James E. Saunders, Esq., Courtland, Ala.:
DEAR SIR--Your favor of the 26th inst. was handed me last night and took me somewhat by surprise, as I thought that all the Fontaines of the South
knew that I was the oldest Fontaine of the numerous branches, geneologically speaking, now extant since the death of my father. Edward Fontaine, L. L.
D. and D. D. & C. I am one of the Fontaines set down on the Fontaine chart. On the American chart descended as follows: John Fontaine X Martha
Henry, eldest daughter of Patrick Henry, of Virginia; Patrick H. Fontaine (eldest son of John Fontaine and Martha Henry) X Nancy Dabney Miller, Edward
Fontaine (eldest son of Patrick Henry Fontaine and Nancy Dabney Miller) X Ann Swisher (nee Mary), eldest son is myself; and I was born in Texas (10th
October, 1829, one of the first male births in Stephen .F. Austin's colony in that State) before it was a republic. I married Lemnella S. Brickell, of
Yazoo county, Miss. My eldest child is Henry Bourquoine Brickell F.; second, Jeanie Wilson; third, Edward L.; fourth, Mary Agnes; fifth, James
Francis; sixth, Annie Gale; seventh, Lemnella Moore; eighth, Lamar, Jr. My youngest is now six years old and my eldest will soon reach his majority. I
am a surveyor and civil engineer by profession.
During the war I served under Lee, Jackson, Beauregard, Bragg and Joseph E. Johnston. My last commander was P. D. Roddy, of North Alabama, and I
was once in command of Tuscumbia, Ala.
Very respectfully yours,
LAMAR FONTAINE.
