MR. EDITOR--After having been away from my people for a period of twenty-seven years, I wish to inquire, through your paper, for the Brents family, whom I left in Clark county, Va., near Millwood, in the year 1857; six in family, myself making seven; two sisters, two brothers, mother and father. My parents' names were Lewis and Louisa, brothers and sisters were Mathew and Spencer, Betsy, Elizabeth and Susan. I believe that Spencer was the name of the babe, his name is near out of my memory. My name is Hamp Morris. The family was raised by a man by the name of Col. James Belle; after whose death mother was sold to a merchant in business at Millwood by the name of James Clarke. My father never lived with the family, he lived in Winchester, where I was from, and brought to Mississippi by a man by the name of Showater. Since the time mentioned above I have never heard from them. Please read this in both Methodist and Baptist churches. Address me at King P. O., Rankin county, Miss. H. P. BRENT | |||
