MR. EDITOR - I want to find my brothers Calvin and Joseph; we all used to belong to Levi Wade, who then lived 7 miles west of Murfreesboro, in Rutherford county, Tennessee. He sold Bro. Calvin to a trader in 1857 by the name of Frank Eallem, and Bro. Joseph went off with the Federal army, I think it was in 1862. Our mother's name was Rachel and father's was Enoch; both belonged to Wade, and my name is Jacob Wade. Any information will be gladly received. Address me at Cook[undecipherable} county, Tennessee, J. A. C. Wade.
