Share Information About This Ad
MR. EDITOR: I formerly belonged to Col. Elijah Vasser, of Halifax county, Va., who moved South about forty-two years ago. He bought my wife Maria, but could not buy my two oldest children who belonged to Thos. Spriggins, of Cherry Hill, Halifax county, Va. Their names were Rachel and Martha I desire, if possible to find them; and Gracie and Albert, servants formerly of Sam Smith, of Halifax, Va.
Gratefully; BILLY VASSER, Aberdeen, Miss.
