Metilda Jefferson searching for her people
MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my people—mother, three sisters and three brothers. Mother's name was Ellen Vannoy; sisters were Harriet Vannoy, Corela Vannoy, and Hannah Buckner; brothers were Charles, Richard and Milton. Mother, myself, Corela, Harriet all belonged to Vannoy. The last time I saw them was in Warren, Mo. Sister Hannah and brother Richard belonged to Buckner in Kentucky. Brother Charles stayed with mother until most a young man, and then was taken to Kentucky by one Peddis. Brother Milton, the last I eeard of him he was in Missouri. My name was Matilda Vannoy at that time. I was sold to Granville Blaky; and taken to St. Louis, and brought from there to Texas. I am now married, and go by the name of Matilda Jefferson. Ministers will please help me find them. Any information will be gladly received. Address me at Bryan, Texas. METILDA JEFFERSON.
