STATE OF TENNESSEE- JACKSON COUNTY

Proof taken before me, William H. Potts, Clerk and Master of the Gainesboro Court at the home of Thomas J. Rose on the 3rd day of July 1856 in the case of Francis H. Armstrong and others, both parties and solicitors being present.

Amos Kirkpatrick, age about 77 years deposes:

QUESTION: By same, say whether you were acquainted with Nancy Jennings in her lifetime and if so, say what was her maiden name and if she had any brothers and sisters, say how many and give their names if you can and who the females married and how many and where any of them lived when you last heard from them and how long since you heard from any of them.

ANSWER: I was acquainted with Nancy Jennings in her lifetime. Knew her for seventy years. Her maiden name was Campbell. She had one brother by name of Thomas Campbell, older than she. He was married and had a large family and lived in Kentucky when I last heard of him. Nancy was next to Thomas and her sisters were Polly, who married a man by the name of Dyer, who lived in Arkansas when I saw them last. She had eight or ten children and, she was not done having children when I saw her last. Peggy was next. She married a man by the name of Haglin. She had a good many children, can't tell how many. Haglin and wife both died. I don't know where any of their children are. Abigail was next. She married Davis Lincoln. They had children, several. Don't know how many. Complainant Armstrong's wife is one of Lincoln's children. There was one older than Abigail, but she died without children. I hear from Daniel Haglin, one of Peggy's and her husband's sons. Two or three years ago he was living in Illinois. The others I have not heard from in a good many years. I have not heard from Thomas Campbell in thirty or forty years. Another of Nancy Jennings' sisters was named Elizabeth. She married Elisha Saunders, now living in this county. Daniel Haglin married a Stoney. She died and he married her sister. I understand he had children by both. They was a sort of people that did not correspond much.
