I was postponed--postponed to Missouri.

Missouri was an unknown new State and needed attractions.
I think that my eldest brother, Orion, my sisters Pamela and Margaret, and my brother Benjamin were born in Jamestown.

There may have been others, but as to that I am not sure.

It was a great lift for that little village to have my parents come there.

It was hoped that they would stay, so that it would become a city.
