Do You Know them?
I desire to find my relatives. I left
my mother in Sewal, Va. I was sold
from her in slavery. Her name was Eas
ter [Easter] Mitchell, my father belonged to an-
other [another] white man by the name of Barley
Brockston, which was his name.
I have some brothers but cannot re-
member [remember] but two, Peter Mitchell, being
the oldest, Alexander next. Have sev-
eral [several] sisters but cannot remember but
two, Lucinda, the oldest and Margaret
Mitchell. The old white man's name
was Dickie Mitchell. He had thirteen
children, all boys except two.
Any information will be gladly re-
ceived [received] by
