According to Carl Smith: Charity Hampton Farmer (Wife of James William), had a brother-in-law named James Madison Hampton who was born abt 1871. All the Hamptons lived on Swan Pond and so did all the Farmers and they all got together every week to go fox hunting as was the custom in those days. They would get up on top of the highest mountain and listen to their dogs running. They could identify each dog just by his bark. Flora Francis Farmer went along on these fox hunts, which in those days was probably a little unusual, not exactly proper for a 16 yr old because of all the moonshine lickker and cussin that went along with the fox hunting. Anyhow it turns out that Flora Francis was seduced by James Madison Hampton and she had a child named John Thomas and since she and his father were never married,he was raised as a Farmer.
