At Nottoway Court House, on April 7, 1861, took place that memorable meeting, called to decide on secession. The sentiment was overwhelmingly f or secession, Colonel Travis Epes of Fancy Hill standing almost alone against such a move. Colonel Epes, who always wore a tall beaver hat and
Prince Albert coat, was a striking figure as he arose to address the meeting. Said Colonel Epes: "You do not know what you are doing in voting f or secession. You cannnot compete with the Federal Government; they will send an army here, despoil your homes, and free your slaves. Every ab le-bodied man before me will have to go into the army and try to repel t he invaders. I have five sons who will have to go. Should Virginia secede, I will give everything I possess to her cause, but I am opposed to secession." He was howled down in derision and his brother, Thomas
Freeman Epes, took him severely to task for his speech.
