    When you arrive at an age to reflect - you doubtless will want to know who your ancestors were...I now propose to write for your gratification all that I can now recall from having heard my mother yr great grandmother say about them.

    History gives the date of the arrival of the Huganots in America. They fled from France to this country for protection on account of religious persecution. Among them was three brothers Flournoy by name - One of them became my ?grandmothers father. His daughter Hannah married Col. Wooldridge of Orange co. Va. Her daughter Nancy married John Robinson Young of Woodford Co, KY, her daughter Mary married Erasmus Gill McGinnis of Mercer co, Ky, her daughter Julia married Thomas Collins a native of Ireland, her daughter Fanny married Harry Harlis Hughes of Waynesburg (sp?), Pa. yr own father, is the direct line descent on yr maternal ? mothers side - Lewis Young of Va. married a full cousin to Henry Clay his son John was my grandfather.

    My grandfather Thos McGinnis came to Ky from Maryland about the year 1779 and went into fort near Harrodsburg, Ky he had many battles with the Indians - He obtained land in Mercer Co a few years later and settled upon it There my father, G. G. McGinnis was born being the youngest child, he was the father of yr grandmother Julia Collins. This much about finishes the direct line of descent on both sides.

    I will now narrate what has occurred in the last fifty years, almost within my recollection. Yr great grandparents Erasmus and Mary were married in New Albany, Ind in 182?. She was chozen by her classmates to strew flowers in General LaFayettes pathway upon his return to the United States - For this purpose an elegant white silk embroidered in rose buds was purchased in Philadelphia, in this dress she yielded to the ? of her lover and fled with him to New Albany, Ind against the wishes of her Uncle and was there married - they resided in Versailles until 1835 when they moved to Louisville, he engaging in the manufacture of rope on 7th Street near Broadway - Of this union eleven children were born, three dying in infancy - George W (M?) married Mary Jane Wood after the war was over Sarah married William Holeman of Frankfort, Ky they have two living children Geor4ge and Jissie (sp?) - Fanny died at the age of 18 of consumption -

    Mary was twice married, in 1856 to Frank J Wood of (Min, Wis ??) in 1874 to Thomas Collins then living in Mt Vernon Ind running a democratic newspaper call "The Democrat". ? William died at the age of 18 with consumption (???and is buried in Cave Hill) Clifton never married and died at the age of 58 in the Soldiers Home at Hampton , Va - next comes your grandmother Julia, she had three daughters Fanny, Georgia and Almyra who died in infancy. Jullia died in Mt Vernon, Ind in 1872 and is buried there with her babe. I was with her at the time of her death and afterwards married her husband who died in Louisville of lung trouble at 1008 - 6th St and is buried in Cave Hill

    His daughter Fanny was married at the Methodist parsonage on 6th street in Dec. 1888 by Rev. (??) of that denomination The7y now have three children of whom you are the oldest - Harlis and Steele by name. Mary Georgetta Collins was married to Issac Steele in Jeffersonville, without the knowledge or consent of her father, but with her mothers approbation At this writing she has one son, John Dawson aged 4 years - They live in Hustonville, Ky where Mr. Steele has a general store.

    My grandfather Thos McGinnis came to Ky from Maryland about the year 1779 and went into fort near Harrodsburg, Ky he had many battles with the Indians - He obtained land in Mercer Co a few years later and settled upon it There my father, G. G. McGinnis was born being the youngest child, he was the father of yr grandmother Julia Collins. This much about finishes the direct line of descent on both sides.

    I will now narrate what has occurred in the last fifty years, almost within my recollection. Yr great grandparents Erasmus and Mary were married in New Albany, Ind in 182?. She was chozen by her classmates to strew flowers in General LaFayettes pathway upon his return to the United States - For this purpose an elegant white silk embroidered in rose buds was purchased in Philadelphia, in this dress she yielded to the ? of her lover and fled with him to New Albany, Ind against the wishes of her Uncle and was there married - they resided in Versailles until 1835 when they moved to Louisville, he engaging in the manufacture of rope on 7th Street near Broadway - Of this union eleven children were born, three dying in infancy - George W (M?) married Mary Jane Wood after the war was over Sarah married William Holeman of Frankfort, Ky they have two living children Geor4ge and Jissie (sp?) - Fanny died at the age of 18 of consumption -

    Mary was twice married, in 1856 to Frank J Wood of (Min, Wis ??) in 1874 to Thomas Collins then living in Mt Vernon Ind running a democratic newspaper call "The Democrat". ? William died at the age of 18 with consumption (???and is buried in Cave Hill) Clifton never married and died at the age of 58 in the Soldiers Home at Hampton , Va - next comes your grandmother Julia, she had three daughters Fanny, Georgia and Almyra who died in infancy. Jullia died in Mt Vernon, Ind in 1872 and is buried there with her babe. I was with her at the time of her death and afterwards married her husband who died in Louisville of lung trouble at 1008 - 6th St and is buried in Cave Hill

    His daughter Fanny was married at the Methodist parsonage on 6th street in Dec. 1888 by Rev. (??) of that denomination The7y now have three children of whom you are the oldest - Harlis and Steele by name. Mary Georgetta Collins was married to Issac Steele in Jeffersonville, without the knowledge or consent of her father, but with her mothers approbation At this writing she has one son, John Dawson aged 4 years - They live in Hustonville, Ky where Mr. Steele has a general store.

    Stationary says Louisville, Ky .......1893. Letter was written by Mary McGinnis Wood Collins.
