ried, Aug. 21, 1861, his cousin, Elizabeth White. His parents<br />

were wealthy, and his early life passed in ease and luxury.<br />

He attended the public school, but the educational facilitiesin<br />

the south were very limited, and received so little approbation<br />

that his education was quite limited. The war freed<br />

the slaves belonging to the family, so that when it closed<br />

he was compelled to work on the farm ; but work did not<br />

go as hard with him as with many,<br />

and he became a suc-<br />

cessful and prominent farmer. He still lives on the Allison<br />

homestead. He is prominent in county politics ; an elder in<br />

the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church ;<br />

a man of good<br />

judgment and spotless character ; residence, Troutman's^<br />
