I didn't know my g-grandparents, but have been told an amusing tale by an uncle. John prided himself in raising some of the finest watermelons in the area. A couple of my uncles were always trying to figure out how to sneak into the patch and take some to sell. One moon lite night, when they thought they weren't being observed, they began helping themselves to the largest melons they could find. In their haste, they didn't hear John as he approached and soon made his presence known with his shotgun. Knowing they were his grandsons, his intent was not to shoot, but to scare them away. Which he did! They dropped the watermelons they were carrying, raced to their wagon, took off, and that was the last time they ever set foot in his watermelon patch.
