IMPORTANT INQUIRY. -- I, HENRY
Flood, of Philadelphia, Pa., a member
of Allen A.M.E Chapel, intend making
a visit to my original home and I desire to
find my people, from whom I have been
separated since the war. I was born in
Appomattox Co., Va, near where General
Lee surrendered. My father's name was
Wm, Flood ; my mother's name Charlotte.
Three brothers, Spencer Alexander and
Henry, the writer. Sisters Maria, Louisa,
Rose and Ann. The entire family were
slaves to one George Abbott. My brother
Spencer was killed by the falling of a tree.
My mother was sold into Manchester, Va.,
by Albert Cheatem, to whom she has fal-
len heir through his marriage to Eliza Ab-
bott. I got missed from my sister Maria at
City Point, Va., about two week after Lee's
surrender; have not seen any of them
since. Any information sent to Rev. L. J.
Coppin will be thankfully received. Ad-
dress Rev. L. J. Coppin, 1803 Fitzwater
street, Philadelphia, Pa.
