Harriet PERKINS

In 1860, Captain William Neyland bought the " SUNFLOWER" from Clements and based it at Bevil port, where he also owned a cotton warehouse. In 1860 Neyland grew 225 bales of cotton on his Jasper County Plantation and was also one of the county's largest slave holders. After an eventful career as both Confederate tender and blockade-runner at Sabine Pass, the"Sunflower" was transferred by its new owner Capt. D.E. Connor, to the Trinity in 1867, where it sank at Patrick's landing, North of Swarthout.
