Sarah Key (formerly Sarah Smith) searching for her family in Louisiana

MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire
for my people whom I left in Lou-
isiana [Louisiana] before the war. I had three
brothers named John Snowden,
Andrew Brown and Henry Wilson;
and one sister, Priscilla Brown.
Kin folks were Marie Johnson and
Francis Johnson. They all be-
longed [belonged] to Lord Cox in Ascension
parish. I was called Sarah Smith,
and belonged to Phillip Barton
Key. My mother and brother live
near the little town of Jefferson-
ville [Jeffersonville], La., and I have not heard
from them since I left there two
years after the war, One of my
sisters came out here, but she
went back. I now go by the name
of Sarah Key. Address me at
Bremond, Texas, care of Rev. W.
J. Mitchell.
