But, the house was filthy and a wreck. So, she assigned chores for us to do. I cleaned a quarter inch of dog hair and filth off the table, side boards and everything else in the room--chairs and pictures. The later arriving people never knew what they missed.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-51336831757072771002014-07-28T00:51:37.516-05:002014-07-28T00:51:37.516-05:00I had no idea who she was with her maiden or the l...I had no idea who she was with her maiden or the last name of her first husband.

That was common for officers' wives to do in those days. After the War George freed all his slaves, but Martha's property was her own.
