Catherine Strong searching for her unnamed mother's family
MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire
for my mother's people, whom she
left in Norfolk, Va. Her mother's
name was Betsy Ridley; her father
Thomas Moseley; sisters, Lizzie,
Georgana; brother, William. She
was sold from Ridley to Ruskin,
and he sold me to a negro trader by
the name of Mr. Hall. I left them
in 1850 or '51, and was brought to
Mississippi, and I have not heard
from them since. My name at that
time was Katie Ridley. I now go
by the name of Catherine Strong.
Address me at Aberdeen, Miss.,
care of W. T. Strong.
