My ancestors lived In Charlotte county, Virginia. This section was so overrun and eat out by the armies of the old Seven Years War. that my people decided to move to a quieter place, so they came down on the Ogechec river near the old capitol of Georgia, Louisville. They got into a hornet's nest again, were called out for six months' military duty under Capt. Game Harvey and Col. Twiggs, and while absent from their home, the Tories and Indians made a raid on them; stole their cattle and provisions and two negro men, Matt and Low. Matt joined a tory command and was hung by them for some impudence to the captain's wife. Our folks stayed one year over there and moved to Lau rens County, S. C, on Little river, near Odell mill. After the close of the war, Charles Sullivan went to Charles ton after farm supplies. While in the city he ran on his old slave Low. dress ed out in a British red coat. He told Low he was going to carry him back with him. He consented to return if his wife was allowed to come with him He claims to have married a free wom an In Charleston. When the family moved up into Greenville county In 1784 a Baptist preacher, William Webb, came out to visit his old neighbors who had emigrated south. On a visit to Ch.irles Sullivan, Low's wife was waiting on the table at dinner, and heard the preacher tell about their old Virginia friends that they had left up there. Low's wife told him she knew all those people and had heard him preach in Virginia. On his return he mentioned about Low's wile living with a certain family. The gentleman got interested in the conversation and had him to give a minute description I of the negro woman. He came out all the way from old Virginia to take a look at her, and she proved to be his slave that had run away during the revolutionary war. Her owner carried her back to Virginia. So Low lost his wife. Low fell into the possession of Hewlett Sullivan, who bought him an other wife and made this agreement with him: when you and Sylvia have twelve children 1 will set you free. They raised fourteen children. Low beat his master Hewlett two in num ber, who raised twelve children. Low moved Into a cabin to work for him-] self. When his wife died he was moved hack, so he could be looked af ter In his old age. Low was the an cestor of Charles P. Sullivan's body servant, Spencer, who was well known in Laurens. and of Capt. O. W. Sulli van's, foreman, Long Tom Sullivan. W. i). s. MONEY HACK. Here's Seme Talk on Square eDals Lines.
