A 1806 exchange shows Andrew B Stephens seeking to wed Jane Grier with formal letters to Aaron and Jane Grier. The documents include Stephens’s self-description, poverty, ambitions, and promise of fidelity, along with Aaron Grier’s consent and a cordial response from Jane’s mother.
The document records John Linsdey of Wilkes County Georgia naming his wife Clarresa and several executors including James M. Linsley and John Clarke as guardians of his estate from 1804. It outlines equal shares for his children with specific funds set aside for education and lists witnesses and court recording in 1811.
A playful exchange about a maid with a sweetheart and her mother asking if tonight's visit will occur. Master Harry, curious and hazy on the meaning, blurts out a confused question in search of the hidden term.
