Emma Spencer searching for her uncles Peter Robert, and Stephen Lockhart and aunt Isoleni
DEAR EDITOR I want to enquire
for some uncles of mine.
They lived in Lawrence District.
When my grandmother came here
to this state, from South Carolina,
my mother was a baby; when my
grandmother came here with Mr.
Matt. Lockheart, and Sam. Lockheart,
their misses names were
Mary and Lucinda. Mr. Matt, and
Tom were sons of Gen. Lockhart.
My mother left three daughters
and our grandmother raised us. My
name is Emma Jane Spencer and
sister's name is Mary Maris Ellis
The uncles names I want to find out
about, I will give, as their ages
come: Peter Lockhart, Robert
Lockhart, Stephen Lockhart, and
Joseph Lockhart. I have an aunt
also, I wish to find out about, her
name is Isoleni, she was sold to
Mr. Russell, of Alabama, My
grandfather's and grandmother's
names are Isaac Lockhart, and
Mary Lockhart; she died the 19th.
of July, 1864, and was buried on the
28th. I am a member of the Methodist
church, and sister is a member
of the Missionary Baptist. The
last words of my grandmother were
for sisters and myself, to hunt up
our uncle and aunt, so you will
greatly oblige us by sending to
the different churches a copy of
this letter.
EMMA SPENCER
Aberdeen, Miss.
