MR. EDITOR--I want to inquire for my friends that I left in Prince Edward county, VA., when I was sold away from there forty years ago. My mother's name was Amy. She belonged to Josiah Cheedle, but in the devision [division] of the property she went to Mr. Alman, and also took my brother Peter. My brother Nelson and I were sold to Wm. Harbert, and brought to Colorado county, Texas. My sister Lucy was sold to a speculator by the name of Hagar, at Richmond, Va. I left my sister Caroline with Josiah Cheedle. She had three children. If either of these brothers or sisters see this notice they will confer a great favor on me by writing to me at Alleyton, Colorado co., Texas. Address, Henry Harbert, care of Martha Harbert.
