W. H. Jackson searching for his uncle Jonah Hartley

DEAR EDITOR—I am seeking the whereabouts of my Uncle Jonah Hartly. Mr. Edwin A. Glover bought him from his first owner, Capt. Hartly, and brought him to Texas. Uncle being very sickly, and unable to work, he sent him back to Alabama, Marengo Co., about one year before emancipation. He left his wife here. Her name is Mary Ann. My mother, Jonah's sister, is named Sear, and my father's name is Frank Jackson. Preachers and readers, sympathize with me in my search for my uncle, Jonah Hartly, and if found, address me at San Felipe, Austin Co., Texas. W. H. Jackson
