I want to now the whereabouts of my mother and father. My father's name was Jessie Simms, my mother's name was Nancy Shelton. She belonged to a man named Walter Shelton and lived in Hanover county, Va. She was carried from Louisa county, Va. and lived close to Richmond with Edward Shelton. Soon after that she was sold in Richmond, Va. and bought by Walter Shelton and carried back to Hanover county. I was sold at the same time to a man named Ledbetter, during the war. Since than I have known nothing of my people. I have four sisters; Lucy, Millie, Jennie and Louisa Shelton. I had one brother, George Shelton. Any information will be gladly received.
