Mr. Editor—I wish to inquire for my lost friends, father and mother, sisters and brothers. My father's name was Zeales Butler; my mother's name was Mariah Winkfield; she married Zeales But- ler, and she fell to Dr. Johnnie Winkfield, who married Caroline Gypson. My name was Clarissa; I fell to a Methodist preacher then known as Lucius Deyampert; he married Nancy Offleten Winkfield; he carried me to South Carolina and from there to Alabama, where I still remain. I had three brothers as follows: Moses, Jordan and Jack the eldest, who was lame with the white swelling. Brother Moses belonged to the widow Winkfield, but afterwards fell to old Joshua Glynn, a Methodist preacher. Jor- dan fell to Garland Winkfield. My eldest sister's name was Patience; I heard she was dead. My young- est sister was Margaret. Pastors will please read this from their pulpits. Address Rev. J.C. Read, Wedowee, Ala.
