His grandfather, Dr. Soda, was a native of Cologne, an ancient city on the Rhine, in Prussia. Here educated to the science of physic, he afterwards became a practicing physician. Rather early in life, he came to the United States of America, and settled in the city of Savannah, Georgia, where the remainder of his life, some thirty years, was spent. Here, and during this time, he practiced in the medical profession with success and distinction. He married an American lady, the issue from which consisted in only one son and one daughter, Robert and Jane Rosettah. About the year 1830, the latter, with J. G. W. Pitts, were married in the city of Savannah, Georgia. The result from this nuptial union is the existence of the "author." With him, in 1834, his parents removed from Georgia to Rankin county, near Brandon, Mississippi, but the wife and mother did not long survive afterward, as will be seen from the following record found in the family Bible: "Mrs. Jane Rosettah Pitts, wife of J. G. W. Pitts, departed this life the 7th day of January, A D., 1835, in the 21st year of her age, after severely suffering under a complicated disease of two years' standing, which baffled the skill of the best physicians." The author was left an orphan at a very early age - only two years old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
