A. B. Dickson searching for his grandparents Austin and Dilsa Dixon and the three children they were traveling with, Caroline, Vigil, and William

MN. Editor-Allow me to in-
quire for my people. I left them
in Rutherford, Tenn, in 1849. They
belonged to D. C. Dement; he died
and they were sold to James Flem-
ing. Their names were Austin
Dixon and Dilsia Dixon. They had
three children with them, Caroline,
Virgil and William. The last I
heard of them they were living with
Joseph Dement in Carroll county,
Tenn., in 1869. The latter were my
grandmother and grandfather. My
mother's name is Mary Jane Ford,
their daughter. I was brought to
Mississippi in 1850 by Lucinda
Dement. I was called Beriah
Dement at that time. Since then
my name is changed to A. B. Dick-
son. Address me, care of Rev. N.
Pearce, Yazoo City, Miss.
