Charlotte Stuart searching for her relatives including her parents Peter and Melvina Brummer
The Freeman (Indianapolis, IN)
October 15, 1892
I would like to know the whereabouts of
some of my relatives from whom was sepa-
rated [separated] in slavery. I came from Henderson count-
ty [county], West Tenn, near Jack's Creek; my parents,
Peter and Melvina Brummer, belonged to John
Brummer. I had eleven brothers and sisters--
Lucy, James, Nelous, Martin, Betsey, Clarice,
Thomas, Dabcey, Martha, Jordan, Mary. My
sister Mary and myself were given to James
Dixson, at Jack's Creek, and I was swapped to
Evan Thompson; he sold me to George Stuart.
Thomas and Clarice were in Mississippi with
Woodson Anderson. Any information will be
thankfully received by Charlotte Stuart, Sear-
cy [Searcy], Ark.
