William Johnson was born a slave in the year 1809 but was freed by his owner, probably his father in 1820. His owner had earlier released William’s sister and mother. William Johnson upon being freed became a barber apprentice in Natchez town. William’s brother-in-law had a barbershop which he took over in 1830 and later on got married to Amy Battles. They had eleven children. Amy was a free person and just like William was black (National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007). William Johnson went on to operate several barbershops, owned land, and rented buildings. He also had a bathhouse and regularly loaned white and black people money which was paid at an interest. Like other free blacks in the South, William Johnson owned slaves and at times sold them too.

William was murdered by a free black man, Baylor Winn, with whom they had a boundary conflict. Despite his murderer being identified, he escaped prosecution since according to his evidence, he was a white man, and so no black man could testify against him (Humanities Center Resource Toolbox, 2007).

Taking Coricidin, a cold syrup used to suppress common colds, to fall asleep, Phelps had consumed “more medicine than [he] should have” which had caused a cough-syrup-induced psychosis.

Charlie Evan was born in New Orleans on July 1, 1985 to Lawrence and Isabella Dalca. His father was the owner of a successful boxing gym located in the Quarter and his mother worked as a part-time waitress at a small diner. At the time of Charlie's birth, the Dalca parents were having marital issues and Isabella was quite firm in her want to leave NOLA and return to New York where she herself had been raised and where her family still remained.

The person I am doing for my essay is Wesley Isenhour (my dad). He has a wife named Liane and two kids named Macy and Maddy. He works for the United States postal service and does reviews on post offices all around North Carolina.

Isaac Watts was indeed a precious memory. Since his demise more than two centuries ago, no one in the modern times has ever led sanctuary praises like the bard of Southampton. In 1825, Montgomery wrote that every religion where Isaac’s native tongue spoke, hundreds of voices send their sacrifices of prayer and praise to God in the strains he had earlier. Isaac’s hymns act as a charm for our early youth while logic and sermons serve as a reliable source of everlasting satisfaction in the maturity, advance, and decline of life.
