My great grandfather and his nurse. She is on the plantation inventory in 1857 with husband Charles. Her name was Pleasant. She and Charles and another man named Skinner were willed to my great great great grandfather's first wife by the wife's father, Thomas Welch of Dallas County, Alabama who died in 1832. She and Charles lived to be free and are listed as husband and wife on the 1870 census.

ReplyDeleteAlso love the pitcher and the plates , my kind of dishes
Now is this your house or shop?
Hi. I always appreciate your comments, as I don't get many! These are all of my house. Mammy Pleasant is on the 1857 plantation inventory. She took the family name and lived to be a very old woman after freedom came.
DeleteHa there. You have been busy. I am in the process of closing my shop and renting several booths in a local mall. No more responsibility, utility bills or working 7 days a week. Hope it works. I love all your treasures. I am afraid you might need a second or third house, or build on. Ain't it fun. Janice up above me is a friend of mine and my blog. Hope it is not as hot there as it is here. Awful for moving weather.
ReplyDeleteLoved the Mammy Pleasant picture too. The night picture was a favorite, and I think you have a lot of wonderful goodies to enjoy. It is so much fun isn't it, to collect.
