Sarah F. Tolbert searching for her relatives, including her father Jordan Wren and mother Cherry Wren
DEAR EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my relatives. They lived in Smithfield, Isle of Wight Co., Va. We all belonged to James C. Jordan. My Father, Jordan Wren, belonged to Dr. Sam Wilson in Surry county. My mother, Cherry Wren, was living with Major Thomas, in Smithfield when I left there. My oldest sister, Rachel, was living in Norfolk, with Dr. Cook. Sister Nancy I left in Smithfield. Brothers' names were Sam and Dick. I have also two uncles, Fredrick Baker and Allen Baker. They lived in Norfolk. Brother Joe and I were sold to Boe Easley, and brought out here in 1852. The ladies I belonged to were Adelaide, Tummillah and Susan. The boys, Cary and the twins, I nursed. My brother Joe lives in Jackson, Tennessee, and I live in Macon, Noxubee Co., Miss. My name is now Tolbert. When I left home I had a little boy named Thomas. If any of my people should see this they can address letters to me at Macon, Noxubee Co , Miss. SARAH F. TOLBERT.
