... He was twice married ; first, to Miss Flowers, by whom he had three sons, Huger, David and Zachariah, and two daughters. Huger married a daughter of Stephen White, by whom he had several children, sons and daughters, when his wife died and left him with her children; the sons, or rather two of them, went West ; one, Waties, is here yet, and married, and lives over Catfish, in Wahee Township; one of the daughters married a Mr. Game, and another married Truman Foxworth ; a third one is yet single. The father, Huger, though a widower for thirty years, has not married again; he is about seventy-five years of age, has been in Washington for eight or ten years ; is in the public printing office. Though seventy-five years old, he looks about as young as he did thirty years ago ; sprightly as a boy, has no gray hairs.
...
His son, Zack, married and had four children ; his wife died ; he went off, left his children, all small, married again—don't know what has become of him. His son, D. E. Godbold, the eldest grew up, took care of his sisters; one of the sisters married some one ; another sister died, a young woman ; the youngest sister is yet single ; D. E. Godbold is now at Mullins, merchandising, in partnership with W. McG. Buck, and seems to be doing fairly well. D. E. Godbold married a Miss Young, daughter of the late Johnson B. Young ; he is Mayor of the town of Mullins, is steady, a first rate business man and is bound to succeed. He is very much like his grand-father. General Godbold ; he deserves much credit for his success, so far, and especially for the care he has taken of his orphan sisters.
