Share Information About This Ad
DEAR EDITOR- I wish to hear
of my friends. Father was Jackson
Jennings, and he was set free
before the war by his owners, and
went to Alabama. Sister was a
girl about ten years old, and left
with her young master, Frank
Sloat. When he died her father
left her with her grandmother,
Fanny Sloat. Her name is now
Victoria Wright. Address her at
Meridian, Miss., care of S. Young.
