I am able to remember the names of the first teachers in the Quaker school; J.H. Binford was the principal and his sister taught the primary department. I was about 11 years old when peace came and was living with my mother and the other children on the Badgett plantation about 7 miles east of Little Rock. Mother did laundry and general house work.
She heard about it and went and haven't come home. I jes' got one child." Interviewer: Beulah Sherwood Hagg Person interviewed: Mrs. Charlotte E. Stephens 1420 West 15th Street, Little Rock, Arkansas Age: 83 I was born right here in Little Rock. My father was owned by a splendid family the Ashleys. The family of Noah Badgett owned my mother and the children.
"I heard them say they lived in Crittenden County, Arkansas during the Civil War. They lived in west Tennessee not far from Memphis when I was a child. Mrs. Badgett lived in Memphis after she got old. Mary's mother visited her long as she lived. I did too. She has been dead several years. She give me a sugar bowl when I was twelve years old I still got it. I won't sell it. I'll give it to my girl.

"If there doesn't come Badgett up the hill in all the pour!" Badgett drove the daily stage from Tillington up through Pemunk and Sandon. He came round by Brickfields when there was anybody to bring.
Grandpa was a tall big man. He was a full blood Indian. "My mother called whiskey 'jagger' I don't know why. "After Mr. Redman died, Miss Mary married Mr. Badgett. Me and George and Sissy all growed up together. My mother was married twice too. She had two of us by her first husband and eight children by her last husband.
