Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves, Arkansas Narratives V6

My wife didn’t have many people. She knows her mother, her mother’s mistress, and all. Her ma was named Martha Henson. That was her married name. Her mistress’ last name was Stribling. Martha Henson was a well-treated slave. The Striblings lived in Rockport, Arkansas, but their native home was Georgia. I don’t know where the Striblings are now. The old man died before the Civil War broke out. I guess they are all dead and in torment. My wife’s grandmother and grandfather on her mother’s side were gone so far back that neither she nor I know anything about them.
