MR. EDITOR:--I desire to inquire for my people. I was separated from them when I was a small child. I left them in Montgomery county, Ala. I came to Texas with Sam Woodward; and when dividing out the property among the children, my youngest sister and I came to Texas. My mother named Meally, father was James Woodward, my oldest brother was Adam, one was Jim, another was Jessie, Jennie, Eliza and Maria. My sister Jennie is in Texas with me, and my name is Candis. They all belonged to Austin and Dave Woodward, and moved from there to Mississippi. Direct letters to me in care of Trinity M.E. Church, Houston, Texas. CANDIS BENTLEY.
