Mr. Editor:- I desire information of the following named relatives: My mother's named Maria, belonged to Perry Starks in Louisville, Ky.; my brother's named Zachariah Taylor; my sister named Dollie Ann - all belonged to Perry Starks. My sister Mary we left her in Virginia. I think she belonged to a Mr. Carter at the time. We parted in Charlottesville. We were sold there from the Eade's estate, as well as I can recollect. My sister Sarah she belonged to Terry Graves in Fayette, Mo. She and I went to Missouri together. In a short time after I was sold again; and to the present time I have been unable to learn anything from them or their whereabouts. I am the oldest boy, and was about three years of age at the time of our separation. I am about 35 years old now. I hope brother preachers will take an interest in my inquiry and help me find my relatives. Address. REV. J.J. TURNER. Abilene, Taylor Co., Texas, Lock Box 21. Feb. 19-6m
