We ran away and got married one morning with another couple on October 4th, 1933 in Chesterfield, South Carolina. I was scared someone would find out before we could get married, I was so young but we made it just fine. We had to sneak around to be together because my mother didn't believe in me dating. On our first date, he borrowed a car and we went for a ride. He soon proposed to me in the living room." They had 3 children together: Alvin (born 1934), James (born 1936), Carvin (born 1939).

The most enjoyable times she remembers was going home after she was married. They always had Pepsi’s there for them, their favorite drink. She liked to go to the cupboard and find homemade biscuits and country ham that were left over from breakfast. I remember loving to go to their house as a child. I, too, liked to go into the pie safe and get a snack from her leftovers or a piece of pie. Uncle Bentley carved little monkeys out of a peach seed. They had such minute details. I wore them on a ribbon around my neck. Somehow I always managed to lose them. How I wish I had one today! This story goes about Aunt Essie: When Wayne was born Aunt Essie came to our house to help. She had cooked a big dinner. She knew that sweet potato pie was my favorite so this was the dessert she prepared. As you know, homegrown sweet potatoes have strings in them, or they did then. Aunt Essie had long red hair. She gave me a big helping of the pie and I did not eat it. She asked why I wasn’t eating my pie since it was my favorite. I retorted that I was not going to eat it because it had her red hair in it. She never let me forget this story as long as she lived."

He grew up and spent most of his life in Montgomery County, North Carolina and was the youngest of 8 siblings. On January 5th, 1890, he married Mary Frances Singleton. They had seven children together: Fannie Mae Livingston (born 1893), William Harrison Livingston (born 1895), Carson Livingston (born 1898), Betty Livingston (born 1903), Lemuel Sears Livingston (1907), Lillie Jane Livingston (born 1910), and James Thomas Livingston (born 1913). Alexander was a farmer and lived at Capelsie in Troy with his family up until 1927, when they moved to Norwood, North Carolina. Alexander was Scottish, as his grandfather was born in Scotland. Father: William Livingston Mother: Hannah Robinson ________________ _______ Wife: Mary Frances Singleton Children : Fannie Mae Livingston , William Harrison Livingston, Carson Livingston, Betty Livingston, Lemuel Sears Livingston, Lillie Jane Livingston, James Thomas Livingston About Alexander In an interview I found in 2025, Fannie Mae Livingston (Alexander's daughter) talked about Alexander. She said that he only drank black coffee and often quoted "When I make coffee, I make coffee. I don't want to be fooled. I don't want 9 grains to the gallon." Alexander said that's the way people make their coffee; 9 grains of coffee to the gallon. The interview is attached below. Alexander and his family were very poor. The entire family of 7-12 people all lived in a four-room house that was never painted, had no attic, and was warmed by a wood stove. Their laundry was done in the yard using a big tub, and their home was lit by oil lamps. The children shared a 12x14 room with three beds and minimal furniture. The family often traveled by horse and buggy and they did take a train from Troy to Norwood, NC. The family owned at least 121 acres in Montgomery County. When they decided to move to Norwood, Alexander sold 10 acres to his son, William, for 100 dollars. When Alexander died in 1929, the family split the money and sold the rest to W. J. Morton for 342 dollars.

Click here to view profile Boyd Jackson August 11th 1929 – September 4th 2010 Benjamin Boyd Jackson was born in Banks County Georgia on August 11th 1929 to Mittie Lou Ausburn. It was believed by most that Claude Jackson, husband of Mittie Ausburn, was the father of Boyd Jackson; however, after DNA testing, through the son of Lucille Jackson, it has been determined that Claude Jackson may not have been the biological father of Boyd, rather it was a man by the name of "Luther Huttie Watson". This was apparently known to a select few, including Boyd Jackson's son, Ronnie Jackson, who told me that Luther "Luke" Watson, was his biological grandfather and that his father, Boyd Jackson, always knew this. It is unknown why or how the relationship between Luther and Mittie came to pass, but it is speculated that Claude Jackson may have been unable to have children. Boyd was originally named after his maternal grandfather, Benjamin Ausburn, whom he was quite fond of growing up. He said his grandfather, Benjamin, was the strongest man he ever seen. He would cut down trees with only an axe, never a saw. He could plow a mule all day long, stopping only for a glass of water. Boyd had one younger sister, Lucille who was born in 1932. He also had a much older half-sister, Bertie Mae Ausburn. Boyd's mother, Mittie, became very sickly. With Claude working the farm, she wasn't able to care of Boyd and Lucille by herself. Bertie Mae, would pick up Boyd and Lucille on Sunday afternoon and keep them at their house until Friday afternoon so they could go to school. So Boyd was essentially raised by Bertie Mae and her husband, Harve Deaton. Mittie Jackson died on July 6th, 1941. Before she passed, she pulled Harve Deaton aside and asked him to take care of her children. Harve promised that he would take care of them as long as they would stay with him.
