Hello, I am posting this info here for any researchers. I found this and made a copy of it probably in Salt Lake City Utah when I was doing my Tatum family research. I am sharing this with anyone who wants it. I will say that it looks like it was written by the same person who wrote down the Tatum info so I will also list here the Tatum info. However the Tatum info seems to have been signed by Wm. T. Harrison, Senr. so perhaps not.
Here goes but pleae understand that the orginal writing of the author is hard to read. I would be interested in any connection of the Egleton and Harrison names with any Tatums.
Glad to share what I found as the Good Lord knows many folks have share their info with me!!!
The letter begins:
" Stony Creek
