Arabian Stock In Caswell. -- Col. Graves, from Caswell County, who is now an officer in the Egyptian army, will visit his home in June, we learn, and will bring with him a thoroughbred Arabian stallion. There is now a beautiful Arab colt near Milton, on the farm of T. A. Donoho.

Oddly, the 1860 US Census (Milton, Caswell County, North Carolina) entry for the T. A. Donoho household shows a J. B. Donoho (27) in the position usually reserved for the wife. The children listed are: M. L. Donoho (5), which most likely is Mary Lowry Donoho, who was born 1855; and K. M. Donoho (2), which most likely is Kate Morrison Donoho, who was born 1858.

Longwood was the home of the Donoho family until November 1954 when the last surviving child of Thomas A. Donoho and Isabella Glenn Garland died. It was once the home of Romulus Saunders, who traded it to Dr. John Tabb Garland. And, it presumably is through this ownership that the property came into the hands of the Donoho family. The daughter of Dr. Garland, Isabella Glenn Garland, married Thomas A. Donoho.

Pages 487-488:
Caswell County had been troubled by very little disturbance, but reports of disorder reached the governor, who wrote Thomas A. Donoho, a prominent citizen, and appealed to him to use his influence to restore quiet. Donoho replied that the reports were exaggerated and that the county as a whole was in good condition. He placed the blame for most of the trouble on John W. Stephens, and suggested the employment of some moderate "gentleman of character" to do the same work that Dr. Jones had done in Orange. Stephens was one of the governor's detectives and was devoting a large part of his time to incendiary politics. On May 21, he was murdered, and investigation failed to reveal the offenders. Wilson Carey fled in terror and the governor wired Pool and Abbott that he had been driven out of Caswell and that Congress should act. On June 6, the governor issued a proclamation reciting eleven outrages supposed to have been committed by the Klan, offering a reward of five hundred dollars for the arrest of any person connected in any way with the crimes, and enjoining all officers to bring the offenders to justice.
The campaign for the August elections was now in progress. The governor was deeply interested in the result and the prospects were dark. He was in constant consultation with his chosen advisers, who were in favor of putting the condition of affairs in the State to practical political advantage, and accordingly, in pursuance of a plan devised by Pool, on July 8, he proclaimed Caswell County in a state of insurrection.

Thomas A. Donoho purchased furniture from Milton cabinetmaker Thomas Day. On a bill of sale dated 25 February 1856, Thomas Day charge $95 for a rosewood wardrobe. Since most of his other wardrobes he sold for between $25 and $35, the increase in price suggests the use of expensive wood.
