' It is known thut they resided la Georgia in 1840 as one of their chil dren, Florence Jackson was born In your state on December 7, 1840, and shortly afferwn'ids the family left your State and came to New York City. This man stated his business in 1841 w«uh that of a "Proprietor” and Do doubt he was possessed of lands Sffljv property jn your State and that the family was probably somewhat prominent, and the records might dis close tht fset that he owned land In your county. ’“"Die last surviving member of tho family has recently died, leaving prop erty and the heirs are unknown. I have advertised the matter in the papers of the latge cities of your State without any result. It Is very Important for their ben efit that the heirs should he located, as they are entitled to property of considerable value, and it occurred to me that If the matter could be given publicity through the local papers In your county that the matter would he brought Co the attention of the heirs.
