MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire for my uncle through your paper. His name is Philip Morton. He was born in Georgia, on Beaver Dam Creek, in Green county. He belonged to Robert Rea. He lived there until he was five years old, after which he came to Alabama. When eighteen years old, he was brought to Arkansas by Thomas Oliver. The overseer's name was Anderson Bussey, who lived in Columbia county, about 14 miles southwest of Magnolia, near Mat- thew's old store. He belonged to Cornelius Rea. His parents used to go by the name of Rea, but their names have since been changed to Joseph and Alzaro Morton. He has only one sister. Her name was Sarah Ann. She married a man by the name of Nelson Holston, but his name has since been changed to Hayman. He left two years before the Civil War closed; also another man left with him, by the name of Shug Rea. Any one finding the above mentioned, will greatly oblige by addressing me at Sharman, Columbia county, Ar- kansas. G. W. HAYMAN.
