Before me personally appeared the undersigned Annie Boyd and being duly Sworn deposes as follows.

My name is Annie Boyd. I live in the City of Memphis Tenn. On the night of the 2nd of May 1866 a party of persons came to my house and ran me and my two sick children away. Said they were going to burn up every "damned nigger shanty" there was around there. They burned up mine and everything that was in it. I left my pocket book there which contained $20.00 in greenbacks which was burned or taken away. The Loss would amount to $450.00
