MR. EDITOR: ---- I wish to inquire for my kindred left in Alabama. Father and mother were Charles and Presciila [Precilla] Bradford. Brothers were Charles, Henry and Webster: sisters Patheney, Emma and Joan. All belonged to Mr. Bradford, except John who was sold to Bill Thomas. Bradford sold me to Mc-McKinney ; he had a person and I whipped him and was run to Texas on that account. His name was Capt. White. I was brought to Texas by Will Chappel, son-in-law of Har-
ris McKinney. I have been in Texas 32 or 33 years and have not seen any of my people. I heard that brother Charles Henry was in Mobile Ala. Address me at Cedar Creek, Texas. DAVID YOUNG.
