Description
-
After an unsuccessful escape attempt ca. 1849, Sisley, the daughter of Jennie Stephens and John "Felix" White was first sold to Webb Ross of Georgetown, KY with her mother and siblings, then to John A. Miller, a Mississippi cotton planter who held hundreds of enslaved people. Jane placed two ads in 1867 and 1885 looking for Sisley and her sister Lucy Ann. There is no indication they were ever reunited.
