Granpa Aylor was born in Alabama a few days before J.Q. Adams was inaugurated president of the U.S. He moved with his parents to Tennessee when a mere lad. He was married at the age of twent two to Miss Anna Hill, the union being blessed by two sons and two daughters, who still survive him. His wife died some twenty years ago. At the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted in the Federal side and served in the 22nd Tenn. Mtd. Infantry under Gen. Huckeby. After the war he moved with his family to the west where the buffalo roamed the prairie and the Indians were yet living in their wigwams. He joined the Christian church at the age of twenty three and remained a loyal member till summoned to his Heavenly home.
