The Singleton Family
The old William Singleton lived on the Price place. Ervin Price was his
son-in-law. He reached the ripe old age of just a little over 100 years.
He had eleven children. It is interesting to note some of their
marriages. Edmund married margaret Coffe, daughter of General Coffe and
Dudley married her sister Elizabeth Coffe. Eliza, daughter of Edmund
married the Reverend Sutton Dickson. Sarah Jane married his brother
Jefferson Dickson, and Amanda married James sister of John W and Jesse
Green and Matthew married their soster, Amanda Green. To sum it up three
sisters married three brothers and two brothers married two sisters and
again two brothers married other two sisters.

William Singleton was the father of Russell, who died recently, and
Frank, who was years ago the editor of the Clayton Tribune, the
Tri-county Advertiser and the Gainesville Eagle. He married Lizzie
Williams. The widows and several children of each family survive.
