Name John Coles SINGLETON [1] Suffix Jr. Born 2 Feb 1844 South Carolina 
Gender Male HIST When Mary Carter (Singleton) Carter was six weeks old and her brother John nearly three, their father was ordered by his doctor to move to a colder climate, as he could not get rid of a bad case of malaria; so they left for Clifton Forge, Virginia, where a relative of Papa’s, Cousin Mary Southall Venable, kindly turned over a cottage she owned to Papa as long as he stayed there, which was about six years. Papa was ticket agent at the Clifton Forge Station most of the time. They moved back to South Carolina early in 1877 to Uncle Richard’s small new home he had built on Blackwoods, a part of his original plantation which he had kept after having to lose his lovely “Home Place” because of a huge sum required by law of all the heirs of Colonel Richard Singleton due to a note of his to his nephew, Powell McRae. Their house burned to the gound in (about) 1871.
