She had seven children, two boys and five girls; Bob and Aaron. My oldest sister's name was Harriet; my name is Bettie; I am nest to my oldest sister. There is Eliza next; one died. There were two younger: Sidney and Sarah Jane. They were left in Mississippi; at the death of old man Weir my mother fell to John Futhy and went to Mississippi where she died, and left Sidney and Sarah Jane.
