Dear Elizabeth,
I take this opportunity of writing to you to let you
know that we are all well at present, and I hope these
few lines will reach you enjoying the same blessing,
for it is a great blessing to enjoy health. Altho I am
in good health I am afflicted with pains now and then.
We received you letter the sixth of this month. It
gave us great pleasure to hear from you all. I went to
town that day to put five letters in the office to T.
B. Scott and one to Clark McGraw (McGaw) and one to
Kitty and Agnes Martin and the balance to other
places. I got one from you and Tom backed to Jane, and
one from Mat backed to Dick, and when any of us gets
a letter from South Carolina it is who and who will
get to read it first, until all reads it. We get so
little news from there and it comes so seldom
that it turns us all upside down to get a nice letter
that come from there.
I have not much news to write as times are so hard.
The people here are all for fight, and doing all they
can to secure arms and munitions to fight
with. There are a great many gone to Virginia from
here and have been in some battles there, and I expect
they have been in a very large battle by this time,
and a great many have gone to Tennessee to stop the
progress of the enemy there and they want more men to
help them. I expect we all will have to go there or
somewhere else yet to fight. We are fixing up shotguns
and rifles and having bowie knives made in the
blacksmiths shops to fight with, because we cant
secure the right kink of arms; they aint to be had,
at least not enough of them.
Crops look fine now but begin to want rain, except
cotton. It is very small for the time of year. I think
if we have good luch we will make eight hundred or one
thousand bushels of corn. I intend to sow about twenty
............crops in wheat and oats this fall if
nothing happens.
Tell Tom we have fine fun catching raccoons and ground
hogs in our corn. We have shot and caught a great
many. We dont have to go far from the house to catch
them, for they come up to the house and go to
fighting, and the dogs take after them, and trees
three or four up a tree, and the deers come in our
field, and there are several large droves of wild
turkeys come in the plantation every day. Sometimes
they come to the spring which aint more than
twenty-five yards from the house and then come in the
lot.
Dick and John Lewis killed one apiece the other day.
O Liza you ought to be here to eat watermelons. We
have more than we can destroy. We all have a patch
apiece, and I have more than a hundred fine large
orange watermelons ripe in my patch now, and have them
to weigh from sixteen pounds to twenty pounds apiece.
One watermelon is as much as Jane and myself can eat
at a time. Sometimes we dont get through with it. You
had better come over to get a bite of the nicest you
have ever seen. We have had them for sometime, and
will have them until frost. I could take them to town
and get from 40 to 50 cts. apiece for them but I
wont, for that is taking up a negros trade, although
a good many white folks do it.
I will give you some idea how crops grow here. We
planted about six acres of corn in new ground and some
little in old land on the fourth and fifth of July,
and now it is from waist high to as high as my head,
and it never has been worked until now. We are working
it, and this is the seventh of August. It would make
good corn even if it never was worked. We had a
beautiful rain this evening that stopped us from work.
We lack about one days plowing of getting through the
new ground.
I started this letter in July but now will finish it;
this is the seventh of August. Crops are fine - if you
all were here you could live well on half the labor
that you do there. Tell Joe Mills that I want him to
move here; that he can make three dollars here to
every one he makes there. Tell him I have about three
hundred dollars worth of work for him to do, if he
will come and do it. Tell him that I made the rise (?)
of five hundred dollars last year, besides what it
took to do me, and I expect to make that much or more
this year, and that aint nothing to what I expect to
make when I get my place fixed up. Tell Joe I wouldnt
want him to come, nor any other person else that I
respected, if it wasnt that I wished him well, and
knowing that he can do better here, for it is a civil
part of the world.
Liz I want you to write all the names of the
volunteers that you know, or can find out that went
from South Carolina to Virginia and especially those
that went from Abbeville District, for I know a great
many of them. It will be a great satisfaction to me
for to know, and write to me all the names of those
that got killed in the battles, and what battles they
got killed in, and who got wounded, and what officers
they were under, from the head officers down to the
lieutenants.
You wrote to me that you wanted me to send you a good
pen if I have any. I just had bought a box of pens the
day I received you letter. I would send you and Mat
some of them for they are the best pens I ever wrote
with in my life, for they dont scratch the paper like
common pens. I would send them but I know they
wouldnt be worth a cent by the time they got there in
a letter. The boys put water in my ink and it spreads
on my paper. You know that water will spread on paper
when barely touched.
You all neednt look for many letters from Dick since
the postage is higher, for he is too stingy to pay the
postage, for it is ten cents here for every letter
that is put in the office to go that distance. I tell
you Liz, Dick had one letter wrote to Joe Mills and
one to Mat and when he found out the postage was
higher he wouldnt send nary one of them and brought
them both back home again, and laughed at him about
them and shamed him about it. He concluded at last
that he would send Mats, and said he wouldnt pay for
many letters to send to South Carolina. I told him
that I would if they cost fifty cents. Some of them in
reading my letter has got it wet and I havent time to
try to dry it.
Jane is as sassy as ever - I dont know what I will do
with her, she just sits here and eats watermelon while
I am writing. I am afraid she will make herself sick
yet. "O" she said "she has got her belly full" and
will quit for this time.
I must bring my letter to a close for Jane bothers me.
You must write as soon as you get this letter and be
sure to write me all the news. John Lewis wrote to you
that I wouldnt let him go to the war, but he is
welcome to go now or to go to school one year, just
which he pleases. Jane and family join me in love to
you all, and accept a large portion of my love to your
self. So, farewell for this time, all letters backed
to me I will answer, and all backed to the rest may do
the same.
T. J. Matthews to
N. E. Fortescue
(Nancy Elizabeth)
Letter dated February 12, 1864 from M. J. (Fortescue)
Matthews (Mary Jane) to mother and sisters. The
sisters were apparently Nancy E., Ann L., and
Martha A. (Mat) Fortescue. The father, Thomas, had
died in 1847.
Others mentioned:
Tommy Most likely James Thomas Fortescue, her brother
then in the army Billey William Henry Matthews, her
son
Uncle Jimmy ?
Cousin Miller ?
Cousin Martha ?
Kitty and Agnes Last name Martin, spoke of in previous
letter Margaret McGaw ?
Mississippi - Pontotoc
County, February 12, 1864
Dear Mother and Sisters,
It is with pleasure that I seat myself to drop you a
few lines in answer to yours of the 13th of December.
I am truly glad that Ma has got so very well again. We
were surprised to hear that she had wove 200 yards of
cloth since she got well. I was glad to get Tommys
letter to read all through; I had received one of a
later date: it is the 11th of December. He was
well then, and I hope he remains so yet. I sat down
the next day after I received it and wrote him an
answer. I hope that I will get another letter
from him soon.
Mr. Matthews health hasnt improved any yet; he seems
to be rather worse since that cold spell of weather we
had in January. It was so cold we could not keep warm
at the fire, and it dont take much cold to hurt him,
no time. He saw the doctor about a week ago and he
told him he must blister the back of his neck three
times just as fast as one got well put on another, and
then let him know what effect it had. I put on the
second blister today, but he says he dont feel like
it is going to do any good. The doctor says when the
weather gets warmer he will fix him up some medicine,
but he dont want to give it to him when the weather
is cold. The rest of us are well at the present, and
hpe when these few lines reach you they will find you
all enjoying good health.
I have no news of importance to write to you all, for
if I write about the neighbors, you dont know them
and it dont do you any good to hear about them, and
there isno news agoing but war news and you know as
much about that as I do.
They are making up companies here now of seventeen
year old boys to do state service. They have one
company made up of the boys around in this
neighborhood I belived, and I heard today that they
are trying to make up another. They want Billey to go
but he isnt old enough yet and he had as well stay at
home until he gets old enough, but he has grown so
large that we are expecting the conscripts to take him
up, but they could not keep him, but it would cause
his pa some trouble to get him off again. I am afraid
Mr. Matthews will have to go yet. There were men out a
week or so ago taking all from 45 to 50 for state
service also, but they never came here; the neighbors
all know that he is not able to go and I hope they
wont pester him. If he should have to go I do not
know what I will do, for I do not know how I will stay
by myself. He could get a discharge I know but it
might be when it would be too late.
You speak about negroes stealing out there, but there
are some white people here that are as bad as negroes.
They came to our potatoe pit one night last week and
stole potatoes, and then came to the house and wanted
Billey to go a hunting with them, but we didnt know
they had taken potatoes till next morning (when we saw
their tracks and missed the potatoes).
I think mas dress is very pretty. I expect to make my
next dress like it, and I want to know what you dyed
the black with and how much, I must double and twist
for eight yards. I told Mr. Matthews that I believed
that I wouldnt show this piece to any one, for if I
did it would be like the other pieces - some one would
have a dress like it before I could get mine spun.
Potatoe seeds is going to be right scarce here. So
many of them have frozen and rotted. We had seventeen
bushels of Spanish potatoes put up for seed, and we
threw every one of them ou the other day, just as
rotten as they could be. Our pit of eating potatoes
are rotting very fast. They are all yams. We have a
pit of yams put up for seed also. We think maybe we
will save seed out of it. A good many of our Irish
potatoes froze also but we have enough yet for our
seed and some to sell. They are selling at ten
dollars per bushel. Wheat crops are badly injured from
the freeze. The big white wheat is all killed and the
little red Alabama wheat is injured. Mr. Matthews is
busy sowing his over now, but hasnt enough seed to
sow it all over. I havent commenced gardening yet but
I will next week if nothing happens.
When Mat comes home she must write me all the news
from Uncle Jimmys and Cousin Millers and what Cousin
Martha calls her children. Tell Kitty and Agnes to
write to me; kiss them for me when you see them and
tell them I want to see them very badly. I want to see
you all badly, badly. I think if I could see my good
old ma how I would hug and kiss her all over. The
more I think about you the more I want to see you. I
am afreaid the Yankees will get here yet, and then I
cant even hear from you. They are at Jackson,
Mississippi again and Canton also. Canton is this side
of Jackson and they say that there is nothing to
hinder them from coming here.
Give my love to Margaret McGaw and tell her to write
to me. All join me in love to you all. I hope we will
meet again, so I bid you farewell for this time.
M. J. Matthews
Letter from J. Thomas Fortescue, dated December 27,
1864 when "camped on Jas. Island", to his mother,
thanking her for the Christmas box, etc.
Jas. Island was James Island lying in the Ashley River
just off the town of Charleston S.C. Confederate
forces were on that island, and elsewhere in the
region in defense of Charleston.
Persons mentioned:
Archie McAlister (McAllister)
John Flanigen (Flannigan)
Camped on Jas. Island
December 27, 1864
Dear Mother,
I take my pen in hand this morning to drop you a few
lines to inform you that I have received my box and
was glad of the reception of it for we were living on
corn bread and parched meal coffee and when we go on
picket we only had bread alone and it cold but we have
been relieved of a greater portion of our duty that we
have been doing all summer on the ramparts at night.
We were relieved night before last by the artillery
companies which have been idle all year. Some of the
men think we will only be relieved through this
Christmas but I am afraid they are resting us up for
field service under Gen. Wheller to operate against
Sherman when he begins his operations again but I am
in hopes we will be here as flying troops to go
to any point in case of an attack. The biggest part of
the company has run the blockade and went to town to a
big ball - the Regt. was invited together but dont
think thered be much fun being there from the crowd
that went for them that was sober when they left the
town to get drunk so soon as they could get anything
that would make - come.
Archie McAlister (McAllister?) is complaining very
much with rheumatism and has been lying up for the
last two weeks but the general opinion is that he is
playing off to keep off duty, just like he always did
when he was in the company. I dont believe myself
that there is anything the matter with him; he can
outeat any man I ever seen in my life. He has got
a box belonging to John Flanigen and John is at
Grahamsville and they have about six in the mess with
him and they will soon have it all eat up from
him if he dont soon get back to the company, and I
dont think it wright for them to do so when he is not
here. I think they ought to keep it until he comes
back but that is the way with the world; the man you
think is your friend is the man that cares the least
about you. Any man that would eat up a fellow soldiers
box sent from home will do anything that is not right.
I will close for the prestent.
Your obedient son
J. Thomas Fortescue
Letter dated April 21 (year not given but apparently
1865) with last portion missing, but apparently
written by M. J. Matthews to her sister (name not
given but probably Nancy Elizabeth).
Other names mentioned:
Tommie probably J. Thomas Fortescue, M.J.s brother
Aunt Syntha ?
Aunt Margaret ? possibly McGaw, who had at least one
son
Kitty and Agnes probably Martin as mentioned in
earlier letters Tom Scott ?
Neash Rogers ?
Lucretia ? (Matthews)
Joe ? (Matthews)
Lorren ? gave birth to twins again
Billie Roberson dead
Ezekill (brother of Lucretia)
Pontotoc, Mississippi
April 21 (1865?)
Dear Sister,
I received you letter indue time and was truly glad to
hear from you. I also received one from Tommie at the
same time, which was a great pleasure to me. You dont
know the pleasure it is to me to get letters from my
friends and old native state. We are all about as well
as common. Mr. Matthews health has improved some
since I wrote before. I have had a bad cough for a
week but I think I am getting better of it now. I hope
when these few lines will reach you they will find you
and all of you well and doing well.
You wrote about Aunt Syntha, I was glad to hear form
her as I had heard nothing in so long. Did she not say
what part of Mississippi her daughter lived in nor
which one it was? I would like to visit her if she is
anywhere in reach. I was sorry to hear of Aunt
Margaret being in bad health and her little boy having
his leg broken. I hope he will be able to walk on it
again.
I do wish I could see Kitty and Agnes - tell them they
must write to me. We received a letter form Tom Scott
not long since but he didnt give us much satisfaction
about our business out there yet. Mr. Matthews wrote a
letter to Neash Rogers to know what he will do. We
received a letter from Lucretia and one from Joe also
not long since Joe wrote that Lorren had twins again
but lost one of them, and that Billie Roberson was
dead.
Lucretia said her brother Ezekills boys had met with
misfortune in Ark (ansas) - the militia broke them up;
they destroyed nearly everything the had. I am afraid
we are going to have troublesome times. The radicals
have the upper hand everywhere. They have turned all
the men out of office at Pontotoc, and appointing just
such as they want. I expet nothing else but some of
them will be negroes. There was a man below here not
far whipped a negro woman and there was a company of
fifteen Yankees came down from Corinth to take him.
Mr. Matthews was in town when they came in but did not
know their business at the time, but have learned
since. They say the Yanks got after the man but did
not get him, but threw all his corn out of the
crib and fed away and destroyed as much of it as they
could and broke up all the old setting hens and are
gone back.
Farmers are very backward here on account of so much
rain. They cant get the ground dry long enough at a
time to get much plowing done. It has been raining
about two days every week for a long time, but last
week it rained a great deal more. It was too wet to
plow all week except about half the day one day, and
it rained in the evening and there has been no plowing
done since, and it is thundering and raining now. We
have got nine or ten acres of corn planted but not a
seed of cotton. I want to have a cotton patch this
year.
May 12th - I did not get this letter finished when I
was writing before. We have been so busy trying to get
something done, and couldnt do much either. It rained
two weeks in succession day and night. Could get no
plowing done to do any good, but last week was dry
enough to plow except one day. It rained a big rain
one night and it was too wet to plow the next day, but
we got some cotton planted. Got my patch planted. I am
going to have three or four acres. I want to make two
bales and that will make it if nothing happens to it.
We have five acres more to plant if we can get it
done, but it commenced raining yesterday evening and
rained nearly all night. Too wet to plow today. We
want to have ten acres in cotton if we can get it
planted. Our garden is doing very well considering the
wet weather. Peas and beans are in bloom; beets etc.
look fine. We want to set our cabbage plants and
potatoe slips today. We have old potatoes enough
yet to do us till potatoe time again. We sold a good
many for one dollar per bushel. Mr. Matthews has
bought a fine young mule, three years old; has just
got it broke to plow. My chickens are doing no good. I
have had a good many hatched out but they are all dead
but ten. I have quit setting then - just let them go.
I have finished me two new dresses. I will send you a
sample of them. I think yours very pretty. We are
going to have more rain; it is thundering very
heavily.
(Rest of this letter missing).

In Ralph Griffin Christopher's Will, he mentions that
Buckner Griffin Christopher as his NEPHEW. So whoever
belongs to Buckner Griffin Christopher and Sarah
Cosby, belong in the Nicholas Christopher family
tree.....
Which would also make the Wm.(William) Christopher
that was orphaned with Buckner(brothers we assume), is
also part of the Nicholas Christopher family tree.
This would also most likely make the David Christopher
in 1818 that took guardianship of the two Christopher
boys in Abbeville, John Davis, and James Cobb also
present. To me, this almost shows that David
Christopher is the Christopher that married a daughter
of John Davis, which would make David the father of
John Davis Christopher who is mentioned in the will of
John Davis, Abbeville 1831. This is not etched in
stone, but its the best I can figure.
