Ceillia Sours searching for her six children

MR. EDITOR - I desire to know
the whereabouts of my six children,
whom I left in Carroll county, Miss.,
the first year of the war. We all
belonged to Mr. Steven Burts. He
died and we were divided, and a
Mr. Pratt took some of my children,
and Miss Eugene, daughter of S.
Burts, took the rest. My husband,
their father, died. Wiley Parker
bought me, and brought me to
Texas, The names of my children
were: boys, Daniel, Toby, Nelson
and Walker; girls, Judia and Sillia.
We lived three miles from Middle-
town [Middletown], Miss., on Mr. Davis' planta-
tion [plantation]. Address me, care of Mr. C. H.
Graves, San Felipe, Texas.
MRS. CEILLIA SOURS.
