Sarah Fowle Telfair Donation to the North Carolina Archives
Margaret White and I found this autograph book a few years ago. I scanned the book, but we were unsure of the origins. With the help of the NC Archives, they identified the document belonging to Sarah Fowle Telfair.

J.R.C. Pocket Watch
I found this pocket watch with my grandmother and we though it was for James Henry Cordon, but the R is mysterious.
"It has to belong to someone in the family!"
It's an Elgin watch with serial number 5893287, which was made in 1895. It seems the inside of the watch was replaced with serial number 24599482, which was made in 1922.
