Alfred Tucker searching for his brothers, John and Peyton, and his mother Sallie Tucker

MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire
for my people. I have a mother,
and two brothers. We belonged to
Mr. Williams, in Ambush county,
six miles from Lynchburg, Va. The
last I heard of my mother she was
on the steamboat going to Rich-
mond, Va, to get in the speculator's
roll. My mother was named Sallie
Tucker. My brother John and I
were left in Ambush county, Va.
Some time after that I was sold.
Brother John was left with Miss
Mary Tucker, his young miss, in
Ambush county, Va. My father
was named Peyton, he belonged to
a man by the name of Mr. Ellis,
who owned a tobacco factory in
Lynchburg, Va. Also three uncles
in Lynchburg named Monroe, Jack
and Merchant. Uncle Monroe was
a leach doctor. It has been near
forty years since I left there. Ad-
dress me ot [at] Oxford, Miss.

ALFRED TUCKER.
