Amerietta Gibson searching for her sister Caroline

DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for a woman named Caroline, who belonged to a man in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, named Hawkins, who sold her to John Smith, or "Goggle-eyed" Smith, as he was commonly called. Smith took her from the Nation to Texas, and sold her again. The whole family belonged to Delanos before they were scattered and sold. Her mother's name was Letta; father's, Samuel Melton; children's names, Amerietta, Susan, Esau, Angeline, Jacob, Oliver, Emeline and Isaac. If any one of your readers hear of such a person, they will confer a favor on her dear sister, Amerietta Gibson, by addressing me at Independence, Kas., P. O. Box 94. WM. B. AVERY, Pastor
