DEAR EDITOR— I wish to inquire for my sister whom I left in Monroe county, Miss. Her name is Rachel. She is a daughter of John Coleman. Her mother was Nancy. She belonged to Hugh Rosebrough in South Carolina. Mr. Rosebrough moved from South Carolina to Mississippi. At his death the property was divided and sister Rachel was sold in New Orleans by Jerry Walker, a son-in-law of Rosebrough's. Mother had 8 children, four girls and four boys, viz: Samuel, Isaac, Allen, Lee, Harriett, Lizzie, Linda and Rachel. I fell to Eliza Rosebrough and moved to Carrollton, Carroll county, Miss. Liza Rosebrough married Dr. G. W. Vasser. Any information of my sisters will be gladly received. My name is Harriett. Address me at Carrollton, Carroll Co., Miss., in care of B. Harris.
