DEAR EDITOR-I wish to inquire for my sister Martha, who was sold from me before the war. She was sold out of Cumberland county, Ky. Our owners were John Milton Baker and Mrs. Polly Baker. Our mother's name was Lisey Baker, one brother Ben. Baker, one sister Sallie Baker. Only four children in the family. My sister Martha was sold to some one in Tennessee, I don't remember the name. she was about 8 years old when sold, possibly older, I do not recollect, it has been so long. Myself and sister were raised by a colored lady, aunt Rear Alexander; her old man was Patrick alexander. sister was old enough to remember the names of all the family; both white and colored. Myself and brother are in Red River county, Texas; mother and sister Sally are dead, and the white family also. Address me at Clarksville, Texas.
