General Note

Accompanying note: "'The founders and the originators [of Sacred Harp singing in Old Chicora], most of this, was the Albritton family. Uh, Perry [Matthew] Albritton [(12/21/1855-1/20/1936)] was the leader at the very dawn of my memory, which, I'm 55. And then my grandfather was Jesse Arthur Albritton [(4/4/1867-12/13/1943)], he took it until he died.'"

"'My grandfather was born in Florida, right here in, just a mile of this church [Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church] and had a place that joined this property and lived here all of his life. They had it with them. I have seen some of the old books that his sisters had and also his brothers had, which only had the three lines, they didn't have alto. And we have some of those books and I remember one in particular was my, was one of his sister's books. It's still around today. But it had three lines and it was a small book. But they brought it with them when they came down from Georgia, back around, uh, Civil War.'"
