Lucy Morrow searching for her mother, father, brother, and sister

Dear Editor-I wish to inquire
for my relatives whom I left in
North Carolina. I left my mother
in 1846. My mother and three
children belonged to Elijah Polk.
My mother's name was Chaney, the
three children were brother Albert,
sister Mary, and the other's name
I cannot remember. I belonged to
Wm. Yore. My father was Jesse
Ward. I was sold from my people
in 1846 to a negro slave trader. I wrote
to my mistress' daughter, Annie
Yore, and she answered that she
knew where my sister was, and
that she was married and had two
children. We lived in Halifax,
N. C. My name was then Morning
Ward, but it is now Lucy Morrow.
Address me at Elgin, Texas, P. O.
