AI Notes
Printed letterhead reading ‘LIME SPRING PLANTATION / EUTAWVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA’ at the top center. Below, in blue ink cursive, a heading ‘Their children.’ with two columns labeled ‘born’ and ‘died,’ listing six children with birth and (where given) death dates. Five of the six names — all except John Stoney — have a small check mark beside them. A short personal note in the same hand follows below.
The six children listed are those of Christopher FitzSimons (2nd) (1802–1832) and Elizabeth Porcher Stoney (1806–1873) — the same sibling group recorded in the family memorandum on page 003. The “Christopher” born 29 Jan 1826 is Dr. Christopher FitzSimons (3rd), the compiler Amy FitzSimons Walker’s grandfather; “Peter Gaillard” (Gillie) is the writer’s own great-grandfather, marking this note as one cousin orienting another across the FitzSimons line. Lime Spring is a 20th-century letterhead; the list itself was probably copied at Eutawville from an older family source.
