The Cherokee Advance [Canton, Ga.] 11 Feb 1887 p 3
Akin To All Cherokee
. . .In the extreme northern portion of Floyd county, between the ranges of two mountains running so nearly together as to form what the dwellers of that settlement call "The Pocket," stands and (sic) old-fashioned, two-roomed log house, with the accustomed open hall between.
A wire railway, with a bucket on wheels, runs down under the bluff, and brings back, from the bubbling spring, the cool mountain elixir of life. Three hundred and sixty acres of moderately fertile land surrounds-and belongs to-the inmates of this mountain home. But this is not where they always lived. . .
After supper, a pine knot thrown into the fire, and general conversation began. The conversation was not in "Betsy Hamilton" dialect, but the subject ran much lik (sic) "Owl Hollow" topics. Thus the suggestion for writing on this subject.
Sister Nancy Winn said to me: "You married Phillip Evans' youngest daughter? I knew Phillip Evans when he was a young man—he married Martha Eveline Davis; they came from Jackson county. I was Nancy McConnell then—James McConnell's daughter. My mother and Daniel Putnam were brother and sister. I'm a double cousin to Mrs. Mary Perkinson. I'm a niece of Mrs. Josh Roberts, and Misses Nannie and Jennie Hammond are my nieces—their mother was my sister. Your wife's aunt Caroline was my mother's first cousin.
"I am a cousin of Bill Worley's wife; her name is Martha. Joe McConnell married two of Dr. Payne's sisters-Nancy and Elizabeth. I've heard Bob Cowart preach many a time—he married me and Mr. Winn. That's long ago!"
Then she said, "Oh, this old reumatism (sic), it pesters me so."
. . .Sister Nancy and Brother John A. Winn are mighty good people, I tell you! Old time folks, they live at home. They love to do good and recollect their kinfolks and the friends of their youth.
