     Biography of Jefferson Daniel Williamson:

Uncle Dick usually wore a handlebar moustache, a broad brimmed black hat and carried a long barreled six-shooter in a hip holster . For the times that I knew him, carrying a pistol was not consistent with the habits of his neighbors; supposedly he had good reason to be armed, but I never knew what that reason was. Uncle Dick was a memorable person. Tall and rather thin with a presence indicating physical strength and an absence of fear. He was prone to bragg a little - one of the tales on him is that in boasting of his strength when he was a young man, he said he could "squeeze the tar out of a lightard knot." (Lightard knot = pinewood knot from the heart of a pine, "fat " with tar, hard as rock, and almost rotproof). People gathered these from the pinewoods where they were lying on the ground amid the wiregrass, and used them for firewood. Until the late 1940s, most people in that part of Madison County had only fireplace heat in their homes - a good lightard knot or two could make the greenest oak log burn. [As told to Randophy Phillips by his Cousin John Henry Phillips]
