to Mr. Parker, a lawyer. His wife's
name was Lizzie, they had three
children, one boy and two girls,

names of my kin people as follows.
Father's name was Aaron, and
mother's Malinda. She died before
I left. Father married again, his
last wife's name was Serilda.
There was seven brothers of us.

Harry, Eddie, Dickery, John Wesley,

brothers. Tucker, and Gilbert.
Gilbert fell in the fire. Have five
sisters; Mary, she is dead, Fannie,
Bettie, Easter, and America.
Two uncles, Dan and Dick. I was
sold to a Mr. Blum Phillips, who
brought me to Texas. Father's last

any reader for information of their
whereabouts. Address me care of
