Becky Henry (formerly Becky Huff) searching for her sister Liza Tracy

MR. EDITOR-- I desire to in-
quire [inquire] for my sister. She left us, in
Georgia, two miles from Alla-
toona [Allatoona]. She left this place and
went to the iron works to the man
who she belonged to, named Bird
Tracy. This was the last time I
heard from her, and was in the year
1855. At this time she went by the
name of Liza Tracy. Tracy bought
her from Leonard Huff. We all
belonged to Huff. My mother's
name is Lean Huff, father's Sam
Huff; I am the oldest daughter; my
mame was Becky Huff; next oldest
was Liza Huff, who is now absent
from us; next oldest brother Aaron;
next, Vina Huff, next Mariontime
Huff, next Valentine Huff; next,
Amelia Huff; next, Frank Huff;
next, Tennessee Huff. There were
nine of us, but sister Liza is absent.
When Leonard Huff brought us to
Texas we came to Caldwell county,
in the year 1856; we have been here
ever since. I am married now, and
go by the name of Becky Henry. I
married since the emancipation. If
any one knows anything about her
please address me at Luling, Texas,
Caldwell county, in care of Samuel
Huff. BECKY HENRY.
