trying to get 1840 acres. Their if 1 male my

wife 3 lovely kids and 5 great slaves. The land

payment is $73.60 .

1822

• We had a harsh my little boy got a terrible

cold. All my cattle died and the lively was so

nobody got there supplies.

1822• Its time for my first investment I spent $600

200 on cotton 200 on lumber and 200 on

cattle. Cotton and cattle did not do so good

but lumber was awesome.

1823

• The lively sank today in a terrible accident.

The Mexicans over export of cotton did not

give us any but a good year for cattle.

1823• It’s the 2nd year for a investment. I paid $1,200

$400 on cotton $400 on cattle and $400 on

lumber.

In 1824 the colonies thrived through the

year with high demands of lumber. It had

a bumper cotton crop.

1824• For my last investment I put $1,575 on crops.

$575 on cotton because we needed some

$500 for lumber and $500 for cattle.

We will not go back when we are doing so

good I love it here and so does my family.

investments and in the end we still have

$2,100 left over.
