Martha Jennings-Lucas searching for her mother, sister, brothers, daughter, and husband
A Former Slave's Appeal.
The following pathetic appeal is print-
ed [printed] in the Star of Zion, Chariotte, N.C.,
and is from a former slave who wants to
find his relatives, 37 years after they were
set free:
"Information wanted of my mother, sis-
ter [sister] and brother. My mother's name was
Lucy Jennings, and was a servant of Dr.
Jennings, of Shelby, N.C. My brothers'
names were George and Jim Jennings. I
left him in South Carolina, Darlington dis-
trict [district]. He was a servant of Dr. Beaty
Jennings. My sister Armelia was living
near my brother Jim, and was a servant
of Mrs. Cornelia Douglass. My brother
George was carried to Atlanta, Ga. My
daughter Ella and I were taken from my
husband in Shelby. I was brought to
Atolla county, Mississippi, and my hus-
band [husband] was carried to Richmond, Va. His
name was Jerry Cancer. If any one
knows of these people, please write to
"Martha Jennings-Lucas,
"Kosciusko, Miss."
