Another daughter of old man Reddin, his youngest, named Zilpha, married C. P. Floyd, of Nichols ; he was killed on the railroad between Mullins and Nichols, some twenty-five or thirty years ago; he left several children, sons and daughters. Mrs. Floyd now lives on the homestead of her father, an excellent lady and capital manager; has raised her children in credit and respectability three sons and three or four daughters. The sons were Charles P., Henry Bascom (called Battie), and Giles R. Floyd. Charles P. was killed some twenty or more years ago by a man by the name of Anderson, near Campbell's Bridge. The writer was employed to prosecute Anderson, who was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to two years in the State penitentiary. Henry Bascom married a Miss Stackhouse, daughter of the late Wm. R. Stackhouse, and is one of our good citizens. I believe Giles R. is married; don't know to whom; he is afflicted with asthma. The writer can truly sympathise with him, as he has had that most distressing of diseases, off and on, for twenty-five years. Of her daughters, the two oldest, Cornelia and Minnie, married North Carolina men, where they reside, and, therefore, cannot tell anything about their families. Think Minnie is dead. Roberta married Lewis S. Bethea, above Latta, and is doing well. There is one, perhaps, two daughters yet unmarried, and yet with their mother. ;
