DEAR EDITOR—I wish to make an effort, through your columns, to find my relatives from whom I have been separated many long years. My name is Alfred; I was owned by Lawyer Abraham Venable, Granville Co., North Carolina, 15 miles from Oxford, the county seat. My mother’s name was Pinkey; brothers’, Monroe, Madison, Wil- liam, Doctor, Alexander, Joshua and Daniel Russell. Sister’s name was Julia Smiley. I left them in 1838, moved with Jackson Gilmore to Chatham county. Jackson Gil- more married Phoebe Chandler and I married her maid, Agnes, who was a widow with two children named Sallie Ann and Eleanor. I left these children in Moore county, Pinky, William Monroe in 1844, Erasmus, Overby, Alvis Grosse, then I went to Randolph county with Billy Laughlin, and there were born unto us Josiah Greenbury, Doctor Edward Clark, William Postell, Julia Ann Panthea. In In 1854 I moved to Lexington, Davidson Co, N. C. There Milton Wolf was born unto us. In 1859 I

moved to Mississippi, leaving all
behind me excepting Milton. Ad-

dress me at Yazoo City, Miss., Box
