Sarah Zuber (formerly Sarah Clark) searching for her mother and siblings

MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire
for my relatives. I was born on
the Ford place, 8 miles from Tarboro
Town, [n]ear Hart's mill race, in
North Carolina. My father's name
was Jack Adkinson, and is now dead.
My mother was named Edie Clark;
she was sold to Willie Baker. I
had several brothers who were sold
as follows: Jackson, Joshua, Louis
and John Samuel were sold to un-
known parties; John Henry to
Harris Cotton; Louis to a man by
the name of Shelly; my sister Eliza
to Joe John Daniel. I was six
years old at that time, and was
sold to Susan Ruffins. We were
all sold by Henry Hyman, the high
sheriff of Tarboro Town, Edgcomb
county, N.C. Susan Reuffins, my
old mistress, married Henry D.
Nichols. I have been here 34 years.
My name was Sarah Clark. Wil-
liam Clark is dead, and Amos went
to Louisiana. I am living near
Starkville, Oktibbeha county, Miss.
Address any information to Sarah
Zuber, Oktoc, Miss.
