San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 22, 1878. Editor SOUTHWESTERN : Please publish my inquiry for friends. My mother's name was Mary Glover, father's Squire West. They belonged to a man named Bladburn. My sister, Lucy Nelson, belonged to Tom Bladburn; my brothers Brooks and Wilson West belonged to the same owner. My name was Minnie West. I was sold from home when a little girl about 16 years old to Henry H. Collins by Burbridge Bladburn. My parents were living in Lexington and Frankfort, Kentucky. Yours truly LUCY HARDEN.
