Enter a personal reminiscence or story.
Colonel Littleberry Leftwich, being the only son in a family of 12, inherited the Leftwich home a Charity TN as was the custom of the day. He was a planter, owning slaves and maintaining a typical home of the Old South. He participated in politics. He fought for the lost cause as First Lt in the 41st TN Regiment and was taken prisoner at Fort Donelson, carried to Camp Chase, where he was kept for 2 1/2 years suffering all the hardships of capture.

When a fanatic burned the old church which his father had erected, he replaced it with a frame building which still stands. He and his many children rest in the church yard cemetery.
