MR. EDITOR - I wish to inquire,
through your valuable paper, for
my relatives, viz: Mother, sister
and brother. My mother belonged
to Betsy Anderson, who married a
man by the name of Minor Smith.
I left her about thirty years ago
for Texas. My sister's name was
Martha Jane, she belonged to the
widow Jennings who, I heard, died
shortly after I left. I was brought
to Texas by David Nealy and have
not heard from either since I left
them. They were both then living
not far from DeKalb, Kemper county,
Miss. Mother with the widow
Smith, and sister with the widow
Jennings. My brother's name was
George Hunley, his wife's name
was Mimy Hunley; he was taken
from Mississippi by Dr. Hunley
and Judget Marshall. Also my wife
desires to know the whereabouts of
her sons John and Madison. She
left them with Jim Harrold, near
Macklemoseville, Tenn, some time
before the war; she was brought
to Texas by Robert Barbee, after a
stay of one year in Texas was
returned to Tennessee, remained
there one year, then brought to
Texas again; have not seen her
children since she left Tennessee
second time, her name was then
Penny Barbee. Any information
relative to the above named relatives
will be very thankfully appreciated.
JILES HUNLEY.
Crockett, Houston county, Texas.
