<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Reunion of Father and Lost Child.
</p><p>Pueblo, Col., April 12.- After seventeen years of search the daughter of James Davidson, now city marshal of Parsons, Kansas, has been found in this city. Davidson and his wife were separated nearly twenty years ago, and since that time the husband has been unable to obtain any trace of his then 2-year-old child. He advertised for her and a paper containing one of his advertisements fell into the hands of Miss Lena Davidson, who lives with her mother and stepfather at 411 Spring street. The advertisement was at once recognized as that of the husband and father.
</p><p>Miss Davidson and her father have communicated with each other by telegraph and the result is that she has started for Parsons.

<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

<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
</p></div>
<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>parties will confer a great favor by writing to me at once, and if my father, Richard Hudson, has returned home from Liberia, please write me word, also, as I don't know whether he is dead or living. I dream of him so much.
Yours, etc.,
CHAS. E. HUDSON.
Falsonia, Miss.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR—I was raised in Albermarle county, Virginia, and I belonged to Clifton Brown, a Methodist preacher. He had three sons Taze, Thomas and William. William was the youngest. He had two daughters, Virginia and Susan Brown. Virginia married George Terril. My old boss gave me to his daughter Virginia when she married, and her husband sold me in Charlotteville, Virginia, to a speculator who brought me to Mississippi. I left my father., Isaac Jamison, in Charlotteville and my mother with my old boss. Her name was Peggy Brown. I had four sisters, Manda, Sally, Martha and Linda. Manda was sold before I left, Linda was a child by father's first wife. I had four brothers, Allen, Minor, Kenley and Tarry—the last named being first wife's sons. My name was Caroline Brown, but is now Caroline Hogan. Address me at Starkville, Miss., care of Rev. Warren McDonald.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my people. I was raised in Albermarle county, Virginia. I belonged to Clifton Brown, a Methodist preacher. After one of the daughters married a Mr. Teril my old boss gave me to them. So Teril, by way of debt, sold me to a speculator in Charlottesville, Va. I was sold again and brought to Mississippi, where I now live. I left my father in Charlottesville, Va. His name was Isaac Jimerson. I left my mother with my old boss. Her name was Peggy Brown. I had four sisters that were grown--Mandy, Sally, Martha, and Linda. Mandy was sold before I left Virginia, and Linda was my father's first wife's child. I had four brothers--Allen, Miner, Kenly, and Tarry; the last two that I named were my father's first wife's sons. My name was Caroline Brown, but it changed since marriage.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Mr. Editor--By reading the SOUTHWESTERN some time in April, I saw an inquiry of a woman who said she was moved by John P. Crump, who lived within fifteen miles of Richmond, Virginia. That was my old master's name; all of my kin people came from that way somewhere. It may be some of my grandmother's or grandfather's people. My grandfather was Providence; grandmother, Cheney; mother, Jennie. I had three uncles, and all died but one--named Nelson. My father was Peter, and came from Tennessee. He belonged to a Mr. Harris. He had a wife and four children there, three boys and one girl. The oldest was Carroll. He named me after him. Father was a Methodist preacher, and the father of six children, by mother. Three of us are Methodist preachers. Jesse Nevils took him off to Mississippi bottom before the war, and he died.

<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>MR. EDITOR— I desire information of my daughter, two sisters and one brother. My daughter's name was Ellen Brince; sisters' Harriet and Mariah; brother's, Harrison. They all belonged to Samual Brince. I left my people
in Barren Co., Kentucky, near Glasco, and have not heard from them since. I was brought to Mississippi a year before the war by Si Hutchinson. My husband was named Cornelius Brince. He went to Kentucky the first week
in December 1862, expecting to find his daughter, Ellen, but was not successful. He was informed that she had gone to St. Louis, so he returned to Mississippi in May 1863. He was taken sick with the small pox and died. Since the death of my husband I have married Jordan Camack. I hope the dear friends in St. Louis and other places will sympathize with me in my
search. Any information will be thankfully received. Address me at Jackson, Miss., care of Miss Nellie V. Carter.

<p>MR. EDITOR— I desire information of my daughter, two sisters and one brother. My daughter's name was Ellen Brince; sisters' Harriet and Mariah; brother's, Harrison. They all belonged to Samual Brince. I left my people in Barren Co., Kentucky, near Glasco, and have not heard from them since. I was brought to Mississippi a year before the war by Si Hutchinson. My husband was named Cornelius Brince. He went to Kentucky the first week in December 1862, expecting to find his daughter, Ellen, but was not successful. He was informed that she had gone to St. Louis, so he returned to Mississippi in May 1863. He was taken sick with the small pox and died. Since the death of my husband I have married Jordan Camack. I hope the dear friends in St. Louis and other places will sympathize with me in my search. Any information will be thankfully received. Address me at Jackson, Miss., care of Miss Nellie V. Carter. AMERICA CAMACK</p>
