Mary Ann Nelson searching for her sisters Emily Mathews and Rachel Nelson
I never made any effort to find my people before now. Will you please oblige me by publishing this letter. I have two sisters that were sold. Their names are Emily Mathews and Rachel Nelson; my name is Mary Ann Nelson; our father is named George Nelson, and Betsy Nelson. We were sold by the traders in Maryland. We belonged to a man named Henry Pugh, and was brought to New Orleans by the traders and put in a yard called Bruher's Traders Yard. Please direct letters in care of Union Chapel Church, Class No. 1, Mary Ann Nelson, New Orleans, La.
