Caesar King (formerly Caesar Dent) searching for his wife and children

MR. EDITOR: -- I wish to inquire
for my wife and children left in
Alabama, Tuscaloosa county, 1860.
The names of them are John Calvin,
Joshua and Wine. My wife's old-
est [oldest] child was Linzy, and their moth-
er [mother] Annie. Our owner's name was
Pinkney Frisom. My name was
Caesar Dent. The last time I heard
of them they were at the Maples, in
Marengo county, Alabama, 70 miles
from where I left them. I am a
traveling preacher, and have re-
tired [retired] on account of weak lungs,
aged 55 years. I should be glad to
hear from my friends before I die.
My name is now CAESAR KING.
