Joseph J., born in Lowndes County, Ga., March 6, 1833, and was married to Miss Mary Strickland, April 12, 1865. To this union were born ten children, eight sons and two daughters, all surviving. He served as a soldier in the war between the states from 1861 to '65, on the side of the Confederacy though he bitterly opposed the ordinance of secession and felt there was no just cause for such a cruel war. He served his county in the capacity of tax receiver, sheriff and deputy sheriff for many years. Was a kind and accommodating neighbor, ever ready to visit the sick and distressed and do all in his power to soothe their troubles. Was received and baptized into the fellowship of Pleasant Grove Church in June, 1903, and often expressed regret for remaining out of the church so long after having a good hope through grace. He sweetly fell asleep in Jesus December 16, 1908.
