This gentleman was born in Randolph

hailed from Bonnie Scotland" With
that determination and grit usually pos
sessed by that race our subject began
his Journey through life by obtaining
an education. He entered Trinity Col

men and boys of the South, and true

to farming in Chatham county, and re-
manned there until 1873, when he made

here remarked that he has an extension

in excellent shape. This was done in six
weeks with forty men. In 1868 he mar
