Daniel Scott and Dorcas, his wife emigrated to the western country many years ago from the county of Caswell, North Carolina. They are supposed to reside, if living, in one of the states of Tennessee, Alabama, or Mississippi. The object of this is to notify them, if they are alive, or, if they are dead, the children of the body of Dorcas Scott (who was Dorcas Cannon), that if they will address a line to Ann Scott (sister of Daniel Scott) directed to Danville, Virginia, they will hear in reply, of something materially in their advantage.
The undersigned, who is an elderly and infirm female, humbly entreats editors of papers in the western and south western states, as an act of benevolence, and in furtherance of the ends of Justice, to give the above a few insertions in their respective journals.
