<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR-- I wish to inquire through your valuable paper of some of my relatives. My brother's name is Jack Reed. I left him in Eastern Texas about sixteen years ago. He belonged to Willis Reed. I heard he went to Louisiana. His father's name is George Reed, and he was sold to Dr. Boil, of Mississippi. He was killed by a mule. Our mother's name was Nancy. Our step-mother was Vinia Laughlin. Jack's wife's name was Matilda Modley. Nancy Reed, our mother, had but two children, myself and brother Jack. We had a half-sister - Sarah Laughlin. She belonged to a Laughlin of Mississippi. I have not seen. her since she was six years old. That was in Talahatchie county, Miss., about five miles from Charleston. Sister Sarah had three other children - Polly, Priscilla and Matilda, and a brother, named Bill; and there are some others whose names I cannot remember. At the time we were separated I belonged to Nathan Reed. I am now living in Caldwell, Texas, near Luling. Any one who may identify the above names will please write to me at once, at Luling, Caldwell Co., Texas.
