Jas. E. Shackleford (formerly James E. Harper) searching for his sister Julia

Mr. EDITOR --- This is to inquire for my sister Julia, whom I left in Arkansas, Union Couny, about two years before the termination of the war. She was the daughter of Eliza, and Jesse Harper. She having married a man whose name waa Tozey, a servant of Mr. McKinney, she was therefore sold to him, McKinney. But my parents and the following children were brought to Texas. Alfred, Lewis, Thomas, Harriett, Airlene, and myself. At this time we all belonged to a man by the name of Wyrett Harper. We all therefore were Harpers. But we go by the name of Shackelford, now. Address me at Clarksville, Texas.

JAS. E. SHACKELFORD.
