A written representation of a document.
I have seven brothers and one
sister. I left them in Granville
county, North Carolina in 1839. We
all belonged to a lawyer named
Abraham Venable. Mother was
named Pinkey and father Joshua.
My brothers were Monroe, Addison,
William, Dock, Alexander and
David Russell, and sister was
named Julia Smiley; she was named
after a northern school teacher. I
married Agnes Channellton, at Mr.
K. D. Channellton's, in 1837. Our
first child was named Pinkey. Then
we moved from Randolph to
Cheatham co., North Carolina. Our
young mistress married Jackson
Gilmore ond carried us there. My
sons are named William Monroe,
Razamus Oglby, and Alvis Cross.
We were then sold to a speculator.
My wife and I left our children in
Moore county, North Carolina, and
went back to Randolph county in
1844, and lived with a man named
Billy Lamfens. There was born of
us sons named Josiah Greenberry
and Dockery Clark; one daught-
er [daughter] named Julia Ana Phancillar;
another son, named Postilla, who
died. We were sold again to a
speculator by the name of Spruce
McCurry, in Lexington, Davidson
county, North Carolina. When the
old white people died the estate
divided and Greenbury, my son, fell
to Mr. Aroy Lawfens, who sold
him to Mr. Jerry Addison, a specu-
lator [speculator], a partner of McCurry; there
was partner with McCurry and Ad-
dison [Addison], named Add March; these
men carried off my son Greenbury
and sold him in Memphis, Tenn.
The last I heard of him he was in
the army and was discharged. My
name was Alfred Venable when I
lived in Granville county, North
Carolina. I now go by the name
Alfred Yancey. Pastors will please
read this to their congregations.
Address Alfred Yancy, Yazoo City,
Miss., or Rev. C. L. Crump, Ben-
ton [Benton], Miss.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>WALTERBORO', S. C., March 14, 1866.
MR. EDITOR -- I feel that I am under some obligations to write you a few lines of matters and things of interest to your readers. I have been a soldier in the U. S. service for two years and nine months, and I have always tried to serve my country faithfully. And that now my term of service is about to expire, I wish to spend the balance of my life as a free and intelligent citizen of the United States, [and] think I may now have some claim to that distinction. The laborer is worthy of his hire, and I have labored to uphold the Government; and now think the Government should do something for me. I am a human being and thence-forth want to be considered as such.
It has been said that a negro cannot make a living without having a master to drive him. I made a living when I was a boy, and had no one to drive me to work, or to tell me when to stop. I am now twenty-one years old, and if I cannot stand alone, and make a living, I deserve to starve. Give the colored man a fair chance and an open field, and he will not only support himself, but help to support others.

Dear Editor -- I wish to inquire for my kinfolks, mother, sister and brother. The last time I saw them was 1861. They belonged to Mrs. Harris the widow of Mr. John Harris in Lebanon, Mo. Mothers name is Christenia. She was married but I did not know her husband's name, as oldest brother Frank and I belonged to Mr. John T. Smith. I heard that Frank went to St. Louis and joined the army and died there. One of my younger brothers is Andrew Jackson. My other brother and sisters names I have forgotten. I only passed through there and saw them once. I have written letters but could not hear from them. I heard that they were sent to Texas, but I don't know where. I belonged to Mr. John T. Smith, at that time, and I went by the name of George Smith. George W. Lenox Little Rock, Ark.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE
Henry Tolliver, a leading citi-
zen [citizen], living at 1413 Fremont street
is about to start on a trip to
Leavenworth, Kans., to visit his
aged father, whom he has not
seen since he was sold on the
slave block over a half century
ago, at the age of 9 years. The
father is a man of remarkable age
and according to a son who
recently visited here, has seen 127
summers.
Henry Tolliver, when but a boy
of 9, was sold on a southern auct-
ion [auction] block in Davis County, Mis-
souri [Missouri]. This was the last he saw
of his parent. He ran away from
his master about the time of the
outbreak of the war and came to
Des Moines. He enlisted in the
sixteenth United States colored
infantry, served through the war
and then came back to Des Moines
and has since lived here. He is
now a man of 64 years and the
story of how he learned again of
the whereabouts of his father
reads like a romance.
A short time ago a colored man
—a tramp—came to Mr. Tolli-
ver’s [Tolliver's] home on Fremont street.
Mrs. Tolliver gave him some-
thing [something] to eat. The visitor asked
her name. Mrs. Tolliver told
him. He said he knew an old
man of that name living at
Leavenworth and that he was
known as Alfred Tolliver. Mrs.
Tolliver said at once this was the
name of her husband’s father.
Mr. Tolliver was working south
of the river at the time. Mrs.
Tolliver kept the stranger until
her husband returned, and the
latter, after making minute in-
quiries [inquiries], was assured he had at
last discovered the whereabouts
of his father. He wrote to Leav-
enworth [Leavenworth] for confirmation and re-
ceived [received] a reply that removed all
doubt on the subject.
Early this week Mr. Tolliver
was visited by his brother Alex-
ander [Alexander] of Tonganoxie, Kans. The
two brothers had not met since
1862. From his brother Mr. Tol-
liver [Tolliver] learned that his father was
in good health and was able to
walk about. He has planned to
leave for Levenworth in a short
time and there will doubtless be
a family reunion well worth wit-
nessing [witnessing].
While Alexander Tolliver was
here this week the two brothers
called on Capt. Amos Brandt at
the state house and told him their
remarkable story. Mr. Henry
Tolliver had a son in Captain
Brandt’s company of colored
taoops in the Spanish-American
war.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR: I desire to inquire for my brothers James and Rufus. Rufus I left on the Franklin pike, about seven miles from Louisville, Ky., with Sherman's army. He was in the 30th Indiana regiment, third division, 14th army corps, and waiting on Capt. Jordan. I think the Captain lives in Indianapolis. Rufus belonged to Jack Mound, in Jonesboro, Ga. He had three brothers and one sister, Ella, Isaac, Ben, and James. Father was Thomas Allen, who belonged to Matilda Allen, a widow. James Allen left Chattanooga in 1860, for Atlanta, Ga., and I have not heard from him since. I suppose he went out West.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR: I desire to inquire for my brothers James and Rufus. Rufus I left on the Franklin pike, about seven miles from Louisville, Ky., with Sherman's army. He was in the 30th Indiana regiment, third division, 14th army corps, and waiting on Capt. Jordan. I think the Captain lives in Indianapolis. Rufus belonged to Jack Mound, in Jonesboro, Ga. He had three brothers and one sister, Ella, Isaac, Ben, and James. Father was Thomas Allen, who belonged to Matilda Allen, a widow. James Allen left Chattanooga in 1860, for Atlanta, Ga., and I have not heard from him since. I suppose he went out West.
ISAAC ALLEN,
Chattanooga, Tenn,

Do You Know Him ?
I desire to know the whereabouts of
my father, Carter Bray. He was with
McClellan's army in 1862. He had two
sisters and two brothers, but all are
dead.
I am the only one living of three
sons. He was born 25 miles west of
Ashland, Hanover County, Va., and was
owned by a woman, named Betsy Kimbrough.
His sister Anna Bray saw him last
on the government boat at Yorktown.
His relatives were two sisters, Dolly
and Anna and brothers, Bartlett and
Banks; two sons, Henry and Andrew,
all of whom are dead.
Any information will be thankfully
received by
ISAAC BRAY,

DEAR EDITOR --- I wish to inquire
for my brother Jeff Crannell. He
left this place in 1874. He wrote
to me from Sabinal, Uvalde county
Texas, after that he went to Waresville,
and sent me his photograph and
asked for mine. I sent it to him in
1879. He said he was going to
Arkansas. Whether he went or not
I do not know. He was in government
service at Sabinal, is a man
about 23 years of age. His old
father, Henry Crannell, had only
two boys, and left us to go to the
Yankees in Louisiana. Brother was
4 years, and I was 2 1/2 years old then.
Address, J. C. CRANNELL.
Hallettsville, Texas.
