J. D. Haskell searching for his mother, father, sisters, and brothers
MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my people, mother, father, sisters and brothers. Father was Sam Hampton, and belonged to a Mr. Hampton, who lived seven miles East of Huntington. Mother was Mary Bledsoe, and belonged to Yancey Bledsoe. They lived in West Tennessee. Brothers—Henry Clay, Judge (my name), Nicodemus, James, Bradley, Paney, Brown, the youngest. Sisters—Harriet Ann, Rebecca Jane, Edie Ann and Julia. We belonged to Yancey Bledsoe. I was brought to Texas in 1851 by my owner; he came the third time from Tennessee, and then sold me to George Holman. I used to correspond with them, but suddenly I failed to hear from them any more until about four years ago I heard they were in Kansas. I am now in Columbus, Texas, and go by the name of J. D. Haskell. Address me, care of Rev. W. H. Davis, box 35.
