    ... In 1879 I received a letter from Mrs. Caroline E. Eubank, the wife of my cousin, Captain Elias Kewman Eubank, then living in Lynchburg, in which she enclosed to me a verbatim copy of a memorandum which Miss Louisa Davis (at that time the only surviving child of the venerable William Davis, commonly called "Fried Davis") had furnished her. ...

    ... This is a transcript of the paper I received :
    ... "Kitty Giszage married a Poindexter, and had eight children - 5 sons and 3 daughters. She was own sister to Ralph Shelton."

    It should be observed, however, that if (as we presume) Kitty Giszage was the daughter of Richard Giszage (Mr. Powell's article, page 124), then she was only half sister to Ralph Shelton. ...
