2. According to an elderly man living in Union Co., Mississippi during the 1970's George and a black man had gone from SC to MS about 1840 or '41, lived in a shed like structure, and raised a crop. The following year (1841 or 42) after the crop had been laid by, George left his friend (Beasleys hated slavery) and went back to SC to get married. As soon as he and Rebecca had said their vows, according to family stories, they immediately set out to return to MS.
