The Doctor Head mentioned below is that Joshua J. Head. My mother's home town was named after him - Head's Land, Henry County, Alabama. He sold the title deed in 1870 first to a Mr. Powell, then my greatgreatgrandfather Dr. Wyatt S. Oates. He eventually went to Florida. Jacob L. Bateman III or Le Montgomery, Alabama Re: Dr. Head's fine horse, Benjamin Franklin, is no more. It was a fine $200 animal, but the fact that it was valuable could not save it, and so, surrounded by kind friends he slipped off "to the land where good horses go."
