As war drums began beating, North and South, the solitary law partner of William Lowndes Yancy was the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, William Parish Chilton. For more than two years, CHILTON & YANCEY had daily classified adverts in the Montgomery Advertiser. Each partner had a son who was a member of the Alabama bar. These lads were good friends, and they operated a branch of the firm from an office in Tuskeege. In 1860, the youths were enumerated for the census in this office. This may have led to duplicate entries, i.e. from home as well. William P. Chilton represented Montgomery County in the Confederate House of Representatives. He and his large family paid grievously for this sacrifice. He had no need to volunter. Yet the State of Alabama has damned this Cincinatus with faint praise for 150 years. As his great-great-grandson this really pisses me off. Among his descendants, no one thinks Wm. P. Chilton would have cared two cents that Chilton County is named for him. If he ever ate a single peach, we find no family record glorifying that fruit. --Edward M.

I was afraid the grand finale was going to end up where every Confederate screed always goes but instead you denounce ... peaches?!? What a delightful twist ending. - RevelationDirect (talk) 21:16, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
