th September, 1886 ; his widow survives him and lives at his old home, near Marion ; they raised three sons and two daughters. The elder daughter married a Mr. McMillan, and, I think, they live in Clarendon County. Edward Murphy, one of the sons, is a popular teacher of the county. Nancy, the other sister of old Alexander McDufifie, married Malcolm Carmichael, and removed to Alabama soon after their marriage; they raised a large family of children, many of them wealthy and prominent citizens of that State, one of them having been a Judge of the Courts there. Duncan McDuffie, brother of old Alexander, married Mary Carmichael, sister of Sheriff Archie and "Hatter" John ; they had four sons, viz : Archie B., who never married, was a prominent commission merchant in Wilmington, N. C, and is now dead. Neill C. was Sheriff of the county before the war, and without disparaging' other Sheriffs, will say he was one of the best Sheriffs Marion has ever had. He raised a company as Captain and went into the Twenty-third Regiment, and served through the war. In January, 1865, was again elected Sheriff, and after a protest against his election was decided in his favor, he went into the office again in April, 1865 ; he held the office for two years, when he resigned. The office was not worth much at that time, under bayonet rule ; his reasons for resigning, as he told the writer, were, that if he held on, he would have to hurt his sureties or let his family suffer, hence the resignation. He married, first. Miss Lizzie Ford, daughter of Elias B. Ford, and after her death he married her sister. Miss Fannie; he raised a family of children, sons and daughters. One of the daughters married Prof. Kenedy, of Clinton, S. C. Another marf-ied Dr. William A. Oliver, who was a few years ago a Representative in the Legislature from Marion County, a fine physician and a good farmer; he was the pioneer in tobacco culture in Hillsboro Township; he is now dead. Another of Neill C.'s daughters married Shepherd Oliver, of Robeson County, N. C, and he has several times represented his county in the Legislature of that State. Another of his daughters married Johnson Gilchrist; they live at Gilchrist Bridge, on

Little Pee Dee ; they have some children. Another daughter, Madge, married a Mr. Herring, of North Carolina. Of N. C. McDuffie's sons, one, Julius, is a Baptist preacher in North Carolina. Another son, D. K. McDuffie, who lives at MuUins, an excellent nian every way, and successful business man at that place, married Miss' Maggie Haselden, daughter of the late Cyrus B. Haselden; they have two children, a daughter and a son, not grown. Two other Sons of Neill C, twins, Watson and Ellerbe,* have removed elsewhere - think they are both married. And still another son, the youngest, named for his father, Neill C, is also married, and lives in Williamsburg County, S. C. Duncan D. McDuffie, the third son of Duncan, his father, married Miss Penelope Ford, another daughter of Elias B. Ford, and is now living on his father's old homestead, in the "Fork," between Buck Swamp and Little Pee Dee; he has raised a family of several children. One son, Duncan, in El Paso, Tex. Another son, name not remembered - ^Jasper, I believe - died a young man. Another son, Emerson, the leading machinist in this part of the State, and owning and running an iron foundry and machine works at Marion. Duncan D. McDuffie served throughout the war, and was a Lieutenant in the Tenth South Carolina Regiment, in Manigault's Brigade, of the Western army. D. D. McDuffie is one of our best citizens and a leading man in his neighborhood; he has some daughters, to th,e writer unknown ; think he has educated his daughters well. George Alexander, another son of Duncan, moved to Horry County, and married a Miss Alford there, but moved back to the old homestead and died there. Nancy, the only daughter of Duncan, married Isham H. Watson, who was once the Coroner of the county and a good citizen ; he and his first wife are both dead - she died of small-pox, i6th January, 1864; he married again. Miss Mary Nichols, who has no children; he had two sons, George Elmore and Duncan J. Watson, and one daughter, now the wife of J. D. Montgomery. These have already been mentioned in or among the Watson family. George, the third brother of old Alexander, died

*Ellerbe McDuffie was killed, by the blowing up of a steam saw mill recently in Williamsburg County, a prosperous young man. His remains were brought to MuUins and buried there, near his father.

while a young man ; he was a hatter by trade, and never married. Daniel, the youngest of the four brothers, married a Miss Blue, and they left a son, William. These have already been noticed in or among the Blue family.

Campbei^l. - Edward Campbell was the first of the family of that name that settled north of Little Pee Dee. He came from Scotland with a family of children, and settled near where Hamer station, on the Florence Railroad, is located ; the land on which he lived is now owned by Neill McDuffie. He was a sturdy old Scotchman ; his wife was Mary McLellan, and others of her name and quite a colony came across the ocean with old Edward - some of them settling in Cumberland and Robeson Counties, N. C, others settled in Marion County, S. C. Old Edward, after living here many years, went West, and all his family went with him except his son, Duncan Campbell, who had married and settled on Little Pee Dee, where his son, Daniel, now lives. Duncan Campbell was another old settler on the east side of Little Pee Dee, south of Hayes Swamp ; he came from Scotland with his father, Edward, and owned a large body of land; he married Margaret McEachem, and they raised a family of three sons and five daughters- Edward and Neill both died long before the war. Edward married Martha. J. McCollum, daughter of Dougald McCollum, of North Carolina, and they had one child. Flora Margaret, who married George J. Bethea, of Buck Swamp, near Latta, where they now live, and have raised a large family of children. Neill Campbell never married. The youngest son, Daniel, is among the oldest and staunchest citizens of that community, and lives on the old homestead where he was born and raised, and where his father lived and died. It is a notable fact that may be here noted, that throughout Carmiohael Township there are but four men who live upon and own the homesteads of their fathers, who were the original settlers of said homesteads, and who are owning and living upon the same, viz : Daniel Campbell, Malcolm C. Carmiohael, Daniel M. Carmichael and Captain A. T. Harllee, although much of the lands in the township are owned by and lived upc>n by the descendants of the original settlers. Daniel Campbell served throughout the war in the company of his nephew, Captain J. H. Stafford, and was a true and brave soldier, undergoing many hardships from which he is still a sufferer ; before the war, he married Eliza, the eldest daughter of "Hatter" John Carmichael (the name by which that old Scotchman loved to be called), and has raised a large family of sons and daughters, two of the latter being married to industrious and worthy citizens of North Carolina ; the two youngest, with his two youngest sons, Neill Murdoch and Oscar, living with him; his two eldest sons, Duncan M. and John Edward, both died several years ago. Another son, Daniel Walker, married the eldest daughter of Joseph W. Williamson ; they live near Kentyre Church, he being one of the RuKng Elders ; he is also an earnest Mason of the lodge at Dillon, also a Knight of Phythias of the lodge there, a School Trustee of the township, and a sturdy, staunch and progressive citizen. Another son, William Simeon, is largely engaged in the manufacture and shipping of shingles to the northern markets ; he, too, is a worthy young man and up-to^ate citizen; he was quite recently married to Miss Sue Campbell, the youngest daughter of Hugh Campbell, formerly a citizen of Cumberland County, N. C, but for many years past a citizen of this county. Old Duncan Campbell raised five daughters. The eldest married Malcolm Stafford, as already noticed in or among the Stafford family. Another daughter, Mary, married Leonard Walters, and removed to Alabama, and raised a large family, her sons being among the wealthiest men about Montgomery, Ala. Christian, another daughter, married A. S. Buie, who, in his lifetime, was a peaceable, industrious and Christian gentleman; they had three daughters. The eldest, Louisa, married Gilbert Butler; both are dead. The next, Margaret, married Calvin C. Carmichael, and are living. Nancy married Robert Monroe, of North Carolina ; both are dead. Margaret, the youngest, died when about grown, ffom yellow fever, which she contracted from going with her father to Charleston, in the month of August, with a drove of sheep and turkeys ; several of the negroes who went with him also contracted the disease, and some of them died ; Duncan Campbell himself took the fever and died also; he left a large estate unencumbered for his widow and children. There are other families of the name of Campbell in the township in no way related to each other. Duncan Campbell was the original settler in that region; he was a unique character. It was told of him, that once he was drawn to serve on the jury at Marion, twenty-five miles away ; that on Sunday night, while at the supper table, he said to his wife that she must he up before day and get him breakfast before he started to Marion. He still sat at the table talking about the trip to Marion ; that he must be there by lo o'clock; that he must have his breakfast early, and so forth; at last he said to his wife, "Peggy," as he called her, "if you will get it, I will eat it now - it will be in me and I can get up and start when I please."

There are other families of Campbells in the county. Campbell is a very populous name. Such as I know and know of will now be mentioned. The family of the Campbells that formerly lived (and some of them may be there now), about Campbell's Bridge, were old Peter Campbell, who came from Scotland, about 1800, and settled on the east side of I<ittle Pee Dee, near where Campbell's Bridge now is; don't know who his wife was ; he had and raised six sons - ^Alexander, Archie, Duncan, James, Hugh and David - who are all long since dead. Alexander Campbell lived on the east side of Little Pee Dee; don't know who his wife was ; he had one son, John J. Campbell, who married a daughter of John D. McRae, in Marlborough; he disappeared or was lost sight of after the war; his father was a jolly old Scotchman, was a farmer, who had some property, but was not considered rich, yet he lived at his own home and had plenty to live on ; he died many years ago - think John J. was his only child. Archie Campbell lived on the west side of the river, not far from Campbell's Bridge; he married a Miss Paul ; he raised four sons, John P., Peter, William P. and Alexander. John P. and one of his sisters, Sarah Ann, I believe, together with his brother, Peter, lived on the old homestead together before and during the war ; neither of whom ever married, and all died since the war. Alexander married and had a family, and lived just below Campbell's Bridge ; don't know who he married or how many children be had, nor what has become of them. William R., the most active and most prominent one of the sons of old Archie, mar- ried a sister of Wm. S. Camipbell, who lived and died near Ebenezer Church and Temperance Hill ; they had one son only, who died with typhoid fever, about 1855, after being down with it for four months, the only child. Wm. P. Campbell was Deputy Sheriff for Neill C. McDuffie during his term of office, from 1857 ^ 1861, and was very effective as Deputy, and was also very popular personally; he was elected, in January, 1861, as successor to McDuffie. Under the then Constitution of the State (Constitution of 1790), a Sheriff was not re-eligible to election to a succeeding term of four years - hence McDuffie could not succeed himself. Wm. P. Campbell went into office, in April, 1861, just as the war was commencing. It was a trying time to a Sheriff, but Campbell, nevertheless, discharged his duty faithfully and satisfactorily until the fall of 1863, when he was killed, near the home of his birth, one night just after dark, and when he was actually in the discharge of a public duty, by the leader of a gang of Maple Swamp deserters. He was in his buggy, and there were two buggies along in a path that led through a thick woods, from one road to another ; two of the company were carrying a light before them or on each side (a very unwise act to have the light, as it enabled the assassin to pick his man, the Sheriff) ; when his buggy passed, the assassin stepped in the road behind him and shot him in the back; Campbell did not fall out of the vehicle, but he was d«ad, and his brother, Peter, got up into the buggy with him and held him therein till they got to the house, two or three hundred' yards off. He had gotten an order, as Sheriff, from the authorities, either civil or military, to arrest those Maple Swamp deserters, so as to send them to the army; he obeyed the order, as he did all orders, and gathered some men to go with him up there to hunt for and to arrest them - ^don't remember who all the men were that were with him; Captain Samuel T. Page was one of them, and who yet lives and can tell about it, although in his eightythird year. Thus an efficient officer and a good man was assassinated in the dark. The county was then without a Sheriff ; Is'ham H. Watson was then Coroner and by operation of law became Sheriff and conducted the office until the next general election for Sheriff came on, in January, 1865, when

Neill C. McDuffie was again elected, and went into office, in April, 1865, as hereinbefore stated. Campbell's widow, childless, went to her people, and died a few years after the war. There are many yet living who gratefully remember Wm. P. Campbell. In the early fifties, the Campbell brothers went into a mercantile business at CampbeH's Bridge, under the firm name of A. Campbell & Co. The business was not successful, and they failed about 1855 ; it was managed mainly by Alexander ; they were harassed for a few years by creditors in the Courts, but managed some way to save their homes. Hugh Campbell, one of the six brothers, married Miss Absala Bethea, daughter of Buck Swamp William Bethea, and settled at and owned the land at Campbell's Bridge - the bridge was so called because the Campbells lived around it, and owned all the lands round about. Hugh Campbelll settled and lived and died where his grand-son, William Hugh Breeden, with his mother, now lives ; he in a short while died, leaving his widow and one child, a daughter, Adaline. The widow continued to reside there, and raised her daughter; she also prospered and was well-to-do. Adaline married, about 1848, John A. Breeden, a native of Marlborough County, and first cousin of J. B. Breeden and his brothers, Joseph and others. John A. Breeden was in some respects a remarkable man, of very quick and acute perceptions ; his habits were not good, yet he managed well and kept his property ; he lived on the place with his mother-in-law till her death ; after which he remained there till his death, some fifteen or twenty years ago ; he raised a family of three daughters and one son, William H. Breeden. The oldest daughter, Mollie, married Wesley Stackhouse ; they have a considerable family, sons and daughters, some of whom are grown ; they live at Dillon. The second daughter, Jackey, married Frank Edens; they live in North Carolina, and have eight or ten children, some of them grown - a first class family and are well-to-do. The third daughter, Absala, named for her grand-mother, but called "Appey," married Faulk Floyd, of Robeson County, N. C, who was Sheriff of that county at the time of the marriage ; they live in Robeson, and have only one child, a diaughter. Pearl. The son, William H. Breeden, a capital citizen, married Miss Victoria Godbold, daughter of the late Asa Godbold, Jr. ; they reside with his mother, AdaUne, who yet Hves, at the old homestead of Hugh Campbell, his grand-father. William H. Breeden has no children ; is a very quiet man and well informed on most subjects. The name Breeden is likely to become extinct in the county. James Campbell, son of old Peter, married in North Carolina, and moved to that State. Duncan Campbell, another son of old Peter, married and settled just above Campbell's Bridge, on the west side of the river; don't know who he married; he had and raised two children^ a son, named Hugh, and a daughter, Mary Ann. Mary Ann married Hugh Dove, near Campbell's Bridge, and, I think, had two or three children ; her husband, Hugh Dove, was killed, about 1855, by her brother, Hugh Campbell - a wilful and premeditated murder. Hugh Campbell fled from the country and has not been heard of since. David Campbell, another son of old Peter, married some lady in North Carolina, and went to that State and died there ; know nothing further of him.

Another family of Campbells to be next noticed are those living in the Ebenezer and Temperance Hill community. The first known of this family was William S. Campbell, who was one of our best and most respected citizens - unpretending, no display, but gave close attention to his business, and treated that of others with "masterly inactivity ;" he married, and raised three daughters and two sons, John C. and Samuel. The eldest daughter, Flora, married Stephen L. Lane, who was killed in the last battle fought during the war, at Smithfield, in North Carolina ; they had and raised a family of sons and daughters; the widow managed well after the death of her husband ; took care of the property and perhaps added to it ; she died some few years ago ; she had a son, named William, and a daughter, that became the second wife of Meredith Watson. Another daughter married our fellow-citizen, now at Marion, W. J. B. Campbell, and who is merchandizing there ; she, perhaps, had other children, unknown to the writer. Another daughter of old Wm. S. Campbell, married John E. Perritt, whose family has already been noticed in or among the Perritt family. And still another, the third daughter, I think, her name was Mary, married David Perritt, a nephew of John

E. Perritt; he died' soon and left her a widow; don't know if she had any child or children. John C. Campbell, the older son, married Miss Amelia Tart, a daughter of old James Tart, who lived and died just above E. J. Moody's mill, now owned by Governor Ellerbe's estate. By this marriage nine sons were bom and two daughters; the sons were Byroii, Preston, Valcour, Samuel, Frank, W. J. Beauregard, Thomas LeGrande and another whose name is not remembered. Of the sons, Valoour, Frank and Thomas are dead - died unmarried; Byron went to Texas ; Preston married some one to the writer unknown ; also the same of Samuel ; W. J. Beauregard married his first cousin, the daughter of Stephen L,ane and Flora, his wife, aibove mentioned. W. J. Beauregard Campbell owns the old homestead, or the greater part of it, situate just below Ebenezer Church, eight miles above Marion ; don't know if he has any children. LeGrande is yet single, and is also merchandising at Marion. Of the two daughters of John C. Campbell, Roberta and Romine, one of them' died unmarried, but grown and very handsome ; the other married Samuel L,ane and lives near by. Samuel Campbell, the younger son of old William S., married, first, a Miss Fore, and has already been noticed in or among the Fore family ; she had one daughter, who married Herod W. Allen, and is dead. Samuel Campbell married, a second time, a Miss Hays, daughter of Levi H. Hays, and sister of W. B. Hays, of Hillsboro Township ; by this marriage three daughters were born to them, names unknown. One married James L,ane ; they have some family, how much is not known. Another daughter married Thomas A. Lamb; they had four or five children, two or three years ago, when they left here and went to Florida, where they are now. The other daughter married some one and went off ; don't know what has become of her. Samuel Campbell's widow still survives, and is on the old homestead. John C. Campbell and his wife are both dead. Old William S. Campbell was no ordinary man ; quiet and unassuming, thought right and acted right; prudent and seldom made mistakes ; neither of bis sons were equal to him ; he made a good property and transmitted it by will to his children unencumbered.

knows nothing about them. There is a family near Hamer, Hugh Campbell, ; think he came from North Carolina ; have been told that he has six sons and two daughters. The elder daughter married John B. McEachem, near Hainer, a verysubstantial man and a good farmer; they have one or two children. The younger daughter, Sue, a charming girl, has lately married William Simeon Campbell, a son of Daniel GaiiipbeUi who has already been mentioned herein. Hugh Campbell has six sons, but the writer knows only two of them by name - ^John, I think, the oldest, and James, perhaps, the youngest, who was recently telegraph operator and dq>ot agent at Sellers, on the Florence Railroad, for some time, now at Elrod, on the same road.

Butler. - The Butler family will next be noticed. They live on Hays Swamp and Little Pee Dee, and they are the descendants of old Isham Butler, who was one of the first settlers of that region of the county ; he was the father of Stephen and Isham Butler of later times, and had six daughters. Annie, the oldest, never maTried, but lived and died at the homestead of her brother, Isham. Laney married her cousin, Dempsy Butler, and they have one son, Alfred W. Butler, who has a large family of grown-up children, and lives on the plantation formerly owned by Neill McDuffie, near Stafford's Bridge. Patience, the third daughter, married Green Watson, and moved to Alabama. Polly married Stephen Moody, and moved to Tennessee. Zilla married Reuben Paul, and he and she both died before the war, without issue. The youngest, Susan, died unmarried, when about eighteen years old. Ste- ' phen Butler was the oldest son of old Isham, and he and his brother, Isham, lived near each other ; J. W. Dillon & Son own the old homestead of Isham, and R. P. Hamer, Jr., a part of that of Stephen, which was sold a few years ago for division ; the descendants of Stephen live on the other parts of his old homestead. Stephen Butler married Katie McEachem, and had three sons, Gilbert, Silas and Thomas, all of them good soldiers - Gilbert and Thomas in Captain Stafford's company, and Silas in Captain W- D. Carmichaers company. Eighth Regiment. Silas came home on sick furlough, and died in one week after reaching home. Gilbert married, first, before the war, Ivouisa, the eldest daughter of A. S. Buie ; they are both dfead, and left three children, all grown. The youngest daughter is a deaf-mute, but was well educated at the Cedar Springs Institute, and is a young woman of remarkable intelligence; she lives with her brother, in North Carolina. Thomas Butler, the youngest son, married Mary, the daughter of Cade B. Rogers ; both of them are dead, but left a family of four daughters and two sons, who are living on a portion of the old Stephen' Butler homestead. Of the four daughters of Stephen Butler, the eldest, Jennie, married William Blue, before the war; he was killed in battle in Virginia, in Captain Stafford's company, and his widow survives and lives at McCoU, S. C. Clarissa, the next oldest daughter, married Allen Stephens, and both of them are dead, but their sons, Stephen, Gilbert, Allen, Preston and Silas, are all living near each other, in the Bermuda section of Carmichael Township, and are amongst the foremost citizens of their section; all of them married' and are raising large families 'of children, and all of them progressive farmef'S and first class citizens. Charity, the third daughter, married Washington W. Norman, generally known as "Colonel Norman," by reason of his being the best fisherman on Little Pee Dee, and is one of the sturdy citizens of the section ; they live on a portion of the old Stephen Butler homestead ; they have three grown daughters living with them ; they had two sons, but both were drowned in Ivittle Pee Dee, while bathing near their home, several years ago - one of them nine and the other eleven years old. "Colonel Norman" is a good farmer, and a kind and hospitable citizen. Miss Flora A. Butler was another daughter, older than Charity, and owned and lived and died a few years ago, on the old homestead, where her father lived and died. Isham Butler, the brother of Stephen, had but one child, a daughter, Mary, who married Nathan McCormick, her cousin, and he was a gallant soldier of Fairlee's company, in the war ; both of them are living, and have six sons and three daughters, all of them grown. Nathan Butler, son of old Isham, was another of the first settlers ; he had four sons. Dempsy, the eldest, married his cousin, Laney ; Solomon married Polly Brasswell and had no childTen; Sam- uel married Milly Brasswell, and went to Georgia; James, the youngest, married the Widow Jane Davis - ^all of them are dead. Laney, the wife of Dempsy, according to the census return of her son, Alfred, in 1890, was 110 years old ; she, too, is now dead. As to the age of Laney, as above, the writer has something to say. Dempsy Buller, her husband, was killed by a man by the name of McCormipk, in 1859. I was a Magistrate at the time, and was sent for to hold an inquest; I went and held it ; it was right on the North Carolina State line, and as the line was shown to me by those present, the killing was about five feet in South Carolina; he was killed by a stab with a knife, in the abdomen. Dempsy Butler, from appearance (I had seen him often before he was killed), was a:bout forty-five years of age ; his wife, Laney, was also present, and would judge her to be younger, not older. According to this she could not have been, in 1890, more than seventy-five or seventy-six - ^there must be some mistake about her age, sure. Nathan also had five daughters. The eldest, Viney, married Benjamin Locke, and had a large family of children, one of whom is our good citizen, William Locke, who lives on a part of the old McDufifie homestead, on Little Pee Dee. Willie, a daughter, married John McConnick, who had several children, all of them_ dead but Charles, who lives at McCoU, S. C, and Nathan, who still lives in that section. Sallie married Philip Rouse, and Ada married William Abbott. Geriah, the youngest, never married. All of them are dead, but have left numerous descendants living here and in the West. The writer knew Benjamin Locke back in the thirties ; he was the greatest railsplitter he ever knew ; have often said and now think he split rails enough to make a fence half around the county ; he split - rails for that whole section, and it mattered not how far he was from home at work in his chosen avocation, he would go home every night - he would brave any weather to get home; he was a hard working, honest and harmless man.

Recurring again to the Haseldens. The writer has learned that the progenitor of Major James Haselden and his brothers, John and William, was William Haselden ; he lived and owned the place where Dr. D. F. Miles now owns and farms ; he had, in addition to the sons already herein mentioned, four daugh- ters. The eldest married a Mr. Cox, who had only one child, a daughter, Sarah ; her father and mother both died and left her ; she was raised 'by some of her people, grew up, and married Asa Godbold, about 1828. His family and hers have already been noticed hterein. Another daughter, Anne, I believe, was her name, married, first, a Mr. Brown, of Marlborough ; he died in a short time, childless, and the widow married Cyrus Bacot, of Dairlingtoh County; they lived together some years, and Baeot died, and left her with considerable property, and by her will (she had' no children), she gave some of it, said to be $2,000, to 'her nephew, Cyrus BacOt Haselden, who was named foir her husband - ^which has already been mentioned herein. The third daughter of old William Haselden married Stephen G. Godbold, who only raised one child, a daughter, who married Francis A. Miles; they had and raised three sons and two daughters, as already noticed herein. The fourth daughter of old William Haselden died or disappeared ; no account of her is obtainable. The Haseldens, as a family, seem to be s'hort-lived> as has already been stated.

Moody. - The Moody family will next be noticedt Robert Moody arid Barfield Moody, two brothers, were only known to the writer as one branch of the family. Another branch of the family is headed by the Rev. Tapley Moody, and there is still another branch whose bead in this county is not known to the writer ; James A. Moody, of Marion, belongs to this branch. These branches are all collaterally related to each other. All collateral relations have a common ancestor somewhere, either proximate or remote ; Robert Moody married Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Samuel Smith, Sr. ; 'he lived and died just below Temperance Hill, on the road to Marion ; she was a sister of Samuel, Jr., as he was called, back in the twenties, who lived and died on Buck Swamp ; to this marriage were born several sons and daughters; the sons were Hugh, Richard, Salathiel and Charles; can't give the names of all the daughters - ^as remembered, they were Milly, Celia, Smithy, Evaline and another one or two^ - ^have just learned that one was named Mary. Hugh Moody married Miss and raised

Thpmas, w'ho married his first cousin, Sarah Ann Moody, daughter of Richard Moody ; they had and raised a familytwo sons, Dayid and Robert, and several daughters, number and names not known. His son, David Moody, married a daughter of Peter Parley McCormic, and lives at Dillon. Robert married a daughter of Thomas Sawyer. Hugh Moody, the grand- father, has one daughter that married William Hamilton, as a second wife, and has several children ; Hugh was a farmer, and was a loc^l Methodist preacher ; also a Magistrate for a number of years, and was a useful man in his community ; his influence was for good, always in favor of right and justice; he died some twenty years ago or more. Richard Moody, the next younger brother, married Miss Harriet Edwards, daughter of Rev. David S. Edwards, and had and raised four sons and four daughters; the sons were Thomas D., Richard J., Hugh and Barfield; the daughters were Martha, Sarah Ann, Helen and Sophia. Of the sons, Thomas D. married a daughter of Needham Perrit ; had only one child, and she is grown and married. Richard J. Moody married a daughter of Reuben B. Jackson, and has a family, already mentioned in or among the Jackson family. Hugh Moody, Jr., married Miss Mass^y Smith, a daughter of the late William H. Smith, of Buck Swamp; they have a family, how large or small is unknown. Barfield Moody, Jr., married a daughter of Bennett Perritt, and has some family. Of the daughters of Richard Moody, St., Martha, the oldest, married William McKenzie, of the Maple Swamp region ; they have a family, how many is not known. Sarah Ann married John Thomas Moody, as above stated. The daughter, Sophia, married John H. Ellen, of the Dothan section, who is one of the most progresisive farmers in the county ; they have three children, a son in Wofford College; don't know the sex of the other two children. The daughter, Helen, is unmarried. The third son of Robert Moody, Salathiel, married in March,. 1843, the Widow Jane Bass, up on Catfish ; she was the widow of Bryant Bass, hereinbefore mentioned ; they had only two children, a son, who was idiotic and died before maturity, and a daughter, Josephine, who married Mack Martin, who has already been noticed in or among the Martin family. Charles, the fourth and youngest son of Robert Moody, married a Miss Monroe, of North Carolina, and settled and lived and died on^ a part of the homestead of his grand-father, Samuel Smith, Sr. ; they raised a family of three sons and one daughter ; the mother died many years ago. The daughter married Milton Watson, already spoken of in or among the Watson family ; he soon died, childless ; the widow went back to her father, and remained with him until his death, a few years ago, and still remains there with her brothers - all of whom are unmarried, and names not remembered. Of the daughters of Robert Moody, Mary, the oldest, married a Mr. Edwards, who died soon and left her with one child, a daughter, who grew up and became the first wife of Meredith Watson ; she soon died, and left two children, a son, who was imbecile and weak and soon died ; the daug'hter married and has some family, unknown to the writer. Robert Moody's daughter, Celia, married William Bryan, in Robeson County, N. C, where they resided till both died; as to their family, the writer only knows of a son, Quincy Bryant or Bryan, who came back to this county, and married his first cousin. Miss L,izzie A. Moody, a daughter of the late Joshua T. Moody. Quincy Bryant is one of our most worthy citizens, and resides six miles below Marion; they have a family of several children, sons and daughters - a son, named Marvin, who is now a promising young man; a daughter grown, and I think, married; know nothing of the other members of the family. Milley, another daughter, married Joseph D. Bass, who has already been noticed herein in or among the Bass family. Smithy, another daug'hter, married Evander Brigman, of Marlborough, who has raised a considerable family ; one of her sons, an energetic and prosperous man, now lives at Dillon ; I think Mrs. Brigman yet lives ; if so, she is the sole survivor of the children of Robert Moody. Another daughter, the youngest, Evaline, married Joshua T. Moody; in the latter part of his life he resided on his farm, near Ariel, nine miles below Marion ; they raised only two children, Lizzie and James A. Lizzie married her cousin, M. Q. Bryant, as above sitated. James A. is unmarried, though twice old enough ; is and has been for several years past merchandizing at Marion ; he condticts his business on a safe plan, buys and sells only for cash, is close and hoards his money ; if he makes but little, he holds on to that little with tenacity ; think he and Mrs. Bryant, his sister, still hold on to their father's lands, near Arial. Robert Moody died more than sixty years ago; he made a good property, and his widow and children held on to it to the old Ijady's death, just before the war ; their land on Buck Swamp was valuable; had about fifty negroes. The lands are now owned by Mrs. Lucy Godbold, wife of Willie A. Godbold, and Js much more valuable now than when in the hands of the old lady Moody. Barfield Moody, a brother of Robert, whether older or younger is not known, was a very prominent man in this county from 1830 to i860, when he died ; he was very popular before the people, though sometimes 'beaten ; he was elected twice as Representative of the county in the Legislature. After the death of General Wheeler, in 1859, he was elected Clerk of the Court ; but on account of his failing health, he could not perform the duties thereof in person, and he deputed his young son, Thoipas C, and placed him in as dteputy, who discharged the duties of the office until the death of his father, 7th April, i860. Barfield Moody was a Magistrate for many years, and he did not run that office as it is run in these latter days, for the money that was in it, but mostly as an arbiter among his neighbors as to their civil rights and a pacificator in their quarrels and fig'hts - ^niaking peace many times and hindet;ing prosecutions in the criminal courts - which is regarded as one of the first and best qualifications of a Magistrate ; he was also a good surveyor, and was called to its practice often. The writer, in his extensive land law practice in the county, has had occasion to see and scrutinize his work as a surveyor ; his plats were neat and mathematically correct, in most instances. He was a useful citizen in many ways, did a great deal of surveying for poor people without charge, and in suits before him as a Magistrate would often charge no costs, and especially in cases compromised or settled. Barfield Moody married Miss Sallie Crawford, a sister of James Crawford, who lived at Spring Branch, four miles above Marion - she was only a half-sister ; (tjhey had and raised five sons and four daughters; the sons were William H., Evander J., Robert B., Thomas C. and Albert C. ; William H. and Robert B. are dead. Of these sons, William

H. married a Miss Lamb, of Marlborough. Afterwards the L,amb family moved into Marion, having bought the late Crawford plantation, four miles above Marion, and they all lived and died there, except those who went West. The Lamb name is now extinct in the county. Barfield Moody settled on the north side of Catfish, opposite Watson's, and William H., after a while, settled on a part of the Lamb plantation, where his now resides. William H. and his wife had and raised several sons and daughters; the sons were Sandy, Clarence, Jiames C, Bartow, Rhett and Theodore; the daugliters were Lucy and Sue. Of the sons, Sandy went to Kershaw County, .and there married; know nothing further of him. Clarence died a few years ago, unmarried. Rhett emigrated to parts James C. is unmarried, though twice old enough; he was County Auditor for several years, and now has some State employment; he is a competent man for any business position. Bartow married, a few years ago, a Miss Cottingham ; they may have some family. Theodore died just as he was arriving at manhood. Miss Lucy married a Mr. Mclnr tyre, of North Carolina ; both are dead, and left two children, a son and a daughter, who stay with their grand-parents in North Carolina. Miss Sue married Joseph Bruoe, of Marlborough; suppose they have some family, how many is un- .known. William H. Moody died, maybe twenty years ago; he was a good citizen. Before the war he first held a Captain's commission in the Berry's Cross Roads militia company, and as hereinbefore stated, the contest for the Captaincy of said company, in 1840 or 1 84 1, was spirited and hot, but Moody was elected by thirteen votes. Afterward, when Major James R. Bethea was elected Colonel of the regiment, the Majorship of .the upper battalion became vacant, and William Moody was elected Major of the upper battalion, which position he held with credit to himself for several years; he never aspired to any other position. Evander J. Moody, the second son of Barfield Moody, grew up, and first married Miss Florence Smith, a daughter of Samud Smith, of Buck Swamp; she had one child, a daughter, named Florence, and died. Florence, the child, was raised by her Grand-mother Smith while she lived, and after the death of her grand-mother she went back to her

who in the meantime ihad married again, to the Widow Lester (twice a widow, her rnaiden name was Jane Tart) , and remained with him until 17th May, 187 1, when she married Dr. J. C. MuUins (a second wife) ; by this marriage three sons and one daughter were born - Randolph, Frank and Woods; the daughter is also named Florence, and is approaching womanhood. Frank MuUins died a young man, unmarried. Randolph has emigrated to Greenville, and is in the drug business. Woods and Florence, Jr., are with their mother, at Maripn. Dr. J. C. Mu'llins died about three years ago. By E. J. Moody's second marriage, he had and raised two sons, Thomas E. and Cornelius G. Thomas E. grew up and married a Miss Eittle, daughter of Rev. Lewis H. Little ; he gave promise of being an energetic and progressive man, but suddenly died soon after his marriage, childless ; his widow remained for a year or itwo with E. J. Moody's family, and then returned to her own people. Cornelius G. never married; he was a very steady, fevel4ieaded, straightforward young man, and gave promise of success and good citizenship ; but, alas ! he took sick and died some three or four years ago. The two daughters of E. J. Moody, by his last marriage, were Virginia and Maggie. Virginia married Douglas Mclntyre, of Marion, and has already been noticed herein in or among the Mclntyre family. Maggie married Dr. D. I. Watson, now of Southpprt, N. C, and has already been noticed in or among the Watson family ; they have several children. E. J. Moody has been and is yet a largehearted man, hospitable to a fault; has been a man of aflfairs, ferming and merchandizing all his life, and during his longlife (he is now seventy-five years of age) he has given away at his table and house enough to make a small fortune; his wife, Jane, was one of the noblest of women ; she died several years ago, after which her husband kept house with his son, Cornelius (called Neill), for a while, and then broke up, and E. J. Moody since that time has been staying with children (surviving) and other relatives; he has an income sufficient his support; he has done his part in developing the resources and bringing up the county to its present high position, and has nothing now to do but to ruminate on the past and ,to prepare for his approaching end. Robert B. Moody, the third son of Barfield, grew up and early volunteered for service in the Confederate army, rose to a Lieutenantcy therein, and continued to the end of the -yvar ; he went first in Captain Stanley's icompany, and on its reorganization left it and went into Captain Finklea's company as Lieutenant, which composed part of the Twenty-third Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers. After the war he married Miss Delilah Wyche, of Virginia, who came down into this county to teach school ; upon his marriage he repaired with his wife to her home in Virginia (Greenfield or Westfield), where he settled and lived for many years ; he had but one child, a daughter, who grew up, and after her mother's death married her first cousin. Dr. Robert A. Bass, of Latta, S. C, and who now resides at Latta, and has three or four children ; her father, after some time, married again, a widow lady, with one child, a daughter; they went to Richmond, Va., where, in 1891, they were keeping a large hotel - whether it belonged to his wife or whether it was rented, the writer knoweth not, but rather thinks it belonged to his wife. The writer spent one day and night with them very pleasantly, in the summer of 1891 ; when he went to leave, he asked for his bill, and "Bob," as we used to call him, said it was nothing ; he insisted upon paying it, but he and his wife absolutely refused it. They showed me much attention while ?n Richmond, got a ^carriage with two horses and took me with his wife over the city to various places of interest and among them the "White House of the Confederacy," where the lamented Winnie Davis, the daughter of the Confederacy, was born. We went into every room in the house, and Mrs. Moody pointed out the room in which Winnie was born - a sacred 'Spot to every Southerner. The house was then unoccupied; the key to it was obtained from its keeper^ a colored man. It is in a very eligible spot, not far from the Capitol. I suppose it has been much adorned and beautified since that time. Some four or five years after that time, "Bob" came out here to see his friends and relatives, and was sick and died at Latta, with a cancer oYi his lip, and he was buried here in the land of his birth. Peace be to his ashes. He had no child by the last wife. Thomas C; Moody, the fourth son of Barfield Moody, was in the Clerk's office as his father's deputy, at his father's death, in April, i860 - when, as a matter of course, he had to retire. Asa Godbold, the then Ordinary, became Clerk until a successor to the dead Clerk was elected and' qualified ; this was then existing law. An election for Clerk was ordered by the proper authorities to be held in June following. At this election the young deputy was a candidate for the office against five others, every one of whom was much more competent than "Tom," as he was called, and is so called yet; he was then twenty-three years of age, with but little education, no experience in such matters, a verdant, green, country youth - could not write legibly - ^yet led the ticket at the election by seventy , votes. One of his supporters in that election was the writer. It was thought by many that, on account of his youth and inexperience, he would not be able to properly perform the duties of the office. This is said, not in disparagement of Mr. Moody, but it is said to bis credit, as the sequel will show. He qualified and took charge of the office and held it till the next regular election, when' he was again elected, and held the second term until he was ousted by reconstruction. As time rolled along, be improved, and became a very efficient Clerk and performed its duties satisfactorily. As an evidence of his ihefficiency on account of his lack of experience, I will relate an incident of what occurred in Court shortly after Mr. Moody went into office - I think, the October term, i860. The Clerk, as required by law, made up the dockets for the Court. Judge W'hitner presided ; and in calling the cases on the dt)cket the Judge mistook the letter '^C" for "G," which made quite a difference in the name or word. Some member of the bar spoke to the Judge and corrected the call. The Judge looked' at it more critically and said, "I would never call that a 'C " He then spoke to fhe Clerk, and said to him, "Come up here, you are a young Clerk, and let me show you how to make a 'C " The Clerk, of course, went up to the Judge and the Judge took up his pen, and made a "C" for the Clerk's guidance. This is also related to the credit of Mr. Moody. "Tom" was again a candidate for Olerk, in 1872, and was elected, but the then powers that be counted every Democratic candidate (and all were elected) out. "Tom" kept improving as time advanced, and after the redemption of the State in 1876, he was elected to the lower House of the State Legislature (don't remember what year) ; he served a term in that house, and in 1884 was nominated and elected Senator from the county in the Ivegislature ; he served four years, was again nominated and again elected to the Senate, in 1888, and served a second term, till 11892. The upheaval in the State that year relegated every man to the rear that did not ohime in with the views of B. R. Tillman. During Mr. Moody'si first term in the Senate, or just before, he married Miss Eliza Ellerbe, a daughter of Captain W. S. Ellerbe, and sister to the late Governor Ellerbe ; they had no children, and she died in 1896 or 1897 ; he did not marry till late in life, and he has not remarried ; and lives a life of retirement and "splendid leisure," he having acquired a loompetency to live on ; he is now sixty-four years of age. T. C. Moody is a kind-hearted man and very considerate of the poor, and after he went out of the Clerk's office kept many a poor fellow from going to jail by going on his bond for his appearance at Court; his sympathies were not hard to arouse in favor of the distressed. Could say much more favorable to Mr. Moody, but space will not permit. Albert C. Moody, the fiftli and youngest son of old Barfield Moody, grew up just in time for the war ; he volunteered, went into the service early in the war and remained to tflie last ; when he came home from the army he went to Lumberton, N. C, and there married a daughter of Sheriff King, and remained there until King's dieath. King was murdered, as it was said, by the Lowry gang - na gang which terrorized Robeson County for several years after the war, robbing and killing many of the citizens.. The State troops were called out to suppress them, but they were of little avail. Sheriff King was a wealthy man and reputed to have plenty of money - which, no doubt, was the inducement to his murder. Albert, with his wife, came from there to this county, and settled about six miles above Marion, on the road leading to Buck Swamp Bridge; has raised a considerable family of sons and daughters, some of them grown. - a daughter, who married a Mr. Hunter ; he lost a grown son by death a few years ago. Albert is a farmer, and though not very progressive, yet manages to support his family. Barfield Moody had four daughters, Sarah Ann, Lucy, Julia and Lizzie.

Tlie eldest, Sarah Ann, a very aooomplished lady, married John Crawford, of Alabama, a relative of hers through her mother ; soon after the marriage they went to Alabama ; she had one fchild, a son, named Albert-, familiarly called here "Dock ;" she died, and Albert, or "Dock," was raised by his people in Alabama and by those here - especially the latter part of his raising ; he was intelligent and promising ; he merdhandised a while at Marion, but did not succeed well ; he was appointed County Auditor. It was soon discovered that he was incompetent, his habits not good, and finally he was removed or resigned his office, and was sent to the Asylum for treatment ; after staying in the Asylum for some months, he was discharged and sent home ; he was unmarried ; he left for Georgia or Alabama and died in Georgia - doubtless a victim of the drink habit. A lesson for all young men Who are cognizant of his case. The third daughter of old Barfield Moody, Lucy, married Captain James W. Bass ; a good woman she was, but she has already been noticed in or among the Bass family. Julia, the fourth daugihter, married William P. Deer, just at the beginning of the war ; he volunteered and went through the war ; the fruits of the marriage were two daughters, Blanche and Lula. Blanche married Henry Berry, and lives upon the Deer homestead ; they have two or three children, all small. Lula married her first cousin, C. G. Bass ; they have only one child,- and have already been noticed in or among the Bass family. Wm. P. Deer left or disappeared some fifteen or twenty years ago, and 'he has not been heard of since, as the writer has been informed lately by his sister, Mrs. William Watson. Mrs. Lucy Bass and Mrs. Deer are both dead. The second daughter of Barfield Moody (omitted in the order of births), Lizzie, married Major W. D. Lamb, then a citizen of the county ; they had and raised seven sons, names not remembered; their mother died some years ago ; the boys grew up and one by one they emigrated to Florida ; and finally the father went and soon after died in Florida. The sons are all there. Major Lamb was a character, but space will not permit a further' notice of him.

county. Old "Tap," as he was called, was an excellent man, 0. Christian gentleman, a local Methodist preacher, and a man of no ordinary ability - if he had been educated, he, doubtless, would have been a power. The writer has (heard him preach many times - he was a strong preacher. In some parts of a sermon he became truly eloquent; the confidence the people had in his piety gave effect to his sermon. He was greatly beloved by all, whether in the church or out of it - was universally popular; married more couples than any other man of his day or since his time - was sent for far and near to marry people. He was a poor man, and had and raised a large family of sons and daughters - ^he raised them right and respectably ; don't know that I can name all of his sons ; they were, as now remembered, John H., Stephen, Daniel, Tapley, Wesley and James R. Ervin ; may have 'been another one or two, and some daughters - three or four; don't know who his wife was, but think she was a Miss Herring. All the sons were good men and made good citizens; think they are all dead. John H., the oldest, married Miss Elizabeth Mace, already mentioned in or among the Mace family. Stephen' married Miss Obeda Butler, a daughter of Elias Butler, in the Gaddy neighborihood ; they had and raised' a family, don't know how many - know but one, Enos M'oody, a capital citizen of Carmiohael Township, near Dillion ; he has a family, not known of ; his mother, Obeda, still lives. The name, in that family of Butlers, I ^hink, is extinct. Daniel Moody married the Widow Mary Edwards, a daughter of the "Widow Betsy Moody," on Buck Swamp; think they are both dead. Tapley married some one not known ; so did Wesley. James R. Ervin married, first, a widow, whose maiden' name was Mary Crawford, a niece of Cross Roads Henry Berry's wife ; she died ; think she left two children; he married again, a Miss Finklea, daughter of the late Willis Finklea, and had some family, how many not known ; he is dead. Of the daughters of old Tapley Moody, one married the late Jessee Hays, of Reaves Township; she had one ohild, a daughter, who married some one unkhown. Jessee Hays was a good citizen ; he and his wife are both dead ; don't know anything of the other daughters of old Tapley Moody, who was a Mason, and died in 1843 ; was at his funeral

Another branch of ithe Moody family was represented by three brothers, Josiah, John W. and Joshua T. Moody. They were related to all the foregoing Moodys, but what it is, is not known. Josiah Moody went to school at Pine Hill, in 1842 and 1844 - ^the writer went to school there at the same time; he was a genial young man and full of the spice of life ; he was then grown; he afterwards married the Widow Polly Piatt, widtow of old Daniel Piatt, who lived just below Latta; she had six or seven children. In 1854, he and Hugh Haselden built a large hotel at Marion, as Moody & Haselden ; the hotel was near the depot, and is remembered by many now living. It was intended for a railroad house - was built just as the railroad was finished, but did not run long; they sold it to Philip P. Bethea. Of course, a barroom was appended to it. Bethea and Gilbert W. McKay ran it till about the beginning of the war, when they sold it to Woodward Manning. It is not necessary to trace its history any further. John W. ,Moody emigraied with his family, or as many of them as would go, to Texas ; know nothing further of him. John W. Moody, when quite young, went to clerking for Wyatt Fuller, at Allen's Bridge ; and suoh was his aptitude for business that Fuller kept him until his (Fuller's) death, which, I think, occurred in the last of the forties or early fifties, and for the last two or three years of Fuller's life, he being unable to attend to it, the whole business was run by John W. Moody, and apparently with success. Moody was well up to such business and was trustworthy. In the meantime, he married Miss Shooter, the only daughter of Benjamin Shooter. After Fuller's death and his affairs wound up, Moody's wife having died in the meantime, he, I think, went to Texas also - ^^he disappeared, and have heard that he was dead ; don't know if he had any children. Joshua T. Moody, the youngest brother, was well known in this county ; he was also a genial gentleman, ])arge-Jhearted and liberal to a fault ; he would make any personal sacrifice to accommodate a friend ; honest and honorable in all his dealings, full of life and buoyancy,^ and of gushing hospitality ; he merchandized a while, run a barroom a while.

and filially bought a part of the John J. Collins land, near Ariel, and for several of the last years of his life he farmed on it, and succeeded .very well ; he married Miss Evaline Moody; a rela- <tjve, as herein already stated; they had two children, Lizzie and James A. Lizzie married McQuincy Bryant, as already -stated, and has a family. James A. Moody has not married ; he is a worthy son of a noble father and mother, both of whom are dead - the father died first ; the place, as I suppose, belongs ip James A. and his sister, Mrs. Bryant. There was another Moody, named Jessee, who belonged, as said, to this branch of the Moody family ; he was an excitable and over-religious man, an exhorter in the Methodist Church ; his hair curled as much as I ever saw ; the old man would shout when he felt like it, and I heard one of the clerical brethren once say of him, that when old Jessee got happy in church, that his hair was so kinky tJhat it would lift him off the floor ; suppose he's dead.

HarlleS. - The name, Harllee, is a change in the orthography, retaining nearly the same pronunciation as the original name, Harley, which the ancestor of the Harllees bore. These descended from a younger branch of the house, which was represented by Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, during the reign of Queen Anne. The younger brother, Peter Harley, the ancestor of the present Harllees, espoused the cause of the exiled house of Stewart, and was among those active in attempting to restore the "Pretender" to the throne of England. A price was put on his head as a penalty of this prominence in the Jacobin cause, and he was compelled to remain concealed uritil his kinsmen obtained for him a pardon from the government; but, probably at the suggestion of the Earl of Oxford hiniself, who was anxious to sever all connection with one of the unpopular party, the condition of the pardoti was that Peter Harley should change his name. He agreed to alter the spelling of the name, but to retain the sound as nearly as possible - so thenceforth he became Peter Harllee. Througth the patronage of his then powerful kinsman he obtained an appointment in the navy for his only son, Peter, who was subsequently f)romoted to the Captaincy of a British man-of-war. Peter remained in this position until his sixtieth year, when, owing to his failing healfh and on account of a wound, he resigned his commission, retired on his pension and settled in Virginia, then a British colony about the year 1758. He had remained a bachelor until this time, but the following year, when sixtyone years old, ihe married Ann Leake, of Goochland County, Va., a maiden lady, forty-five years old ; the result of this marriage was four children - Ellen, Jane, John and Tihomas. Ellen married William A(te.ms, for whom Adamsville, in Marlborough County, is named ; Jane married Thomas Cottingham ; John died in youth ; Thomas, the youngest, was just sixteen years old at the surrender of Cornwallis, at Yorktown, 1 78 1. His father having a contract with the commissary of Washington's army to supply 'beeves, sent his sons, with some negro slaves, in charge of a herd of cattle to Yorktown ; they reached there on the eve of Cornwallis' surrender. The boy witnessed, and in after years often related the circumstances to his children. The son was too young to serve in the army, and the father too old, being then over eighty years of age. Peter Harllee died soon after the close of the war, leaving his iamily impoverished, not only through the loss of his British pension, but because that portion of Virginia had suffered devastation at the hands of both armies. Thomas moved' with his mother and sisters to South Carolina. He often related to his children, that, being very poor, he engaged in manual labor beyond his strength to obtain money to forward a claim to the British government for the renewal and the arrears of pension due to his father. This claim, made through our Minister to Great Britain, was refused, the authorities asserting that Captain Peter Harllee had been a rebel, and had aided the colonies in their revolt, and had thus forfeited all claims upon Great Britain. Finding himself without other resources than those of youth, health and energy, he literally became the architect of his own fortunes. He had settled on Little Pee Dee River, where R. P. Hamer, Sr., now lives. Agriculture being in its infancy in that section, offered little hopes of livelihood; but having considerable mechanical skill, he engaged in boat and flat making and found it very profitable. By this means he laid the foundation of the large property which he '^ possessed at his dealth. He sold his flats to the rice planters, and loadted his pole-'boats with merchandise for his store on Little Pee Dee. This was the only store between Marion Court House and Cheraw. He engag^ largely in farming and stock-raising, and entered all the lands for several miles around him on both sides of the river. With an education so limited that when he came to Soulth Carolina, he could only read and write, his ambition stimulated him to educate himself. Being too poor to buy candles, often, after a hard day's work, he situdied for hours by a fire of blazing lightwood; thus he acquired the rudiments of knowledge and mad^e sufficient progress in mathematics to begin surveying, and did much of this work ; was employed by the State to survey several districts in the eastern pant of the State for a large map of the State. This map is sitill extant and very accurate. He was aided in this work by his eldest son, John, who became one of best surveyors in the State. He continued to enter and buy land as he accumulalted the funds to do so, paid for it in coin weighed by avoirdupois, as was then customary. He prospered in everything in which he engaged. He often told his children that he attributed the blessings of Providtence upon his undertakings to his life-long respect, affection and devotion for his aged mother, who continued to live with him until her death in 1810, at the advanced age of ninety-six years ; she had retained Itbe most extraordinary vigor of mind and body.- When Marion was first organized as a district, Thomas Harllee represented it in the IvCgislature ; he was for many years Clerk of tihe Court for Marion District, having in his office a poor iboy from Lumberton, N. C, as assistant, E. B. Wheeler, who succeeded his benefactor as Clerk) and held the office continuously until his death in 1859. Thomas Harllee, when young, married a girl of Scotch parentage, named Elizabeth Stuart; her fa'ther, David Stuart, emigrated from Scotland and seittled in Richmond County, N. C. He, with his two sons, David and Hardy, foughlt through the Revolutionary War under General Marion. David Stuant, Sr., died about tihe close of the war, but his two sons survived him ; neither of tjhose sons left descendants. David Stuart, Jr., was taken prisoner by the British, and was one of the few who survived -tihe terrible incarcerations in the British prison ships in

Charlesiton harbor. In this connection it may be mentioned tihalt in the lower part of Barnwell, Hampton and Orangeburg Counties, there is a large family of Harleys, between whom and the Harllees of the Pee Dee section is a very striking nesemblance - so marked is this resemblance, that at one time before the war, when Dr. Robert Harllee represented Marion County in the State Senate, and Dr. Robert Harley represented Barnwell in the same body, the presiding officer of the Senate frequently mistook the one for the other. There were bom to Thomas Harllee and wife ten children - John Anne, Elizabeth, David S., Peter, Robert, Thomas, Harriet, William W. and Lucretia ; the last died in childhood ; the others all attained to manhood and womanhood - some of them living to advanced ages, rearing large families of children; but all of them are now dead - General W. W. Harllee, the youngest, being the last one to die - hie died in 1897, at the age of eighty-five years. The oldest son. Major John Harllee, was a well known man throughout the Pee Dee section ; he was a man of fine mind and splendid intellect. In his youth he was appointed a Lieutenant in the United States army; he saw much service with the Indians and with General Jackson against the British at New Orleans. While stationed on the frontier, which was then Louisiana, he became involved in a j)ersonal difficulty with a fellow-Lieutenant, and the lartter challenged him to mortal com'bat - duelling in those days, especially among army officers, A^as very common. Lieutenant David E. Twiggs, afterwards a Major General of the United States army, and Who distinguished himself in the war with Mexico, was the second of Lieutenant Harllee in the affair. They fought with rifles at forty paces ; Lieutenant Harllee threw away his shot at a sapling in the opposite direction from his challenger. After the latter had fired, he taunted Lieutenant Harllee with being afraid to shoot at him, and demanded another shot, which was accorded him, and ait the word fire, the rifles cracked and the challenger fell dead - shot through the hips. Soon after this affair of honor, which he ever after deplored. Lieutenant Harllee resigned from the army and returned to his home, where he engaged in surveying and teaching school, until he became an old man. He was an expert and very correct surveyor, but did not work at that employment constantly. He was an excellent and pains-taking teacher, but did that work also spasmodically. During his long vacaiions his visits to his brothers' and sisters' families, where he spent these intervals, were welcome events to the children of the families, especially his quaint and original expressions and narrations of his varied career, all of which were enjoyed by everybody, and can never be forgotten by those who knew him. In early life he was a keen sportsman, but as age grew upon him he could only indulge in fishing, which seemed to be a ruling passion ; this and reading were his only occupations in his last years. His literary talents led him to read everything ; he could quote pages and pages from his favorite poets, and had rare poetic gifts himself - he, indeed, had in himself the elements of a grand and original character. He was never married, and spent his last years in comfort at the home of his niece, Mrs. Elizabeth McRae, at Argyle, N. C., where he died at the age of eightynine years.
