How many wives and children Thomas Janney had is not definitely known. In his Will only five children are mentioned by name, one clause simply leaving the residue "emongs all my children." His two marriages Dec. 7, 1578,10 to Jane Worthington, who was bur. Aug. 10, 1589, and by whom he had four children; and Nov. 4, 1590, to Katherine Cash, of Styall, who survived him, and by whom he had six children, are fully established; but whether he was married prior to 1578, is not certain. An entry in Wilmslow Parish Register reads "1570 Nov. 7, was cristened Aylce Janney daughter of Thos. Janney," and if she was the dau. of this Thomas, he was married three times, his first wife being Ellen, who was bur. Feby 7, 1578. As all the other entries concerning Thomas Janney, in these Registers, about this time, appear to refer to him, this entry very possibly does also, but as it is not certain that it does, Alyce will not be stated to have been one of his children, who were as follows

Children11 (by 2 wives, Jane Nos 1-4; Katherine Nos. 5-10):

II. 1. Randle, bapt. Feby 23, 1579-80, bur. Oct. 30, 1613, m. July 14, 1602 Ellen Abrodd. He is mentioned in his father's will.

2. Margery, bapt. March 31, 1582. She probably is the "Margaret Janye of Styall" who was bur. Mch 23, 1591. 3. Henerie, bapt. March 7, 1584; mentioned in his father's will.

4. Maude, bapt. April 25, 1587, m. May 1, 1605 William Sidebotham. She is mentioned in her father's will.

5. Thomas, bapt. Jany 15, 1591, bur. Feby 6, 1591. 6. Margaret, bapt. July 4, 1593, mentioned in her father's will. It is uncertain whether Thomas Hunte married July

8. Thomas, bapt. June 29, 1597.

9. Margerie, bapt. Sept. 24, 1599. Margaret and Mar gerie are each described in baptismal records as "daughter of Thomas Janney of Styall," and as Maude, Margaret and Anne are mentioned in their father's Will of 1601 as recipients of a legacy from his deceased father, it would appear that Margaret and Margerie were not synonyms, and that sisters bore these two names.

A SOUTHERN TRAVELER'S DIARY IN 1840.

BY WILLIAM H. WILLS.

(Concluded in This Number.)

ACQUAINTANCES: COLUMBUS.

Thursday 23rd. This morning I felt somewhat better, but still very sore. I met in Town with some more acquaintances, which are by no means scarce in the South. Columbus is very pleasantly situated on the Tombigbee river and has been a place of much business, but like almost all Towns in Miss: it grew too fast and is now groaning beneath an enormous weight which is destined to break her down and ruin her people. The place is now very dull, few goods in the place and fewer being sold. Lowndes County is nearly as bad off as Hinds and Madison and Columbus destined to sink very low. It is certainly a gloomy prospect and calculated to depress the spirits to witness the revulsions and changes from high prosperity to deep adversity. It is a change however which every community must experience when they permit themselves to be carried away by such gross extravagance and wild speculation that the Southern Country has been guilty of for the last three or four years.

TOMBIGBEE BOAT: MOSQUITOES.

The forenoon of the day I spent in writing home, and had just concluded & sealed a letter for Aunt Cotten when a Messenger informed me of the arrival of a Steam Boat going down the river. Hurry, hurry, pack up and a preparation to make another move I trust a more pleasant one than the last. At four o'clock p. m. I was on board the Lalla rookh, and the sharp sound of her high pressure engine again saluted my ears and in a few minutes once more under way,

puff, puff, puff.—I was fortunate in getting on a boat which I subsequently understood to be one of the best on the river. I succeeded in getting a good birth and pleasantly located. During our passage down we found the Mosquitoes very troublesome and but for bars with which my birth was provided, could not have slept, these however protected me and I slept comfortably: our boat having a good deal of freight to take on, delayed a good deal and moved very slowly. The river being so narrow also prevented her from running after dark and having to lie by, we were very much annoyed by Mosquitoes. My remedy against them was to go to bed and having an upper birth the air was quite pleasant.. After a slow and tedious time down the river stopping at a good many landings to take in Cotten, we finally reached Warsaw

WARSAW: OLD ACQUAINTANCES.

Saturday morning about 9 o'clock. This is the landing place & Jameston is situated half a mile farther. both are small & poor places, not much business doing in either. I landed here to spend a few days with a parcel of old acquaintances from No. Ca. and who reside in this vicinity. I here met with Silas Wilkinson & P. S. Cromwell both from No. Ca. the latter of whom was a school Mate of mine & has recently become a Member of the Baptist Church. He has always been very wild & the change is a salutary one. By his assistance I was soon provided a horse, and found myself at 12 o'clock at his house 3 ms. from Jameston. Delaying a few minutes I went over to Dr. Horns. Here I am once more beneath the roof of a family where I have so often found a welcome, and have cause to believe that the former friendship manifested has not abated. I was welcomed with a sincerity which assured me that seven years have not effaced from the minds of each other the recollections & from our hearts the feelings that once influenced

us, while I was an Itinerant Wanderer in the old North State. Sister Horn was among my favorites at home and I believe the partiality was reciprocated. None should have been more glad to see, and she welcomed me with sincerity.

RELIGIOUS CONDITION.

This neighborhood is Edgecombe County again, only it has been revised and much improved. Indeed a mighty change has come over the moral prospects of this people. Here are Wm. Seth, Gray & Blake Little once as wild and reckless as any Men, their wives B. & H. Turner, the Stantons and many others all religious and members of the M. P. Church. A few years ago this Church was organised in a private house by 12 Members, it now numbers more than 120 beside colored. There is scarcely an individual in the whole neighborhood irreligious, and what is equally gratifying I understand the most of them adorn the doctrine of Christ in their walk & conversation.-Dr. Horn who was very cold after coming to Ala. is now as lively as is to be found, and labours much in his neighborhood. I regret finding Sister Horn quite sick. Her health has been delicate for years & I fear she may not long live.

Sunday 26th. There was preaching at the Baptist Church one mile from Dr. Hornes where they have about 50 members and who belong to the liberal or Missionary order. I find this subject has been agitated here and as in No. Ca. caused divisions. The old order like all I have ever yet seen are dull cold Antinomians. I never heard of their doing good and never expect to. I found a large congregation, and two Ministers in attendance. Being introduced, I was invited into the pulpit and to preach, but declining, the
