Nathaniel at the time he was 104 yrs. of age.

I will take a few lines to write of him.He lived 112 years.I know he bought a car when he was 104 from Craft Motor Company. A salemans J.D. Martin waited on him. Told him he was the oldest customer he had ever had. Nathan married Mary Catherine (the Sexton's G-Grandmother)He also enlisted in the 16th Virginia Cavalry,Company B,19th December 1862, and fought as a Confederate Solider. He drawed two checks,one from the Confederate Veterans Bureau and the other an old age assistance check from the state.His descendants altogether total 165, he is the father of 15 children, 100 grandchildren and 50 ggrandchildren.His grandson,Joe Gaddy,took him to Florida to live his last days. I am told he is buried in Orange City Florida. There was a write up in the Kingsport TN paper about his purchase of the car. He must have bought it in Bristol or Kingsport.His grandson drove him around as much as he could.
