Rachel Malvina Pemberton (or Pembleton) searching for her family
MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire
for my people. My name is Rachel
Melvina Pemberton. I used to be-
long [belong] to a man by the name of Eze-
kiel [Ezekiel] Pemberton, who lived in Sul-
livan [Sullivan] county, East Tennessee, near
Bushous Iron Works, and about
three miles from Popesville. My
father, who lived in the same
county, was Charles Blevins, and
belonged to Miss Abby and Miss
Labby Morrell. My mother was
Malinda Pemberton, and I had
three sisters, Rebecca, Emeline and
Caroline. Caroline was John
Worley's wife. David Blevins,
Jack Blevins, Charles Blevins,
Rhoda Blevins, Rachel Blevins and
Emma Boyd and Anderson Morrell
were my uncles and aunts. As I
said, my name is Rachel Malvina,
but they used to call me Brookens
for short. My relatives are in the
State of Ohio, but I do not know
what part. I would be under
many obligations for your kindness
and trouble if you could find any
trace of them, and would let me
know. I was sold from them into
State of Mississippi, in May 1853.
Address Rachel Pembleton, Ox-
ford [Oxford], Miss.
