Transcription
Personally appeared before me this 20th day of November 1866, Jane Bugg, who having been duly sworn depose as follows. My name is Jane Bugg, I live in Gallatin Tenn Last November three white men came to my house and coming to the foot of the bed asked for a candle and having got it, lit it. They drew their revolvers and drove myself and my husband, Stephen Bugg, out of the room. They took what candles whiskey &c they wanted, then took us back again into the room and searched us for our money. They got from my husband his watch and about $10.00, they said that unless they got two hundred dollars from him they would kill him. He, Bugg, said he had not, nor could he get $200.00. They then beat us both with their pistols over the head and drove us out of doors. They then, after I going out of the house, beat me over the head with a billet of wood. My husband Stephen Bugg, then ran away when they shot him.
