\nCarolinians, born in 1800. They were brought to Middle Tennessee in
\nchildhood and there married. Of eleven children born to them — five sons and

\nthen turned his attention to farming, and in 1861 enlisted in the Confederate
\nArmy in Company J, Ninth Tennessee Infantry, serving nearly four years, and

\nMary M. Graves who was born June 7, 1846. They have one child, William E.
