Shavehead, one of the young men who was taken prisoner to St. Augustine, Florida. After serving a time there; of his own choice went to school, where he acquitted himself honorably in conduct and learning. Making a profession of Christ, he was admitted to church fellowship. Some who were most acquinted with him hoped he would make a minister of the Gospel of Christ, which had brought so much comfort to his soul. Whilst engaged in his studies his lungs were found diseased and he was sent back to his people with consumption, which soon terminated his life. He expressed himself ready to die in full hope of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ. He was interred in the Sand Hills near Darlington on the 10th. of Nov., 1880, his people bewailing his death with great lamentation.
