     Isaac Nabors REFN: 4328Be (Dates and source not given, but included in 'Genealogy of Jacoband Elizabeth Power Neighbors; From a letter written by H. S. Halsey to Thomas M. Owens: 'Tories were plunder the house of Isaac and Nancy Boyd Neighbors searching for stolen Negroes. Elizabeth and slaves hid during the plundering of the house. After the departure of the Tories with their booty, Mrs. Nabors and her children and remaining slaves ventured back into the house where lay her husband brutally mangled by the Tory broadswords, and where occurred a heart rendering scene: the widowed mother, the orphaned children and thefaithful slaves mingling their tears over the mutilated corpse. It was a night of horror long to be remembered. The next day some of the people of the neighborhood came in and buried Mr. Nabors. But it was not the Nabors familyalone that suffered from that horrible night's bloody work. Other families were visited, their horses and Negroes were stolen and persons were barbarously murdered. Among these was a man named Woodruff, who was killed with his wife and one or two children. After her husband was killed, Mrs. Nancy Boyd Nabors moved her children to the house of her sister and brother-in-law, AbrahamNabors, and the two families lived together until peace was made. They suffered much from Tory cruelty during the was and they had to resort to every artifice to save their food and clothing from the Tory marauders. They had hollow logs and trees in the woods in which, during the day, they kept their provisions, clothing and bedding concealed. John, a boy of 14 and son of Abram Nabors, often suffered from Tory malices. They would frequently torture him, hanging him up to force him to reveal the hiding places of the family supplies. But John was resolute in making no revelations. In this impoverished condition, the family adopted a perfect system of domestic economy. Each had a certain specified task assigned, which he was to perform every day. One was to do milking, one to do the wood cutting, one the washing, one the cooking, etc. it is remembered that (Isaac's son) William, was the weaver of the family. Mrs. Nancy Boyd Nabors, Isaac's widow, kept her horse and her cows in the swamp. She had a bridle at the house with which she would bridle her horse, mount him and drive the cows up at a certain time to be milked, for this milkwas the main dependence for the living of the family. On one occasion, a party of Tories visited the house, and one of them happened to see the bridle andtook possession of it. Mrs. Nabors was a spirited woman and seized the bridle while it was in the hands of the marauder, and though he pulled her several times around the house, she held on to it so resolutely that the Tory finally yielded it to her. As an instance of the poverty of the country, on one occasion, Mrs. Nabors lost a needle and she spent three days looking for it until she found it, as it was impossible to get another needle except at Charleston which was then in the possession of the British.' H. S. Halsey wrote another letter to Thomas M. Owens in which he relates an interesting Neighbours family legend. He writes: 'These three Nabers brothers had a sister...her name is not known to us. On one occasion, perhaps in the War of the Revolution, on a warm summer day, this young Nabers woman was weaving. Wearied by the ....[rest of sentence missing] The next day, sure enough, the Indians came, burnt the house and took her away a captive. She was a shrewd woman, and knew that her friends would follow the Indians and attempt to rescue her. So, whenever she well could do so, she would break the small twigs on the bushes along her route as to guide her friends. She wore a white dress....and managed to tear off small fragments of this dress and dropped them along the route. The Indians, however, detected her in this and.
