Barbra Hathcock’s Note:  “Care has been taken to copy each page exactly as original, some things will be capitalized one time and then the next it will not, this is the way the original reads.”<\/p>\n

Important caveat:  The original volume uses an antiquated term, “col’d” in the text to indicate persons of color.  The TNGenWeb Project does not support use of such terms on its domain.  However, for contextual accuracy, the term has been maintained in this data.<\/p>\n
