Old George STIVERS, a methodist preacher, taught school.I went to school to
him.He was a man of much prayer.He held family prayer, night and morning.Also
at the school.Said he did not sin..At family prayer, his son Simeon put a pin
in the toe of his sock and while I was kneeling at famimly prayer, he stuck
it into my body.This made me jump and struck Bro.STIVERS.After Prayers the
father said"I will make you pay for that Simmie", and he did give him a
severe thrashing..thias was in Manchester in 1847..I was 29 yrs old.I went to
school to Milton Pigg, a crippled man.Mershon was a teacher in the county
also.


REV GEORGE STIVERS had a large family of sons who were the most reckless men
ever reared in the county.sim STIVERS wanted to kill Gen.Garrard.I order to
get a chance at him he stabbed a man named fitz perhaps Fitzgerald thinking
that Garrard would come to Fritz's defense and then he couls kill him.Fitz
died and STIVERS left the county and never returned.General Garrard was a man
of Great psyical strength, a very brave man and men feared him.He rarely if
ever had to fight..he was peaceable himself.


George Stivers JR, who lives near town with his nephew, James STIVERS was
seen in his office inthe couthouse, naked with a woman..The Grand Jury saw
him but did not indict him.James Stivers, lawyer, who now lives near this
place, killed this man at Irvine.
