DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my kin people whom I left in Franklin County, Tennessee. I was brought to Texas in the winter of 1854, and left mother, two brothers, and a sister in Tennessee. In the spring of 1857 mother died. Her name was martha, and she belonged to Elijah B. Rakin; my oldest brother Oscar belonged to John Miller, the next, Moses to Hayden March; the youngest, William to Jefferson Moore. Sister Betsy belonged to John Hiter, and was brought to Crockett, Texas when I was ten years old. Sister Rose was was sold out to the Moore family, and was carried to Memphis and I heard that she was living in Limestone county, Miss. The youngest was Mary Jane Ragan. Address me at Hallettsville, Texas. Sam Grant.
