My earliest recollections were of the Georgia side of Savannah River, and my school-days were passed there, but the appointment to West Point Academy was from North Alabama. My father, James Longstreet, the oldest child of William Longstreet and Hannah Fitzran- dolph, was born in New Jersey. Other children of the marriage, Rebecca, Gilbert, Augustus B, and William, were born in Augusta, Georgia, the adopted home. Richard Longstreet, who came to America in 1657 and settled in Monmouth County, New Jersey, was the progenitor of the name on this continent.

That branch claimed to trace their lineback to the Conqueror. Marshall Dent married a Ma- gruder, when they migrated toAugusta, Georgia. Father married the eldest daughter, Mary Ann.
