DEAR EDITOR - I wish to find my children and my wife's people. There are two sets of my children. The first, three boy and four girls. Boys names are Tom, Silas, and Joe Thomas (Tom and Silas were twins); girls names, Lucy, Martha, Nancy, and Caroline Thomas. Their mother was Mary Fuller. They belonged to Fuller, Sinclair county, Alabama. The second set, three boys, Arneral, Stewart, and William Thomas; girls, Catherine, Mary, and Henrietta. Their mother was Maria Thomas. She belonged to James Thomson, Sinclair county, Alabama, twelve miles south of Ashville. My wife's people were: Father, Walton Harly; mother, Pamena Harly; brothers, Handy, Lewis, and two twin boys, Eugene and McDuffy; sisters, Hagar, Tan-gil, Johanna, Almelia, Virginia, and Pamen. They belonged to Captain Joe Harly, in Hamburg county, South Carolina, near Augusta, about nine miles on the Charleston road. We left father in South Caro-lina and went to Alabama. where we were all sold to a negro trader (Jackson), but mother was left at the trading house. My name then was Annie America Harly. I was ten years old and have never seen any of them since. Address me at Huntsville, Walker county, Texas.

SILAS THOMAS.
