He went into the Confederate army with Pink McKNIGHT, one of his young masters, and accompanied him as a cook throughout the war. He went to North Christian with T.T. McKNIGHT after the war and for many years has enjoyed the distinction of being the only negro voter in that precinct, which by his death is left without a single one. It is needless to say that this is the only precinct in the county so situated.--Hopkinsville Kentuckian. (Source: Madisonville Hustler, Fri., Apr. 24, 1896)
