Transcription Notes:
***Short Creek Yazoo County Miss - you can see the "r" in it, too., mentioned on several pages previously, involving the agent F.P. Hilliard. This is an actual Creek found on the map of Miss., and a Cemetery, and a road named Short Creek Rd, in Yazoo Co. Here it looks like Shert Creek, but I know it is Short Creek.
Osnaburg and Linsey are fabrics for making their clothing.
