MR. EDITOR—I desire to hear from my relatives. I first belonged to Jackson Stephen, and he lived seven miles from Lynchburg, Va. Stevens gave John Rucker the hiring of the girls and their mother. The girls were Julia and Fannie. My mother was Sophia James. John Rucker's cook was Elvira. I had a brother Hezekiah Jackson Powell; Aunt Elizabeth raised him. I first lived with Frank Royal, then with George Curl, who was a carpenter; I also lived with Robt. Lee; I lived one year with Capt. Shields; one year with Abram Beagus, a policeman. Walker, a negro trader, sold my sister. I heard Julia was sold in Tuscumbia. John Rucker sold me; my name is Fan- nie; he sold me to Selfwoodsuff. The last man I lived with was Lindsey Pagit, a tailor. Tom Rucker's cook was Alcy. Address me at Brookhaven, Miss. MRS. A. D. TOWNSEND. ______
