"Joseph was born at the old homestead. Like other youths of his home and period, he was denied anything beyond the merest rudiments of school instruction. He learned to read and write and do some figuring and he made a success of the vocation of farming. He never owned slaves, though he sympathized with the institution." (Article from "History of Virginia," Vol 4, p. 261.)
