Barbara, thanks for the info. No one knows in what part of GA "the boxer" lived, only that his wife was named Patsy (possibly a nickname) and he did some blacksmithing.The family legend goes that one day a man rode up as he was at his forge and declared that he had ridden clear across Georgia to whip him because he was said to be the best man in the state.After the fight, they had to give him a bed and nurse him for a month before sending him back home. Did the census records give the name of his wife? - - Bill
