But they do tell who was there as well as here in 1790. North Carolina is fortunate in that the record hag been preserv- ed. Records for Georgia, Dela- ware, Kentucky; New Jersey, Tennessee and Virginia were de- stroyed when the British burned Washington in the War of 1812. The Virginia roll was partially reconstructed from-other records. The total population of the Un- ited States in 1790, exclusive of slaves, was 3,231,533. There were approximately 540,000 families. The-names of some 400,000 of these have been preserved on the gecords still available. STATESVILLE SHOTS— Hella HENRY dodging suitcase behind . «Joanna PARLIER ie ie rf q Dear.

She was one of the most beautiful women I evesmnew, and Gordon was unusually handsome.- They have been divorced a Mimber of years, but they lived in Chilton about 30 years , ago.

She married a Gaither af™ethey live in Cameron, Texas, if still ‘living. And TI re- member thatimmbher said they were distantly related. They are or were rather weal and built a beautiful home there.

Had mead back through your letters to se@ what you said about the MO uICHOLAS W. Gaither was @ son of. Basil Sr. That is.what Mm of Winston-Salem wrote. But why af@ Basil not mention hir ‘ie?
