The Pine Belt News, Brewton, Alabama November 30, 1911
A pair of trousers, made according to a pattern of "ye olden times," a decided 
curiosity, a family heir-loom, which have been handed down from generation to 
generation, are temporarily in the possession of the The News editor.
The "pants" are made of cotton, hand spun and woven, and were worn during the 
Revolutionary War by William Malphus, great grand-father of Rev. N.G.Baggett, 
of Brewton, route 2.  Mr. Malphus lived on Big Escambia creek, eight miles 
north of Flomaton, where he died at the ripe old age of ninety years.  He was 
from Ireland and fought in the Revolutionary War.
We will send the trousers to the department of Archives and History at 
Montgomery, for preservation.

Additional Comments:
I am a descendent of N.G.Baggett and in the early 80's made a trip to Montgomery
Ala. to the History and Archives to inquire about this pair of pants.  The 
several people that I was able to speak to could tell me nothing about them. 
Needless to say, I was very disappointed that I was unable to look upon a pair 
of pants that my GGGGGrandfather had worn in the Revolutionary War!!
