Henry Harris searching for his mother Charity and three brothers Dennis, Charles, and Tom

MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my people. Mother was named Charity; she had three sons besides me; the oldest of the boys was Dennis, next Charles, next myself, Henry, and Tom, the youngest, at that time. We belonged to Dr. Harris, and lived in Abbeville district, S. C., near a little town called Mount Campbell. My mother was sold to a speculator about the year 1855, and left us with Dr. Harris. In a few years my brothers were sold from me. In 1859 John Harris, a son of the Doctor, brought me to Alabama, and sold me to Tom Nelms in 1860. The next year he brought me to Lexas, where I am now. The last I heard from my mother she was sold on Red River. Address me at Pennington, Trinity county, Texas. HENRY HARRIS.
