I believe I told you that he is he only first de ree cousin I have left in this state; neither my wife nor I have nd livin-aelatives'but cousins, and their descendant's, except that my wife h as ne nephew and one niece, with a few children. As to relatives we are poor indeed. his is why I asked you if you could give any information about Uncle John's and ncle Sam's (STEWART) families.

When I first saw it, the ce was gone from around the grave yard, and the graves were trodden down by the estic animals, for it was on a hill, in a permanent pasture field.
