Edmond Thomas searching for his mother Aceneth and siblings
Southwestern Christian Advocate (New Orleans, LA)
September 13, 1883
DEAR EDITOR- I wish to inquire for my relatives. Mother was Aceneth. One brother was Sam. Two sisters, the oldest Nancy, and Mary. We belonged to a Mr. Southerling, in Arkansas, who lived near Memphis, Tenn. He sold us to John Range, who brought us to Texas. Mother got two of her middle fingers cut off with a shuck cutter while cutting shucks to feed the cows. She was sold to a Mr. Cain. She came to see us once after we were sold and a short time after that we moved to Rock Wall. I was then sold from my oldest sister and brought South. I have been anxious since I was ten years old to learn something about my relatives. Address me at Double Bayou, Chambers co., Texas. Edmond Thomas
