This pioneer couple took with them two horses, one rifle, one frying pan, one axe, one turpentine can, a few seeds and one baby. The woman rode one horse, led by the pack horse, and held the baby in her lap. The man walked ahead carring the gun.
First they built a cabin. First they had only one room, then a back room, later a kitchen was built off from the rest of the house. That was a sign of pioneer prosperity. They had 6 children and 6 acres of land cleared before they could afford to travel to Columbia to buy tin cups and plates for the children; until that time their cups had been made of home-grown "cymlin" gourds scoured to shiny whiteness. At the time the old couple died they had 13 children, 3 slaves, and 600 acres of land.
