MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire for my brothers, John and Peyton, and mother, Sallie, all by the sur- name Tucker. We belonged to Wm. Tucker, in Amherst county, Virginia. I have not seen them in 36 or 37 years. My father was named Peyto, and belonged to a Mr. Elliott, in Lynchburg, Va., who owned a tobacco factory. Uncles were Jack and Merchant. I had an uncle by the name of Monroe, he was a leech doctor. I do not know who they belonged to, nor their oc- cupation. Wm. Tucker sold my mother and brother Peyton to the speculators before he did me; left me and brother John at home. The last I heard of her she was on the steamboat going to Richmond, Va., to the speculator's yard. I left brother John with my old master, Wm. Tucker, or with his daughter, in Virginia. I left them when I was 10 years old.
