2.4.36 Pharrs and Farrs sayes he was born in BuckHead- Atlanta. Hayes Manor was once his plantation. They had 15 children and 12 lived to be grown. He was a Confederate Soldier. He was eligible for the Society of Cincinnati. His nephew Henry Lovick Pharr Ph.D writes:
"Uncle Samuel was a strait, slim, bearded Presbyterian elder who looked like a prophet of old, and had many of the acteristics of the old prophets. As a small lad I was fascinated by his habit of standing erect with upraised hands and open eyes and praying with a stark certanity of it being heard. I asked him about it one time and he said, "son, I have never done anything to make me afraid to up and look god in the face." What a man he was.
2.4.37 From Pharrs and Farrs he wasa Confederate Soldier and very much like his father. They had 10 children and all lived to be grown.
