Mrs. Mary Jane Randolph searching for her mother Mary Ann McMullen, father Rich, and siblings

MR. EDITOR—My father's name was Rich, but was called Bob. He was a free colored man. My mother's name was Mary Ann McMailen. There were seven children of us: Mary Jane, General, Louisa, Millie, Andrew, Lucinda and Sammie. I think we were separated from mother and father at Alexandria, La., bought by a man named Dempsey, who was killed shortly after in Alexandria. My father was off at the time that we were taken away. He went off with a herd of cattle. I also had an uncle by the name of Joe, and one by the name Sam Gandy, who was at the time a Methodist preacher. I am the oldest of the children. Any one that will give me any information about the above named persons will be so thankfully received. Please address me at Waco, Tex., in care of Rev. J. T. Gibbons, box 65. Mrs. Mary Jane Randolph.
