MR. EDITOR— I wish to inqurire for my wife and children, whom I left in Claiborne Co., Miss, 17 1/2 miles from Port Gibson. We used to belong to Dr. Foster in 1863. Me and my wife parted about seven years before the war, but we still lived on the same place. I was sent from there to Morgan's Salt Works and I stayed there five months. I was carried there by a Mr. William Cheeks. After that I came to State Line, Miss. I had 7 children, 3 dead and 4 living the last time I saw them. I will give the names of my living children— Dolphin, David, Caroline and Louisa. My wife was named Eliza Foster. I am a minister of the Baptist church. If any one knows anything of them please address me at State Line, Miss. REV. BENJAMIN FOSTER.
