Sally Anderson (formerly Sally Bons) searching for her mother, step-father, brother, half-sister, and uncle
MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire
for my people. My mother's name
was Mary Liza Gross, stepfather's
name Major Gross, Brother Henson
Bons, half-sister named Mary Liza
Brown, Uncle Manuel Clinton. We
all used to live in St. Mary County,
Maryland. We lived near Sintun-
gus [Sintungus] and a postoffice by the name
of Frap. My owners was Richard
Clark, and his wife was Mary Liza
Clark. Mary Liza Clark sold me
to James Linglan, and he sold me
to a trader, and I was sold again
and brought to Mississippi in 1849,
where I now live. My name when
I left there was Sally Bons, but
now my name is Sally Anderson.
I hope all your readers will take
pleasure in helping me to find my
people. Any one knowing of the
thereabouts of my people address
W. S. Anderson, (my son), Aber-
deen [Aberdeen], Miss.
