MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire for some of my people--two sisters and two aunts. They and myself belonged to Jack Wade, after which we were sold as follows: My oldest sister, Eliza Wade, was sold to Jas. Cannada, from Franklin county, Va., to a place near Floyd Court- house, Va. She was the mother of 5 children. My youngest sister, Marietta Wade, I left at home on a place near what is called Pig River, with Jack Wade's widow, quite young at that time. My aunt, Sintia Wade, was sold to Griffin, on Black Water Creek, in Franklin county, Va., mother of several chil- dren. My aunt, Sallie Wade, lived near Maysville, Va., sold to Smith Dunwoody; carried from Franklin county, Va., near Maysville, Va. I was sold at Floyd Courthouse to Pleas Howard, and came to Rich- mond, and was sold by Pleas How- ard to Charles Oliver, 27 miles from Lynchburg, Va. I am known by quite a number of people at Frank- lin Courthouse, Va. I lived with Henry Dorsey during my stay at Franklin Courthouse. Address me at Askew, Ark. SOPHIA WHITFIELD.
