A year or two ago I wrote to the Chief of Police there to try and find Grace [McHeney?] who was married to Porter and I got word that Porter and her was both dead and he did not know what had become of the family I am James Brown's daughter my mother was Mary Jane Scott my brother James Brown is still living and well he lives out a few miles in the country I would like very much to hear from you and let me know how long grandmother is dead and if your mother is living yet and all particulars about yourself and family My father died in 1855 and mother died in 1857 when I was small. I am married and has no family, my husbands name is William Flemming.
