Mr. Editor - I want to inquire for my relatives whom I last saw in Marion District, South Carolina. We belonged to a widow, named Mrs. Patsey Bass, who was blind. My father was named Prince, and my mother Cloe Bass. In our family there were eight children, three boys and five girls; their names were Dandy and Lucy, who belonged to Bryant Bass; Caeser, who belonged to John Bass, and came from with him from South Carolina to Louisville, Ala; Luke, I do not remember who he belonged to, he died in South Carolina; Sarah, who belonged to Nancy Cox; Mariam belonged to a man by the name of Hampton; Amanda was given to Miss Priscilla Moody, and the last we heard of her she was in Clark county, Miss. I am the 8th one, and my name is Clarissay; I was given to a man named Ebenezer Tate, who bought my father from Mr. Joe Bass, and Mr. Tate brought us from South Carolina to Green county, Miss. My father died in 1865; mother died in South Carolina when I was quite young. I am the youngest of all. I was sold to a man named Griffin. I am married now and live in Perry county, Mississippi, Griffin P. O. Any information will oblige Andrew Griffin or Mrs. Clarissa Andrews. Address as above.
