Rufus Rollings searching for his mother Letty and his siblings
DEAR EDITOR-- I was the last one sold out of nine in 1860. My mother and eight children were sold in Clarksville, Tenn., to Clark Cummings, a speculator. Mother was sold to Thomas Hughes, near Clarksville. The youngest one, Eveline, is dead. The next, Major, was sold the same day I was. I can't tell where he was taken to. I heard he went to Alabama. I was sold to a man in Mississippi named Pollen, and he caused me to be run to Texas. I heard that mother and five children were living in Logan county. The boys are Lewis, Charles and Moses; girls Lucy Ann and Shrildar. Mother's name was Letty. Address me at Paris, Tex. RUFUS ROLLINGS
