I wish to find my people whom I left when a small boy in time of the war. I lived in Virginia, near Irchais Court House. My name is Benjamin Colson, and I do not know what their names are. If any of them see this I would be glad to hear from them. Address Benjamin Colson, Morrow, St. Landry parish, La.
