MR. EDITOR-- Please allow me space in your consolating paper once more to inquire for the whereabouts of my father's relatives, whom he left in Virginia. He said he left them when quite young, about 16 years old I suppose; he left his people in Richmond, Va.; was sold to traders and brought to New Orleans, La., and sold to a man by the name of A. G. Jordan, who he served until freedom, who farmed on Red River lands at a village now known as Allen, 7 or 8 miles from the river, 5 miles from Spanish lake. He has not seen or heard of any of his people since he left Richmond. He said there were four brothers of them, and three sisters, whose names were as follows: John, James or Jessie and himself, William Price; don't remember his sisters' names. My father has been dead four years; I was not with him when he died; but when he left me he told me to inquire until I found his people. He also left a father and mother in Virginia. Address D. J. Price, Fortson, La.
