<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Mr. Editor : Please inquire for my people. My name is Edward Hudson. I was born in Russell county, Ala., in 1855, but was raised in Columbus, Ga. My mother, aunt and two uncles, belonged to a family named Hooper, who formerly lived in Crawford, Ala., and removed to Opelika. My father, Richard Hudson, emigrated from Columbus, Ga., to Liberia, in 1867. My mother's two brothers, Moses and Ike Hudson, were last seen by me in Columbus, about 1870. I had a half brother named Richard Hudson, Jr. My mother's sister, Mary Ann Sheridan, and her husband, Green Sheridan, were last seen by me in Taylor county, Ga., in 1875. I saw Louis Flournoy, a relative of my father, in Talbotton, Ga., in 1875. After teaching school in Talbot county, Ga., for four years, I emigrated to Mississippi, in 1876, and thus got entirely lost from my already scattered relatives. Failing afterwards to learn of their whereabouts, after repeatedly writing to them, confirmed my belief that they too had emigrated, or are dead. I forgot to say that my mother, Jane Ray, died in 1871. My stepfather's name was Henry Ray. Any person acquainted with the whereabouts of any of these

I have never seen them, but for the sake of my old grandmother, who wishes so much to hear from her children, I publish this. My grandmother's name is Mary Carson. Her oldest son was named Simon Moore. Her four daughters were, Matilda Garson, Charity Hill, Irene Dillard, and Mollie Carson. Last heard of Simon Moore was in Texas, in 1866. Last heard of Mollie she was near Black Hawk, Miss. Charity was in Lousianna, and Irene was in Vicksburg, Miss. Address J. W. Mabry, Shrock, Attalla county, Miss.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Mr. Editor: Please inquire through your paper about my kinfolk. My name is John William Sheppard. My mother's name is Millie Sheppard, and my father's name is William Sheppard. Mother's maiden name was Millie
Chivers, and grandmother's maiden name was Hannah Chivers. Her
oldest child was Billie, and the next was Mary. I don't know which was next, but I do remember one of my aunt's names, Mamie, and she had two boys. Their names were Bob and Ned. They were carried off with aunt Mamie, their mother, and sold. All of these names, and several others of
my aunts and their children, use to belong to Joel M. Chivers, in Troup county, Ga., and were sold five or six years before the late war. Mother was the baby child, and uncle Jack was the next youngest. Chivers never did sell
him. He was carried to Louisiana, worked on the railroad about two or three years, and was then brought back to Georgia. Uncle David was a shoemaker. He was sold too, with a large crowd of people from our plantation, too many to mention. Grandmother's name was Hannah. My uncles were named Billie, David and Jack. My aunts were named Mary, Nannie, my mother, and Millie. I don't know the names of mother's other
sisters. All of these lived in Troup county, Ga. I am my mother's oldest child. Please address me at Wedowell, Ala.
