This man and wife died the same year, leaving 8 children. The oldest, a girl of 17 or 18, married Sam SMITH who keeps "Jonis' Ferry" three miles from here. Robert, the eldest boy, is at the ferry. Paratina is with Major STRIBLING. Samuel is with Mr. Wesley HUNT in Williamson County. Margetta is with Mrs. COOK at Rutersville in this county. The little girl Emer is in your place [i.e., with Mr. BASTIAN of Bastrop]. The youngest is deceased. This family came from Florence, a small place in Alabama.
