  Paul, it reads:

  "I had two uncles that shed their hearts Blood in defence of Whig principals
  in the revolution.
  I had another that walked Barefooted through the ice & snow from Camden SC
  to Cobs Ferry on Staunton.
  I had other uncles as well as my Father dared to face death in defence of
  their country & Whig principals"

  Thanks again,

  Marie.
