The State of TEXAS, County of Sabine

Statement of Mrs. Sarah A. Harvey, made at her home in Sabine County, TEXAS
on the 24 day of Jan.A. D. 1913.

My name is Sarah A. Harvey. I was born on the 16th day of January A.D. 1826,
near the town of Florence, in the State of Alabama. I am the daughter of Jesse T.Scruggs
and Susan Thornton Scruggs. My father and mother moved from the State of Alabama,
to Sabine County, Texas, about the year 1836, and settled when we first came to Texas,
near Milam, and resided there about one year. We then moved to Hamilton on the Sabine
River, and lived there not quite one year, and moved fron there and settled on the
McAdams tract or land in Sabine county, and lived there a great many years. I was
married while living on that tract of land to Robert Harvey on August, 10th
1854, and after my marriage; my husband and I moved to the place I now reside on,
where I have lived ever since then, and this place I now reside is about two and
one half miles from the John McAdams tract of land. I knew Lawrence McGuire and his
family for many years. When my father and mother came to Texas about 1836, Lawrence
McGuire, and his family came with them, and all settled in Sabine County. Hambleton
McGuire, so I was told by Lawrence McGuire, came to Texas about one year before we
did, and we found him in Sabine County when we arrived there.

Lawrence McGuire's family when we moved to Texas consisted of his wife, a son
named Hambleton B. McGuire, and two daughters: one named Mary, the other named Arabella.
Lawrence McGuire was married one time, and by his said wife he had the above children.
My mother was Susan Thornton Scruggs, died after we came to Texas, and my father,
Jesse T.Scruggs, married Mary McGuire one of the two sisters of Hambleton McGuire.
My husband, Robert Harvey, had been married once before I married him, and his first
wife was Arabella McGuire, a sister of Hambleton McGuire, and a daughter of Lawrence
McGuire, as above stated.

Lawrence McGuire died in Sabine County, Texas, about year A.D. 1855, and he was
buried in the McGuire burial ground on the John McAdams survey in Sabine County.;
his first wife died prior to his death, and is buried in the same burial ground near
him. At the time of his death, Lawrence McGurie left surviving him; his son, Hambleton
B. NcGuire, who was a practicing physician; and his daughter Mary McGuire, who married
my father; and the children of Arabella, who was my husbands first wife, who was the
daughter of Lawrence McGuire as above stated. Hy husband, Robert Harvey, as the guardian
of his children by Arabella McGuire, his first wife.

Lawrence McGuire, at the time of his death was the Owner of a one-half interest
in a tract of about twelve hundred and eighty acres (128O), a part of the John McAdams
survey, in Sabine County, which he purchased, together with his son, Hambleton McGuire;
from John McAdams about the year 1848. He also owned some negroes, and had some money.
After his death, a division was made of his estate among his heirs, and Hambleton
McGuire was given as his part of the estate the interest owned by Lawrence McGuire
in the John McAdams survey in Sabine County, Texas; Mary Scruggs, nee McGuire, my
step-mother, received two negroes as her portion of the estate, and
the children of Arabella Harvey, nee McGuire, received cash as their portion of the
estate, and this money was paid to my husband Robert Harvey, who was guardian of said
children, and their father.

Hambleton McGuire after he received as his portion of the estate owned by his father
in the John McAdams survey, sold the land about the year 1861 to J. H. Burroughs.
Hambleton B. McGuire was frequently at our house, and was there just prior to the
time he sold his land to J.M. Burroughs, and was talking with my father, and he stated
to him that he was going to sell the land to said Burroughs. He was there a short
while after this, and stated that he had sold all the John McAdams survey to J. M.
Borroughs, and that he had also sold said Borroughs a Negro woman named Hannah.

J. M. Burroughs at that time was living on a tract of land adjoining the John
McAdams survey, and after the purchase of the John McAdams tract from Hambleton McGuire,
as stated above, he cultivated a large portion of the said McAdams survey, and had it
cultivated for about forty years, and at all times claimed it as his own. J.M. Burroughs
was an attorney at law, and Was ummarried.

This statement is made in the prescence of T. G. Minton, who signs my name hereto
at my request for the reason that on account of extreme age, 1 am unable to write,
and also in the presence of Docia Harvey, wife of Perkins Harvey, and in the presence
of W.C.Ramsey.

Witness my hand at home, on this day 24th of June A.D. 1913.
