Augustus Hughes searching for his family
DEAR EDITOR--I wish to in-
quire [inquire] for my relatives. Father
was Origa Jackson, mother Martha
Borden. She died just before the
close of the war, and belonged to
Freeman Hughes, within 15 miles
of Selumon, Ala. I left father in
Marion, Ala., in 1866, when quite
a boy, and went to Bryan to my
grandmother. In 1867 my former
owner, Hughes, came to Bryan and
carried me back to his farm in
Perry county. The same year he
died, and his widow sold out and
came to Texas, and I came with
her. My name is Augustus Hughes.
Sister is Mary Jackson; her father
is Howard Jackson. I left them all
in Morgan, Ala., in 1867, and have
not heard of them since. My father
was living with Mr. Wood; his wife
was cooking for Wood, and he was
striking in the blacksmith shop.
Address me at Anderson, Texas, in
care of Rev. F. Gilmore.
AUGUSTUS HUGHES.
