Ans: Eliza Walker Gipson Heady before I was married. Ques: How old were you when you married. Ans: About 17. Ques: Where were you living when Uriah Stafford died? Ans: Virginia - came here about a year after, stayed with Aunt Patsy Stafford pretty near all the time. Mounce Butler read the will and said my daddy was my agent and he had a perfect right to sell it. It has been five or six years since I talked to him. Abe Hestand told me he didn't see how I could be knocked out and said see another lawyer. I went to see John Gore. He said he'd read the will and would write me a letter but he never did. I was mighty discouraged. Then I went to see [D. B.] Johnson there. Abb Pharris was the first said Patsy Stafford didn't have the right to sell the timber. He was there doctoring one of our children, Lillie Mai I think. She was about six. She is going on 15 now. Five or six years ago when I talked to John J. Gore one of my girls was present - Lizzie Brown, now.
