    Notes for William Jason Howard:

    I well remember going to Uncle Jason and Aunt Hattie's house for family reunions. Uncle Jason would bar-b-que a pig all night over open coals and make brunswick stew. He called me "Cooter." He was the only one to call me by that name. He told me that I was his "Cooter." The first thing I wanted when reaching their house was to go to the wood cooking stove and get an "Uncle Jason tater" from the warming oven. That is what I called baked sweet potatoes. I have wonderful memories of spending time in the summer at the farm. The girls would pick and shell beans and peas for dinner, while the boys would work in the fields. I remember riding in the tobacco sled and bumping over the ploughed rows, the smell of the tobacco barn, swimming in the "Hoopee" River. So many memories. I loved my Uncle Jason and Aunt Hattie very much.

    Jason and Hattie eloped to get married. She was only 16 and Jason was 19. Jason drove a horse and buggy to Hattie's house in Dellwood while the rest of the family slept, and pulled under a window. Hattie had her clothes tied in a bundle which she threw into the back of the wagon. She then climbed out of the window into the wagon.

    Information from a granddaughter, Deborah Williamson, Hattie's cousin Otis Lamb told her that Hattie was so small when she was born, they brought her home in a shoebox and that was where she slept until she grew bigger.

    According to a sister-in-law of Hattie's, known as Teady, Jason pulled under Hattie's window of the old house in Dellwood with a horse and wagon. Hattie had her clothes tied in a bundle and threw it in the back of the wagon. She then climbed in and they eloped. Hattie was only 16 at the time and Jason was19.
