Unknown searching for their father Charles Paxton and mother Polly Silliman

DEAR EDITOR--I desire to learn
the whereabouts of my people.
Father was Charles Paxton, and
came from South Carolina, and
lived on Richland Creek, East Fe-
liciana [Feliciana] parish, Louisiana. Mother
was Polly Silliman. When I was
seven years old, Mr. Paxton; their
master, moved to Red River, and
took his slaves with him. Father
left five children, named Bettie,
James, Amanda, Rose and Ailsy.
Address me at Clinton, Louisiana,
care of Rev. James Qualls.
