DEAR DDITOR [EDITOR] ---- I want to enquire
for my two girls I left in 1848,
Julian Burks and Jane Burks.
Julian is the oldest and Jane the
next. Julian was left in Tolberton,
Georgia, with a man named Monroe
Sanford and Jane was left in
Mississippi with Col. Burks, her
owner, and he went to Montgomery
in Alabama, and there sold her for
debt to Tom Evans. Mr. Evans
carried her to Tennessee and that
is the last I heard of her. I had
five girls and two boys when I left
there. The others were Emily,
Minerva and Mary and the boys
were Troupe and David. My name
was Patsy Burks. I was sold from
Burks to Grays. Address Patsey
Walker, Marshall, Harrison county,
Texas.
