Here settled Willis McDonald, my grandfather, a soldier of the Revolution, who served under Marion; Ledbetter, Watkins, Divine, Watson, Davis, Brent, Heckler, Goodrum, Bollen, Farley, Hynum, Shaw, Bolls, Gibson, Harrison and many others, whose names come spontaneously into my mind as I write.
Early pupils of the Cane Ridge School were probably Farleys, McDonalds, Watkins, Jones, etc..."[2] The WPA interviewed one old resident who stated, "I first attended school at Clifton Cross-roads, about one-half mile north of Lorman.
