Do You Know Them. I would like to find my relative. I was born near Louisa Court House, Virginia and was sold in Richmond, Va., to a ne- gro [negro] trader by the name of Smith. It has been thirty-six years ago I think. I belonged to the Burruss family in Virginia. My old mistress was Mrs. Lucy Bur- russ [Burruss], who had a son by the name of Dr. John L. Burruss. The Doctor's sisters were Caroline and Mart Eliza. The widow Burruss moved from near Luisa Court-house to Hanover Co., and took my brother Jim and my sister Louisa, and myself (Susan). By marriage my name is Susan Anderson. My mother was named Rachel, and my father Mar- tin [Martin]; both belonged to the Burruss. I think I had three brothers, Jim, Carter and Dave. Two uncles, Charles and Hen- ry [Henry]. He was a shoemaker by trade and lived in the town of Louisa, Va. My sis- ter [sister] Louisa had two daughters, their names were Isabelle and Charlotte. They lived in Hanover County with me and the widow Burruss. Some of my cousins are Joe, Mark, Hunter, Marga rett [Margarett] and Millie. I knew people when I lived near Louisa, Va.; Dr. McGee Liaby; and Dr. Goodman. If any one can give any information of these persons, please address at once SANDY OR SUSAN ANDERSON, Mineola, Wood Co., Texas.
