MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire for my sister Amanda Jackson. Francis Henry Hill sold her to a Negro trader, Mr. Sidney Thomas, about 1848 or 1849. We all form-erly belonged to the Murchestney estate, but fell to Nancy Murchest-ney when she married Francis Henry Hill. We lived between Madison and Culpepper Court-house, on the Powel Hills Farm, Madison county, Va. Our mother was named Evline, and father Paul Jackson. Mother had six children when Amanda was sold, to-wit: Violet, the oldest; Amanda, Lucinda, Martha, Kate and Ellen. Address me at Brenham, Texas, care of Alex Hackett, my husband, or Rev. W. Hartley Jackson, P. C,

MRS. LUCINDA HACKETT.
