MR. EDITOR — I wish to inquire for my relatives. Sister Sarah, the oldest, and Harriet next. I was the younger. After Wm. Dike who owed us died we were sold; Harriet to Tom Handy and myself to George Handy, in a little town near King and Queen Courthouse. Parents were Jerry and Rachel; we were born in Essex county, Va. I was a little boy, weighing 56 pounds in Richmond, where speculators bought me and brought me to Carolina, about 1832. Squire Montgomery brought me in a speculator's drove. Address me at Starkville, Miss.
SAMUEL ROBINSON.
