William came next. He was a farmer and a very enthusiastic one. By close attention and good executive qualities he amassed a comfortable fortune. He lived at the Cottage and took care of Sister Adams and me until his marriage. He was fond of hunting and many a fine deer have I seen brought home by him. At Father's death, William took charge of all the plantations and paid off the portions to the other heirs. He was very benevolent to the poor and each winter appropriated a certain amount for their use which he delivered to the Mayor. When the famine occurred in Ireland, he sent five hundred bushels of corn to the sufferers. When the yellow fever visited Augusta in '9' he sent every vehicle and horse on his plantation and moved the poor to the campground seven miles in the country.
His negroes were cared for well and like Father he built them a church on his place. He married one of the belles of Georgia, Miss Philoclea Casey, who was cultivated and handsome. They raised three children. Brother William died at his residence on lower Broad Street in Augusta during the war. His children were 1. Eva who married Col. C. C. Jones and left one son, Edgeworth Eve Jones. 2. Berrien who died leaving a family of four girls; one daughter was born after his death, and 3. Capt. Edge Eve who is the last living male member of his branch of the family. He has no children though he has been married twice.
Berrien Eve married Orrilla Moye. Their children: Gertrude Elihu, William Joseph, Theodora Horatio Eaton, Philoclea Edgeworth Casey and Irma Berrien.
