Solomon Wright searching for his people including his mother Keziah Wright
Richmond Planet (Richmond, VA)
September 22, 1900
PETTUS, LONOKE CO., ARK.
I desire to know the whereabouts of
my people. My mother was named
Keziah Wright and was sold from Wilts
Wright to Josiah Muby and he lived
near the land of Supic-town by the old
tar yard. His brother's name was Jack
King and he belonged to Edmond
King. His cousin's name was Penny
Wright and he belonged to Milto
Wright, who was a saloon-keeper at
the old tar yard about 50 years ago.
His father was an old blind man in
Nansemond Co. He was an old flax
beater. Solomon was sold from Mills
Wright to a speculator, named Amos
Harl and was carried from Subic to
Richmond, Va. and was sold off the
auction block to a man named Tom
Dickens. He lived in Memphis, Tenn.
and carried him there and he is now in
Lonoke Co., State of Arkansas.
Any information will be thankfully
received by
SOLOMON WRIGHT,
PETTUS, ARK, LONOKE CO.
