My family belonged to Mr. Bennett, in Charleston, S. C. and we had his name. I do not remember my father. My mother's name was Nancy; she died at Bennett's. I had a sister Eliza, and another sister Frances. Bennett sold us just before the war to a slave dealer named Anker, and we were separated. Our grand-parents were Jacob and Milly Roberson, and they lived at Beaufort, S.C. I had two aunts named Mary and Hester Bennett and three of my uncles were Joseph, Benjamin and Peter Roberson. I was sold by Anker to Mr. Dean in Tennessee. I will receive any in- formation concerning my dear relatives most thankfully. Address Solomon Dean, Nolensville, Tennessee.
