Notes
a. Note:   Source for the following: "Logs & Moonshine" by Suzanne Tate; pg. 15-18
  (Interview with Julia Jordan Haywood) "My Daddy was a bootlegger. That was a way of life in Buffalo City--nothing to be ashamed of! It was a way of surviving. Daddy was in prison when I was born in 1930. he had gotten caught making moonshine. In 1932-33, he was back in business, working as the contact person in Raleigh for big congressmen in Washington, DC and people in New York who were ordering Buffalo City whiskey. A lot of "likker" went to Washington and New York because it was top quality stuff. It was rye, not corn. Buffalo City was known for having the best likker in the United States.... I went to Norfolk to go to school there in 1942. Daddy was working in the shipyard in Norfolk, but he was still involved in bootlegging at Buffalo City... I was raised by Uncle John and Aunt Johnny Duvall from the age of 2. Mama went with Daddy when he was the bootleg contact in Raleigh, and I stayed with my aunt and uncle. They didn't have any children. When Mama and Daddy came back home, Aunt Johnny didn't want to give me up. I was more fortunate than most growing up in Buffalo City because Uncle John came there with money. He had worked with a big lumber company in the West Indies. When he came to Buffalo City, he started the Duvall Brothers Lumber Company with his brothers, Claude and Ephraim. Uncle John could look at a tree and tell in his head how many board feet you could get out of it...
