Birth Mother Rachel Steele

Sonny has found his birth step-mother after a long search and set out to meet her for the first time. Rachel gave him up for adoption because she was too young and her family refused to help her. A day did not go by without thinking of her step-son. She made sure the agency left him her information in case he ever wanted to find her. It was a shock when Rachel answered the door. A handsome young man dressed up in a starched white dress shirt stood before her. His eyes were green like Rachel's. He smiled and asked her her name. He told her he was her step-son. Rachel covered her face and gasped. He stepped in the door way to console her. Rachel thought he would be angry with her but he asked for a hug. She was thrilled he had found her and grabbed him tight. He was big and strong and so handsome. He called her by her first name and she told to call her step-mom. She hugged him again and then - after a moments hesitation - gave him a kiss on the cheek. She invited him to sit while she fetched some cold drinks. Sonny could not help notice how sexy she was. He felt attracted to her sexually. Rachel never married or had any other offspring. She was devastated at what happened. She could not reach the glasses so Sonny offered to help. He reached around her pushing her into the counter. She felt his groin on her lower back. Rachel turned around to try to slip out of the awkward position she was in. Sonny stopped her and looked at her beautiful green eyes. He kissed her on the lips and pulled her in tight. Rachel did not know how to react and she let it happen. Sonny pulled back to apologize. Both of them felt strange. They talked about how they felt about each other. Sonny confessed it was hard to look at her as his step-mom. Rachel agreed that it was difficult to see him as her step-son. Sonny put his glass down and kissed her again. Rachel locked lips with her long lost step-son. They made their way to the table where he lay here down. Sonny lifted her skirt and slid her panties off. Rachel arched her back and waited for his hot tongue. She had not had sex in years. She did not feel worthy. Sonny made his step-mother cum hard. He fingered her in just the right way causing her to squirt all over his hand. Rachel sat up, her hair tasseled. She dropped to her knees ready for his cock. She looked him in the eyes as she opened her mouth and guided his cock in her mouth. He moaned out her name. They took it into the bedroom. Rachel sat on his face in a 69 position. He made her cum over and over. She wanted him to make love to her and he wanted that as well. The heat between them was incredible. He made love to his step-mother until he pulled out and shot the largest load he had ever done. Rachel begged for it as she sat up and opened her mouth to catch all of it. Both of them were breathless, Rachel asked him to stay with her so they could start a new life. Sonny hugged her tight and told her they would never be apart again.

John was born on the 14th day of March, 1845, at Frazer, St. Joseph's Parish; his mother died in 1853, when he was eight years of age, and, as the boy was a favorite in his family for brightness, modesty, and candor, his father sought to give him the best advantages possible. He received home instruction from a half-sister. Mr. J. W. Hewett was his first public instructor, and by recommendation of Bishop Parry, of the Established Church of England, he was sent to St. John's Lodge, where in four years he completed its curriculum, graduating at the head of his class of fifty-six (white and colored) young men, delivering the valedictory address; and the following four years were spent in Codrington College, on the island of his birth, carrying with him first honor, favorable prophecy, and kindest wishes of his instructors and acquaintances.

James Bartlett Johnson was born a slave in Taylor County, Ky., about March, 1830. Like most slaves he does not know the exact date of his birth. He was reared by a Christian mother, and at the age of eighteen years was converted and joined the Church. From hisREV. J. B. JOHNSON.

FRANKLIN COUNTY, AR BIOGRAPHIES - K, L, M----------------------------------------------------------------------SOURCE: History of Benton, Washington, Carroll, Madison, Crawford,Franklin, and Sebastian Counties, Arkansas. Chicago: The Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1889.----------------------------------------------------------------------William Kendrick, a well-to-do and progressive farmer of White Oak Township, was born in Tuscaloosa County, Ala., March 10, 1831, and is a son of Wiley and Charity (Radian) Kendrick, natives of Tennessee and Alabama, respectively. Both died in Pontiac County, Miss., of cholera, in 1842, aged about thirty-five years. The father was a mechanic and farmer, and he and wife became the parents of nine children, only two of whom are living: Wiley, who is a farmer of Monroe County, Ark., and William. The latter and his elder brother reared, cared and provided for the younger members of the family, following the occupation of farming. The latter was also engaged in overseering a portion of the time, and when starting out in life for himself it was without means. He acquired a considerable amount of property before the war, but during that lamentable struggle all his property was destroyed. He now has one of the finest farms in Franklin County, Ark., consisting of 212 acres, which is the result of energy and business ability. In March, 1861, he enlisted in Capt. Davis' company, Col. Churchill's regiment, Confederate States Army, and after the battle of Shiloh was engaged in scouting during the remainder of the war. In December of 1860 he was married to Annie Taylor, who died in 1868, in Monroe County, Ark., where she was born. At the time of her death she was about twenty-three years of age. She left three children, who are all living in Franklin County: Cornelius, Samuel and Calvin. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Afterward Mr. Kendrick married Elvira Givins, who also died in her native county (Monroe) fifteen months later. His [p.1251] third and present wife is Mary Threadgill, a daughter of William Threadgill. She was born in Tennessee, and is the mother of five children: Ada, Oscar, John, Charles and Henrietta. Previous to the war Mr. Kendrick located in Monroe County, Ark., and in 1877 came to Franklin County, where he has since made his home. He is a member of the Methodist Church, and is a Democrat. ----------------------------------------------------------------------William V. King was born in Anderson District, S.

While on detached duty, in 1864, he was taken prisoner, and held the remainder of the time at Fort Delaware. In 1871 he returned to his family in Georgia, and in the fall of that year came to Arkansas, and homesteaded land in Franklin County.

He was among the first school-teachers of the village, and while thus engaged served also for a short time as justice of the peace, having been appointed to fill a vacancy in that office. While thus occupied he pursued his studies and gave attention to the small legal business which was occasionally entrusted to him. After two or three years his law business increased, and he was enabled to relinquish other employments. In 1856 he was chosen to represent Franklin County in the General Assembly, and served in that body to the satisfaction of his constituents. Two years later he [p.1257] was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney.
