Mary Washington searching for her father David Roater, mother Bettie, and sisters Mary Ann and Margaret

Our family belonged to Mr.
Moody, of Mecklenburgh Co., Va.
Father was named David Roater
and mother was named Bettie ; I
had two sisters, Mary Ann and
Margaret. We were all sold to a
speculator called Capt. Williamson,
who took us to Selma, Alabama,
where in 1846, we were separated,
father, mother and sister Margaret
being at time carried with me
to this State. I desire word from
any and all of them ; address Mary
Washington, Hernando, Miss., care
Rev. B. L. Crump.
