"The maiden name of my mother's mother was Sarah Martin. She was married three times. Her first husband was Pound, her second Stilgar, and the third was my grandfather William Kester. My Mother was born in Maryland October 4, 1773. She came down the Ohio River on a flatboat and landed at a place called Limestone (now Maysville). From there they were escorted by a company of men to Bryan's Station, near Lexington, and from there moved to Coxe's station. Here she raised cotton, carded it by hand cards, spun and wove it and made her wedding dress of it and afterwards loaned it to others to be married in.”
