Gaddy.—Another family in Hillsboro, is the Gaddy family. Old man Ithamer Gaddy was the first known ; his wife, Charity, was a Miss Pitman, sister of old man Hardy Pitman, who seventy-five years ago lived near by, and was a prominent citizen ; the name Pitman is not found in the county. Old man Ithamer Gaddy was a most excellent man, quiet and inoffensive, a Christian gentleman ; he raised a large family, five sons and two daughters; the sons were William, James, Hardy, Allen and Silas; the daughters were Elizabeth and Mary (Polly, as she was called). William Gaddy married Miss Sallie Jones, on Catfish, daughter of old man John Jones ; raised a large family of sons and daughters, to wit: John I., Levi, Israel, Joseph, Samuel T. and Charles B. ; the daughters were Elizabeth, Ann, Mary and Sarah. John I. Gaddy married Miss Mary Ford; he and his wife both died in a few years, perhaps childless. Levi Gaddy was a very steady, level-headed young man, and bid fair to succeed well in life; he went into the war, and was killed or died of disease or wounds, never came back. Israel Gaddy married in North Carolina and settled there ; know nothing of his family, if he had any ; Joseph died unmarried; Samuel T. Gaddy, one of our good citizens, married a daughter of the late Harman Floyd, of Nichols, S. C, the fruits of the marriage are one son. Walker, and two daughters—one the wife of W. B. Atkinson, the other the wife of Franklin Rogers ; the son, Walker, married a lady in North Carolina. Charles B. Gaddy, the youngest son of William Gaddy, married one of Colonel John Roberts' daughters ; three sons and one daughter are the results of the marriage. Charles B. Gaddy died suddenly, a few weeks ago, on the old homestead of his father. Of the daughters of William Gaddy, Elizabeth Ann, the eldest, married Elias Grantham, who was killed near Campbell's Bridge, in the discharge of his duty during the war, it was said, by Nicholas Gaddy, a first cousin of his wife. They raised a family of several children, sons and daughters, who are now living on, and near, the place of their birth; the mother died a year or two ago. William Gaddy's second daughter, Mary, married a Mr. Inman, of North Carolina; I know nothing further of her. Sarah, the youngest daughter, married D. C. McKinly, who is dead ; she has two sons, William and John McKinly, living, and one daughter married, another dead. William Gaddy and wife died in a few days of each other, of typhoid fever, in August, 1850 ; William Gaddy was an industrious, energetic and trustworthy citizen. James Gaddy married Elizabeth Jones, another daughter of old man John Jones; he settled just across the State line, in Robeson County; raised a large family; I know nothing further of them. Hardy Gaddy married Miss Winnie Humphrey, of Robeson, a very smart, business woman they are both dead; they raised a family, four sons and three daughters; the sons were Nicholas W., J. Maston, Richard M. and Duncan ; the daughters were Anna Jane, Charity and Lizzie. Richard M. went to Virginia some years ago, and is now a citizen of that State; Nicholas M. removed several years ago to North Carolina, and is now a resident citizen of that State; J. Maston died a few years ago, at Marion Court House, and left one son, William, and two daughters—one the wife of Joseph A. Baker, the other the wife of Thomas. Monroe, of Marion ; I do not know what has become of the son, William. J. Maston Gaddy married twice; first, a Miss Fladger, the mother of his children; the second wife was a Widow Gregg, daughter of General Elly Godbold ; she is also dead. Duncan Gaddy, youngest son of Hardy Gaddy, married a Miss Miller, and lives near Gaddy's Mills ; I know nothing of his family. Of the daughters of Hardy Gaddy, Anna Jane married a Mr. Inman, of Robeson; Lizzie married A. B. Carmichael, son of old Sheriff Carmichael, and lives on the homestead of her grand-father, Ithamer Gaddy, and has a family ; I know nothing of the family. Charity married our good fellow-citizen, R. L. Lane, who resides near Dillon, S. C. ; he has several sons and one daughter. Hardy Gaddy was an excellent and very safe man, prudent and successful in his vocation. Allen Gaddy married a Miss Stackhouse, an aunt of Colonel E. T. Stackhouse, and raised a considerable family; he and wife have both been dead for years ; I know not much of the family; had a son, Herod Gaddy; I do not know what has become of him—think he is in Marlborough ; another son, John W., who is a good citizen and lives now at Bingham ; another son, named Tristran, I don't know what has become of him. The widow of the late David Ellen was a daughter of Allen Gaddy; she married twice; first, a Manship, of Marlborough, and after his death she married the late David Ellen, an old man when she married him ; he died in 1876 ; she lives with her son, John H. Ellen, a very energetic and prosperous farmer, in the Dothan neighborhood; she had two daughters by the Manship marriage—one is the wife of Peter P. McCormac, the other the wife of Woodberry Norton. Silas Gaddy, the youngest son of old Ithamer Gaddy, married a Miss Caldwell, in North Carolina, and first settled near his father; after the birth of several children, he emigrated Westward. Of the daughters of Ithamer Gaddy, the oldest married Joseph B. Hays, as hereinbefore stated; the second daughter, Mary (or Polly), married Lysias Stackhouse, son of Herod Stackhouse; they raised one son, John W. Stackhouse, and some daughters, perhaps only two. The son, J. W. Stackhouse, has been dead about thirty years ; left a family, all grown ; one of the daughters married Thomas Ammons, a descendant of Joshua Ammons, of Revolutionary fame ; I do not remember who the other daughter married ; the third and last daughter married Owen Grantham, of Robeson County, N. C. ; some of her descendants are now living in Marion ; the wife of W. C. Foxworth is a grand-daughter of Owen Grantham and wife, Elizabeth Grantham, nee Gaddy. The writer has seen six or seven generations of that Grantham family. ;
