Bennet Forest searching for his parents' relatives

MR. EDITOR––I desire to inquire
for my relatives. My mother left
all her relatives in Kentukcy. Her
father and mother were Bennet and
Deliley Johnson; her brothers were
Rolling, Elisha, Westley and Bob
Johnson, and also a brother named
Smith Bolett, by father; her aunts
were Betty and Sally; she left them
all in Cloverport, Ky. They all
belonged to Zeak Fisher, brother
of Clayton Fisher. My mother was
named, at that time, Sally Johnson;
she left her son in Elizabethtown,
Ky., ssven miles from Harding
county; before peace was declared
his name was Henry Clay Brown;
she used to belong to Thos. Brown,
brother of Elisha Brown, and her
name was at that time Sally Brown,
but is now Sarah Forrest. My
father, Hardy Forrest, now de-
ceased [deceased], left his relatives on Stan-
ley's Creek [Stanley’s Creek], Gaston county, North
Carolina. His parents were Sam-
uel [Samuel] and Lucy Forrest; brothers,
Moses, Orange, Jerry and Wart
Forrest and a sister named Mar
garet [Margaret] Forrest. My guardians, Geo.
and Sally Hunter, left the city about
fifteen years ago, and said they
were going to Norfolk, Va., but I
never heard from them. I am
anxious to hear from all my rela-
tives [relatives]. Ministers in Kentucky,
North Carolina and Virginia will
please read this from their pulpits.
Any information will be thankful-
ly [thankfully] received. Address, Chestnut,
