Minerva Stokes searching for her mother Emily Berry
MR. EDITOR-Please make inquiry for my mother. Her name was Emily Berry, and belonged to Richard Berry, of Nashville, Tenn. She was sold in Memphis, Tenn, carried there by John Overton, who now lives six miles from Nashville, out on the Franklin road. Some years ago a letter came to Nashville, inquiring for us. The letter was from Illinois, and stated that she had been to Mississippi and back to Illinois since the war. She inquired for Mary, Martha, Billy and Minerva. We are the ones, but we did not get the letter, only heard of it. We would be very glad of any information. Address, Minerva Stokes, Lebanon, Tenn.
