Moses Shelton (formerly Moses Hurt) searching for his mother Malinda and sisters Lizzie, Mary, and Maria
Mr. Editor: I am anxious to find my mother. The was named Malinda and belonged to Mrs. William Hurt of Richmond, Va. Mother, two daughters, Lizzie and Mary were sold at auction in Richmond, Va., to a Negro trader who took us to Fredericksburg, Va. Another sister Maria and I were sold from there and taken to Greensboro, Ala., a few years before the war. I was then ten years old. I am so anxious to find my mother and sisters. I was then known as Moses Hurt; now Moses Shelton. Address me in care of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. N. Toole, pastor, Mashulaville, Miss.
