Birth Date: abt 1829 Sources: North Carolina Troops 1861-65, A Roster From "Questions and answers to a letter written to Sam Hood by Bertha 7 Jan. 1962 1. Did grandfather Robert Barfield Hood fight in tha Civil War? A. Yes. Q. with what group and what side? A. South. Do not know what group. E. G. Hood family could tell you probably. 2. Are there any stories about him of these war years? A. Don't know of any. Shortly after the war he moved to Florida and was there three years. He was around Madison and West Farms, Florida. He left there and went to Cochran, Ga. and got him a place there and settled. When he went there he bought that property where Samson and Abbie Parker live now.He built that house right where Samson and Abbie live. He paid $1.00 an acre for 405 acres. I tried to find his family bible when I was down there, but the Bible was put in a barrel when they moved and the rats destroyed it. It was a log house with two fire places, with a chimney built at each end of it. They tore these chimneys out and built it right in the middle of the room. I would say the log house was about 48 ft. by 18 ft. The other exterior rooms have been added on with lumber. Father and mother married in 1880. 3. Do you remember him, what did he look like? A. Yes, he was a fine gentleman. He was tall with broad sholders and blue eyes. He had sandy complexion (red sandy hair) and bald. He was good looking. His profession was working timber --- getting gum from the tree to make turpintine, and rosen. He was well fixed financially. He gave each of his children a farm with a house on it (Long before he died around Empire). He was justice of the peace at Empire Ga. for 40 years approximately. He was never belonged to any other church until he was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was about 80 or 81 when he was baptized. His wife was baptized shortly afterward. Elder Justin M. Green from Preston Idaho baptized Grandpa Hood (Robert Barfield Hood). Elder Brigham F. Stewart of Alpine of Apache Co., Arizona baptized Grandmother, Mary Marand Thornton Hood. They are buried in the Hood cemetary there on the Samson Parker place, which is about a quarter of a mile out in the field from the house Samson Parker now lives in. Direction being Southeast, There is a fence around the cemetary. They do not use it anymore. Ed's first wife and my youngest sister is buried there. Some other too. Robert Barfield Hood As Told By Sam Hood In An Interview By Bertha Hood Smith 24 Aug 1963 , Ukiah, California Moved to Florida for three years after the Civil War--then moved to Cochran, Georgia (Curtis and Becky have copy of deed). Then bought land at Empire, Georgia. But before he moved there he built a house on it and worked his trees for turpentine rosen. Early in life worked in mercantile establishment in Goldsboro and Wilmington, North Carolina. Was a farmer before the Civil War. Sherman's Army camped right around his (R. B. Hood) home and they burned about everything except little corn and bacon. All that was left standing was cooking shack. When R. B. Hood came home from the war, he didn't want to stay but had to stay awhile until he could move his family to Florida. He and four brothers fought in the Civil War with the south. (Bertha's notes -- Five Hood brothers. Only one got slightly wounded.) Looks: Tall blond hair, blue eyes, over six feet, medium build. Raised in North Carolina (Wayne County). Loved to fish. Children loved to be around him and he liked them. He was well liked by his neighbors. Used to have lots of people at his place to have social and dances. R. B. Hood gave each one of his children a good little tract of land "so he could die in peace". The 175 acres where Sampson Parker lives was the original homestead and gave to Elijah Ballard Hood, and Sam Hood was raised there. R. B. Hood baptized by Elder J. M. Green. Grandma Hood baptized by Elder B. F. Stewart, Alpine, Apache County, Arizona. Questions and answers to a letter to Sam Hood by Bertha 7 Jan. 1962 4. What did he do for a living? A. In his later years he farmed, raised a few pigs, cows, chickens and vegetables. No cotton. Grew some corn to feed animals with. He read a lot and was well educated. Did go to school in early days. Dear Family, There are two volumes of "L.D.S. Family and Individual Record" journals Publised 1913 that I have. One is in Sam Hood's hand writing or maybe Mentie's and one is iN Amy Hood's hand writing. The oldest which I've typed is attached. Some of the people on the cover I don't know, I'm sure some of the lettering I've not understood and added a (?) of italics. I'm not sure that will show up in the RTF (Rich Text File). I know that much of this was written from Sam's memory and is subject to errors. But this is a very good source and together with the questions Mike Crandall asks and information he gives we should be able to start to gather additional source data on our relatives. Mike P.S. Mike I'll go though what you sent me along with this file too and see if we find more questions than answers. The more we know the more we want to learn. I find it interesting that Effie was not named just like Sam for the first few years, I wonder if that was a family tradition? This is from the RTF Text File Mike mentions. L.D.S.
