DEAR EDITOR - I wish to make inquiry for my mother, two sisters and brother. Mother was Diana Smith; sisters Silvie and Sarah; brother William. Father, Wm. Cousin, belonged Capt. Cousin in Georgetown, S. C. Mother left Charleston to go to Washington with Dr. Warren who married her young mistress, Mary Alston. Before she married I had an aunt Grace Monltrie in Charleston. She had two sons, Thomas and York. I had the small pox, caught it from my step-father, Charley Mackerel. When my mother left me at Charles-ton wharf I was 13 years of age. I am about 40 now. I was brought to Aberdeen, Miss., by Wm. Cox, the trader. Address me at Oktoc, Miss. JOE. WILLIAMS.
