Anderson, I have heard ofyour letter coming to some of your old acquaintance and I have received nota word, as you promised to write me. I think long of the time and cannotwait - so I am anxious to hear from you and your country. I want you to write and answer all of my questions, and I will commence.I want to know what kind of land you haveand what it is counted at, whatkind of timber, water - whether spring or well, whether it is aguerish(aguish?) or not. I want to know whether it is level or broken. I want toknow whether there is water streams for millsand machinery, or not.I want to know about the grains of all kinds, all abou tthe serpents orreptiles. I want to know what kind of team a man had better move, providedhe was to undertake to move and how long it would take the team to make the trip, and what it will take.I want to know what is the principal products of your country, whether itwill produce all kinds of vegetables or not, such as Irish and sweetpotatoes, cabbage, beans, beets, lettuce, onions, mush, and watermellons,cucumbers, pumpkins, also corn, wheat, rye, and oats and how much to the acre; and the kind of friends.I wish to know whether you have the gospel preached or not and whatdenomination is most common and if good schools.

Tell me whether you have any ticks or not. Give me the price of all kinds of stock.Now I will say something of the times here. I will say they are hard. Thereis money, there is no stock a selling at these times, what few fat cattle wehave the prospects is that the people will have to winter them; if thepeople could sell their stock there is a good many families that would leave this county, and me, for one.I think land will sell before spring as there is a great excitement a movingthe people about the railroad through this section. They are now locating the road and land is running up.I will close my letter by requesting a quick answer and signing my name.</p><p>Yours as ever, C.C. Reed I was looking at obituaries and death notices from 1850 to (I can'tremember) when I ran across the name of Anderson S. Lewallen in the index.This struck me as odd since we know he died in Texas. He was mentioned inthe article regarding the death of Daniel Pennington. It seems in 1872Pennington was shot at by a man named Slavin while sitting in his home hecame out and returned fire when he was shot and killed by an unknownassailant. Anderson S. Lewellen upon his return to the county, accompaniedby his brother-in-law Elihue McDonald was arrested for the murder. It wassubsequently found by thecourt that he was not involved. It may however shed light on why the Lewellens moved to Texas</p><p>Lewellen Cemetery location:LewAllen (LewEllen) Cemetery is located northeast of Troy, Bell County, Texas.From I-35, exit at Troy and go through the town (right). Take aleft on Shiloh Road, and then right on East Big Elm Road. Go left atLewEllen Cemetery Road. This road becomes dirt, and veers right up the hill. The cemetery is on the hill.</p><p>More About ANDERSON S. "CASH-UP" LEWALLEN: 1: 1912, Estate was valued at over $32, 000.00.6 Burial: Hillcrest Cemetery, Temple, Bell County, Texas</p><p>More About SALLIE JANE BOYCE: Burial: Hillcrest Cemetery, Temple, Bell County, Texas</p><p>Knoxville Daily Chronicle, Sunday 14th July 1872, Vol. III, # 50Anderson "Cash Up" Lewellen Accused of Murder. (Jean L B Brand - Apr 15, 2002)</p>Pennington, Daniel. "A Man Killed In Scott County." On the evening of the 10th, Meshack Slaven and Daniel Pennington, brothers in laws and near neighbors, had a personal difficulty. Slaven came up to Pennington's house and rested his rifle upon the fence and fired upon Pennington in his own home, but without effect. Pennington returned the fire with a pistol, the ball taking effect in Slaven's shoulder; whereupon Slaven fled. Pennington walked out a short distance from his home and set in the bushes, and few minutes later he was shot by someone, supposed to be the brother of Mr. Slaven, who was near by when the difficulty occurred. Pennington died the next day. The same article appeared in the Knoxville Weekly Chronicle, Wed, 17th, July 1872, Vol III, # 16, pg. 5 In July 1872 a man by the name of Dan Pennington was killed in the Third District of this county. A bill was found by the Grand Jury against Steward Slaven, who left the immediately after Pennington was killed. In a year or so, Anderson Lewallen, who was then living in that part of the county, moved to Texas. Last month Mr. Lewallen, in company with his brother in law, Elihu McDonald, came to this county. After they had been here some time Lewallen was arrested, accused of murdering or helping to murder Dan Pennington. Monday the 20, the case was called, Esqrs. Sharp and Griffith presiding. Both sides announced ready for trial. A number of witnesses testified. Among them was the then wife of Dan Pennington, who said she was a sister to Steward Slaven and that he was the man who killed her husband. Before her husband died he told her he saw Steward Slaven run after he (Pennington) was shot, and knew him. Other witnesses testified that before, or as Steward Slaven was leaving the country he said they need not bother his brother for he (Steward) killed Dan Pennington. Mr. Lewallen testified with a good countenance that he had nothing to do with the killing of Dan Pennington, that he staid in that country for a year after the killing and was never accused of it. It was very clear that Lewallen was innocent. The deision of the Court was "not guilty as charged inthe warrant." The prosecution must be satisfied, after hearing the evidence, that Lewallen was wrongfully accused. Scott County Call, 24th June 1887, Helenwood, TN, Vol. 1, # 14.
