I also was sent this, but no notations as to where it came from originally:

Sally Clor to Birrum Ferrill Sumner Co., TN 15 March 1808. A note says Bynum Ferrill's wife (name is given as Mary) may be a sister of Johnnie Cloar of Obion Co., TN. but no idea where we came up with that piece of information.
