MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my people, viz: father's name was Plenty McKeniers; my mother's name was Lydia Buchanan.; she is dead. I had two sisters, viz: Eliza and Ellen Buchanan; one brother named Edmund, who was hung for killing May Buchanan, his master. One aunt on mother's side named Betsy Buchanan, one uncle named Phil. Father and his kin belonged to a Mr. McKevier, who moved to the State of Georgia. I don't know what part of Georgia. Mother and her children belonged to the Buchanans. His daughter, Miss Elizabeth, married Jim Fautner and drew me, (Cornelia,) sister Ellen and mother, also cousin Phillips Jim Fautner moved us and his family to the State of Missississippi, where mother died; then J. Fautner moved back to North Carolina, where Mrs. Elizabeth Fautner, Mrs. Buchanan, still lived. Gus or Ben Buchanan drew sister Eliza and a cousin of mine named Caroline, a bright mulatto girl, myself and sister Ellen went with mother; also a cousin Phillip. The last I heard of father he was in the State of Georgia. There is some indications that father is in Texas. I don't know if its true or not; if so he is near Hempstead, Waller Co., Texas. When we were at home in North Carolina we lived near Wadesboro, Anson Co., N. C. I was so young I cannot remember what year this was, but it was before the war I am a poor widow with nine children. Please address me in care of Rev. W. Hartley Jackson, box 46, Bellville, Austin Co., Texas. MRS. CORNELIA EDWARDS.
