DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire
for my mother, three sisters, and
one brother, the names of whom
are as follows: My mother's name
when last I heard from her was
Betsey Clark; my brother's name
was Adolphus Clark; my three
sisters names were Adeline Clark,
Serella Clark, and the third one is
the daughter which she had after
we were separated, and the name
of whom I have not learned. These
relatives were sold from me near
Covington, La., in or about the
year 1839, leaving me a boy about
sixteen years old. Before we were
sold from one another, we belonged
to on Joyner. I myself was sold
to a woman by the name of Mary
Fox, who afterward married a man
by the name of Sam Simpson, with
whom I remained till the close of
the war. I still go by the name of
Simpson. I visited my mother at
New Orleans about fifteen years
ago, and succeeded in finding
them all in that city. Only one of my
sisters (Serella) was then married.
My mother had married a man
whose name I do not recollect. She
had only one child by the man
whom she then had. So you see
New Orleans is the last place in
which I saw them, and I wish to
know whether they are still there
or not. I may have possibly
mistaken a little in giving the
surnames of the above named relatives,
but the given names are correct.
Wherever my mother is, she is
known by the name of the man
whom she last married, but the last
name by which I knew her was
Betsey Clark; and so for all of the
above named relatives. Myself and
Adolphus were the only sons she
ever had that I know [indecipherable].
My address is Barksdale, Attala
county, Miss. WM Simpson

SEPARATED FOR FORTY YEARS. Strange History of William Davis and His Sister, Once Slaves. Niles, Mich. Aug. 10. - Forty years ago William Davis and his sister Mary were slaves in the family of James Matlock, a rich Georgia planter. Just before the war Matlock died and William and Mary were sold to pay the debts of the estate. They were parted and for forty years neither heard of the other. After the war William took the name of Davis and came north to Niles. He began the dray business, amassing a small fortune. To-day he learned that his sister is still alive and was in San Francisco. She sought out her brother William that she might leave her fortune of $150 000 to him. When she was sold she was bought by a wealthy wom who took her to California. when this woman died she had no relatives to leave her money to, and so made Mary her heir. Mary is now 83 years old.

Our former owner was D.W. Lumpkin, who resided in Holly Springs, Miss., Marshall county. My mother's name was Lucinda Lumpkins. I can not remember my father's name. However, we all belonged to the same man. I had a sister who was sold before we were, to a man who lived in New Orleans. Her name was Emily. I am my mother's only son.

MR. EDITOR--I have found out where my brother Emanuel and Stephen are by the help of the SOUTHWESTERN. So please to make another inquiry for my sister Pinnie and her husband Robin; Robert is his name, but they call him Robin; their eldest sons are named Stephen and Richard, and girls are Mame, Emmer and Caroline. I haven't called half of her childrens' names, as I cannot remember them; I havefour names of cousins: Edmund, Comadore, Hudson, Nelson, all of them used to belong to Joe Green, who lived near Montgomery, Ala., and I have got one brother and sister after I have not found yet. Brother Stephen told me that they were sold in New Orleans and was sold together, names are Frank and Mrry. Our first owner was Louis Toliver. I was born in Georgia, and when Louis Toliver moved to Mississippi I was 7 or 8 years old, and when I left there I went up to the plantation that was called the Monroe Place with Nick Toliver, my youngest master, and was sold to Morgan Smith in Alabama, and he died in the summer about the year 1860, and about the last of November 1860 I moved to Louisiana by Frank Smith, and I pray God they may see this. Any information as to her whereabouts will be gladly received. Address Valetine Toliver, Shreveport, La.

DEAR EDITOR:--I desire information of my people, I was my mother's oldest child. Grandmother was Charlotte Cox. My aunts were Patience, Margaret and Rosetta and Julia Cox; aunt Julia was the youngest. We belonged to Wm. Cox in Chambers County, Alabama, and were sold and brought to near Huntsville, Texas, in 1854, by Robert Mayer. I married Samuel Shackelford, and we lived together 26 years, when he died November 14, 1882, leaving me and six children to mourn his loss. I have never heard of my people since I left them. Address me care of Rev. A. C. Culbreath, Huntsville, Texas. SUSAN SHACKELFORD.

MR.EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my relatives--my mother, sisters and brothers. Sisters were named Milly, Mollie and Jennie Alford. I learn that mother is dead; her name was Diana Alford. I left two or three other sisters behind but I can not think of their names. I was small when I left North Carolina, Walker county. Sister Evaline and I left at the same time, Hayward and Billie Alford. I was given to Miss Howell and then sold to James Nors, he sold me to Mark Jackson. When I left there my name was Stephen Alford, now it is Stephen Jackson. I ask the pastors of North Carolina and Holly Springs, Wake county, N.C., to read this from their pulpit. Any information of any of the above named persons will be thankfully received. Address Stephen Jackson, Hernando, Miss:, in care of Rev. J. M. Nevils.
