MR. EDITOR-- Assist me to find my people in Tennessee. I was raised near Centreville, Tennessee, and belonged to Major Robert Toddy. I was sold to Wm. Foster who brought me to Mississippi about 30 years ago. When I came away from Centreville a man named Jim Easly was postmaster there. I left my mother named Retta, and five sisters and one brother, also five children, the oldest one named Archie, next Matthew, next George, the oldest daughter Ellen (called Poll for nick-name), and Nancy Retta, the youngest. Their father was Calvin Martin. I would also like to inquire about my fellow-servants, colored people named Martin. Address Mrs.Lucinda Martin, Hazlehurst, Miss.
