I was sold from Longay county to John Appywhite, who brought me to Little Rock, Ark., and sold me to one Vancourt. I had a sister, Clarasie Gildan. I was brought to Texas by Mr. Van- court. I last heard from my moth- er at Helena, Ark., with my broth- er Jasper. Send information either to me at 665 Crockett street, or to Rev. M. Henson, P.C., St. Paul M. E. Church, San Antonia, Texas.
