Mr. Goodrich Giles. His father was a
member of the Colony. His mother belonged to another planter in
Virginia & did not get to go.

Mr. Giles is without any question a Negro. He farms & has
succeeded at it. He owns 425 acres of land just out from Piqua
not an acre of which is said to be worth less than one hundred
dollars. He lives in a good roomy brick house, has good farm
buildings, is supplied with farming implements and though old is
still active--leading in his work.

His crop this year consists of about,

4500 bus. Corn 500 bus. Oats

1400 bus. Wheat

100 tons Hay with potatoes & other crops in smaller quantity but
enough to do him.

He raises most of his meat. Has twelve horses & fifteen cows.

He is a good churchman, attends, counsels and pays. Believes in
lodges & helps them too. His city property is said to be worth
from $15,000 to $20,000. His obligations he says are very slight,
well within his ability to handle. The best citizens of the
community are loud in praise of him.

Mr. Fountain Randolph went up with the colony a boy. He is not
very active now & has not prospered as Giles has, but lives in
his own house of brick with four rooms I think, and is still
respected by the community. He & Giles lead in trying to keep the
descendents of the colony together & in the effort to get the
land which it is claimed was bought for them.

Randolph still lives in Piqua. A son of his, John S. Randolph was
born there, educated in the city schools, and was called to
Macon, Ga. several years ago to teach in the schools there, is
reported to have done well, established a school at Montezuma,
Ga. known as Bennett University. I have not had chance to look
him up or his work.

A Miss Anna Jones born at Troy, O. is a descendent who has been
prominent as teacher I was told. Mr. Fountain Randolph said she
now lives & teaches at Wilberforce as Mrs. Coleman. I wrote Prof.
Scarborough about her but have not heard from him.

Mr. Robert Gordon living at Troy is prospering in business and is
greatly helped--says Mr. Randolph, by his wife who is one of the
descendants.

Mr. Samuel White at Troy is a prosperous farmer owning his farm &
is a successful Tobacco grower. He is a descendent.

Mr. Cash Evans is a prosperous
