MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire
for my relatives. Sister Sarah, the
oldest, and Harriet next. I was the
younger. After Wm. Dike who
owed us died we were sold; Har-
riet to Tom Handy and myself to
George Handy, in a little town
near King and Queen Courthouse.
Parents were Jerry and Rachel;
we were born in Essex county, Va.
I was a little boy, weighing 56
pounds in Richmond, where specu-
lators bought me and brought me
to Carolina, about 1832. Squire
Montgomery brought me in a spec-
ulator's drove. Address me at
Starkville, Miss.
SAMUEL ROBINSON.
