His address was pleasant and prepossessing , his mind sturdy, vigorous and honest, and sought that whi ch was true and useful. On Thursday evening September 10, 1857 Joseph Lucius Gas ton, Esquire, was married to the beautiful Margaret Brice H emphill of Woodland Plantation, Fairfield County, SC, hom e of her grandfather, Robert Brice.
