Gatewood bought him from a Mr.Sibly, who was going to send him down the river.

Walton, to my knowledge, influenced Gatewood to buy him, and promised if he would, never to disobey him or run off.

Who he belongs to now, I do not know.

I know Gatewood sold his wife and child at a great sacrifice, to satisfy him.

If any other information is necessary I will give it, if required.
