Sandy Akins seeking their brother and sisters

MR. EDITOR -- I wish to inquire through your paper for my people whom I left in Tedville, North Carolina, in what year I don't know. I had two brothers and two sisters. My mother's name was Hannah McCoy. My other brother's name was Philip McCoy, and my sisters names were Harriet and Edith McCoy. We belonged to Mr. John McCoy; he died and willed me to his son George McCoy and he sold me to a speculator named Droue, and the last time I saw any of my people I was in the guard house and my sister Harriet McCoy came to the window and called me. I had an aunt, her name was Millie McCoy. My oldest cousin was named Julia McCoy. The next one was named Annie McCoy; she had two brothers to my remembrance, Isaac and Dave McCoy. Their father was named Sandy McCoy, all belonged to old John McCoy. Pastors please read this from your pulpit, help me to find my people and God will bless you. If found you will please address my grandson, Henry Akins, Shell Mound, Miss. My name is now Sandy Akins.
