John, the heir, a yeoman and a fox-hunter, 'loud and notorious with his whip and spurs, settled down into a kind of Tony Lumpkin, waiting for the shoes of his father and his aunt. Thomas Frewen, the youngest, is briefly dismissed as 'a handsome beau'; but he had the merit or the good fortune to become a doctor of medicine, so that when the crash came he was not empty-handed for the war of life.

'No, indeed if I was to be Sir Anything, which probably I never shall be, I would hold, like my forefathers, to my good old Antony, which it was not my doing to disregard. 'Which earned him the title of Lumpkin, by which only he was known to his schoolfellow! said Arthur. 'If you ask after Fotheringham, they invariably say, "Oh, you mean old Lumpkin!"

He rose rapidly to eminence in the midst of this galaxy of talent and learning. The great John M. Dooly was upon the bench of this circuit, and was the intimate friend of Wilson Lumpkin, an elder brother of Joseph H. Lumpkin. Wilson Lumpkin and Joseph H. Lumpkin were politically opposed.
