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
