Information Wanted.

John Shackelford, a freedman, now living at Murfreesboro, Tenn. wishes to learn something of his mother, brother, and six sisters, who were formerly slaves of Col. George Shack-elford, of Amherst county, Va., about 3 miles from Lynehburg. He has heard nothing from them since 1846, when he was taken to Murfreesboro. He has recently learned through Lieut. Stevenson, stationed at Lynch-burg, in charge of the Freedmen's Bureau, that Col. Shackelford died in 1858 and freed his slaves, and that they removed to Ohio some four years afterwards. John's mother's name was Caroline, his brother's Sam, and his sisters were named respectively Farley, Frances, Mary, Grace, Caroline and Julia Ann.

Any person knowing anything of the family, will greatly oblige John Shackelford, by addressing him a line, in care of Capt. Joseph K. Nelson, Agent of hte Freedmen's Bureau, Murfreesboro, Tenn.
