This affidavit mainly discusses Louisa's financial struggles following the death of Philander, though the handwriting is difficult to decipher. (Note: This document is undated, but it was produced somewhere between 1891 or 1892. No records can be found on D. M. Bryan, but George W. Davidson is well documented. His birthdate of June 19, 1834, would make him 57 years old--the age he lists on this document--from June 19, 1891, to June 19, 1892. Furthermore, the document mentions Louisa's relocation to Richmond, which city directories indicate took place in 1891).
