MR. EDITOR ---- I desire to inquire for my brother and sister. My sister was named Lucy; she was sold out of the Allen family to a man by the name of Battle Esters; he sold her to George. C. Kees, who sold her to Tom Bates, and he sold her to Jack Brandstutter and he sold her to the traders. Then the traders took her from Ray county, Missouri. My sister had one of her forefingers cut off, and the middle one cut so it grew crooked, but I don't remember what hand it was. My brother, was named Joe Dennis. He was sold out of the Allen family to a Major Serve, who sold him to the traders, and that was the last I heard of him. His right hand was crooked. My mother and father belonged to a man by the name of Ephriam Youen at that time. My mother's children that were left with her at that time were, the oldest, Aggie, next Jennie, next myself, Sarah. My mother's name was Sally; father, Isaac Venerable. My youngest brother stayed with his grandmother; my grandfather was named Thomas Allen, grandmother Aggie Allen. I have a half brother by the name of Isaac Wadkins; he belonged to Charlie Wadkins; his mother's name was Aggie Wadkin's. Charlie Wadkin's sold him but I do not know the man's name who bought him. The last we heard of him he was somewhere in Louisiana. He was sold from Ray county, Mo. Address Mrs. Sarah Slater.

MR. EDITOR --- I desire to inquire through your paper for my relatives. I left them in or near Richmond, Va. My mother's name was Mattie Booker; she is dead. My father was named Wm. Watson. Mother went by her first owner's name, Booker; also, father went by his owner's name; but at my remembrance mother belonged to a Mr. John Morris, who sold her to Mr. Henry Brooks, who carried her to Missouri, where she died, leaving father at Richmond, Va. I think father's wife, when I last heard from him, was named Sallie. My brother, Davy Crockett, was left there, too; and my aunts, viz: Mary, Maria and Viria Thornton. My grandma was named Sarah Thornton. I was sold to a Mr. Scott by John Morris. I have a brother, Rufus Woods, living in or near Kansas City, Mo.; he left me in 1858, in Travis county, on the Colorado river, near Austin, Texas. I think father belonged to a Mrs. Thompson, in Richmond, Va. Father was a brother by the name of Sam Woods. My name when brother Rufus left was Sallie Scott, but now it is Sallie Evans. Will the ministers and readers of this paper in and near Richmond, Va., and Kansas City, Mo., help me to find my people. I am alone. If Providence provides that you find them, please write me, in care of Rev. Willis H. Jackson, Brenham, Texas. MRS SALLIE EVANS

MR. EDITOR --- Please allow me space in your columns to inquire for some lost friends of mine who have been separated from me since early life. My mothers name was Martha Ann, and belonged to John Scroggins, and lived in Rutherford county, Tenn., near Murfreesboro, on Bradley Creek. Mr. Editor, we Methodists know where the old Shiloh Church stands, lived near that place, but moved to Missouri, about the year 1844, to Morgan county, and was sold to a man by the name of Daniel Dale, and was shortly moved to Texas. My two sisters were named Jemima and Eliza. I have three brother whose names were Daniel Defate, Abraham and Peter. My name is Samuel Mango Scroggins, but properly known by the name of Samuel Scroggin; my dear old mother was known to be a good and faithful member of the M. E. Church, but as to brothers and sisters I can not say, but I will endeavor to ever pray for them. As I professed religion at the age of 14 years and joined the M. E. Church, and as I am a pastor of that Church, I will try to do my whole duty, and hope that pastors will read this letter from their pulpits. Address me at Sherman, Grayson county, Texas. REV. SAM'L SCROGGINS.
