Misc. Notes
Wade Hampton, Jr. was a Colonel and one of the wealthiest men in the South. However, he did not live
at Goodale. He let his father live there. Wade Hampton, Sr. was a Colonel in the American Revolution,
a General in the War of 1812 and was the man who first brought the news to Washington, DC, that the United States had won the Battle of New Orleans in 1814. Numerous articles of correspondence from the elder Hampton bear the inscription "Goodale." The plantation went out of the hands of Hampton before 1840. Afterward, it was variously owned by numerous prominent planters and citizens of Augusta.
"The Colonel was very fond of the turf and took me to the races with him on one occasion. My dress was a purple silk skirt, a scarlet velvet jacket, scarlet turban with white ostrich feathers, and slippers of scarlet velvet." Emma Eve Smith ®1893

" Cousin Anna was very pious, and very retiring. I recollect with great distinctness her wedding. I was one of her attendants and Eliza Ryan another. I waited with Benj. Taylor and Eliza with Jack Brown.
Cousin's dress was of white tabinet and lace of the finest quality and she wore ornaments of pearl. The bridesmaids were dressed in white silk, etc. The supper was elegantly prepared by a colored man (and his wife) named Jehu Jones. Uncle gave Jehu five hundred dollars for the supper. Everything was furnished for this. The china, glass and all and served by six handsomely dressed waiters in white kid gloves. The cakes were made in various forms of swans, rabbits, squirrels, etc besides many large steeples which were set on plate glass. Cousin Ann's marriage portion was "Goodale" (Father's old place), seventy-five negroes, and money. Cousin lived in great luxury, was the honored and beloved mistress of numerous slaves to whose wants and troubles she was always a ready comforter.
She died young leaving a large family of little children. On her death bed, she took her husband's hand and placing it on her wedding ring intimated to him her desire that he should never marry again. He kept his promise." Emma Eve Smith ®1893
