African American History
Mr. Editor:—1 wish to inquire
for my kin people. I left them in Campbellsville, Ky., about 1862, as near as I
can remember. My mother at that time was Jeannette; she belonged to Thomas
Johnson, and was of a bright color. Father was Milton Hasard, and belonged to a
Mr. Hasard. I had a sister, Delcine, older than myself, of a bright color.
Sisters Betsey and and Matildar were also older than I. I had an aunt on
mother's side named Sisley, belonging to Dick Johnson. She married a freeman
June Willis, a preacher at that time. I had another aunt Rosantha, who belonged
to Dick Johnson. I was Lettie Ann Davis, but by marriage became Lettie Bird.
Address me at Prairie Lea, Texas.
