MR. EDITOR: - I wish to inquire
for my folks. About 30 years ago
they left McElmasville, Tenn. I
belonged to Anderson H. Smith,
and his daughter married William
Kirk. My owner gave me to Kirk.
I have two brothers, Thomas and
Patrick Henry; they belonged to
Albert and Jack Faulch; three
sisters, Julia, Hannah and Maria.
We were brought from Virginia to
Tennessee in 1853. Mother was
Violet. Mr. Jack and Alfred Falch
carried them off. Address me at
Clarksburg, Tenn., care of Miss
Alice Kirk. My name was Mary
Kirk, but has been changed by
marriage to MARY PIGGUE.
