Alfred Yancey searching for his relatives, including his wife Phoebe Chandler
DEAR EDITOR—I wish to make
an effort, through your columns, to
find my relatives from whom I have
been separated many long years.
My name is Alfred; I was owned
by Lawyer Abraham Venable,
Granville Co., North Carolina, 15
miles from Oxford, the county seat.
My mother’s name was Pinkey;
brothers’, Monroe, Madison, Wil-
liam [William], Doctor, Alexander, Joshua
and Daniel Russell. Sister’s name
was Julia Smiley. I left them in
1838, moved with Jackson Gilmore
to Chatham county. Jackson Gil-
more [Gilmore] married Phoebe Chandler and
I married her maid, Agnes, who
was a widow with two children
named Sallie Ann and Eleanor. I
left these children in Moore county,
Pinky, William Monroe in 1844,
Erasmus, Overby, Alvis Grosse,
then I went to Randolph county
with Billy Laughlin, and there were
born unto us Josiah Greenbury,
Doctor Edward Clark, William
Postell, Julia Ann Panthea. In
In 1854 I moved to Lexington,
Davidson Co, N. C. There Milton
Wolf was born unto us. In 1859 I
moved to Mississippi, leaving all
behind me excepting Milton. Ad-
