Mr. B. H. Conyers owns two slaves—“Uncle Harry and Aunt Milly” who are the parents of twenty-six healthy children—all born at single births; the mother is about 48 years of age, and looks as healthy and stout as though she were thirty. Col. Lewis Tumlin owns a negro woman, the mother of several children—three of which were born at one birth; one of them died when one year old. J. A. Maddox, Census taker. |
