	“I was born at Thick Hill, Mississippi. There was three of us children, AU dead now but me. My parents was Molly Louden and Jake Porter, • One master my parents talked about wa5 Mi8318 Molly and Dr. MeCaskill. I don‘t think xuy mother was mixed with Indian. Her father wa~ a white man, but my father said he wa~ Indian and African. My father wa~ In the Civil VVar~

	~ “When the war was coming on they had the servants dig holes, then put rock on bottom, then planks, then put tin and iron vessels with money and silver, then put plank, then rooks and cover with dirt and. plant grass on top. Water it to make it grow. They planted it late in the evening. I don‘t know what become of it. •

	“Then I was eight or nine years old I went to a tent si~j~w with Sain and Hun, my brothers. We was under the tents looking at a little Giraffe; a elephant come up behind me and. touched me with its snout. I jumped back and ran under it between its legs. That night they found me a mile from the tents asleep under some brush. They woke me up bunting me with pine knot torches. I had cried myself to sleep. The show was “Dan Rice and Coles Circus“ at Dednen, Mississippi. Theywasn‘t as much afraid of snakes as wild hogs, wolves and bears.
