Do You Know Them?

Ellisville, Miss., Aug. 24, '07.
I am seeking information about
some of my relatives. I was born
in Amelia County, Va., near Farmer's
Bank. Don't know name of town.
My age is about 56 years. I left
home about 1858, a slave, belong-
ing to Henry Anderson. Left with
Ed. Stokes and came to Mississippi.
My relatives left in Virginia were my
mother, Rachael Banister. After-
ward learned she married a man by
the name of Cy. Stokes. Also left
four brothers, Randall, Dave Billy
and Stephen Banister and one sister
named Sarah who married Barnett
Pegram. I want to hear from some
of them.
If any one of them or anyone who
knows anything about any of them,
will write me, the information will
be very gratifying to me.
Address,
BETTIE CLAYTON,
Ellisville, Miss.
