Mr. Editor: "I wish to inquire through your valuable paper for the whereabouts of my two broth- ers [brothers], Washington and Andrew Dabbs. They and I are natives of Washington, Tenn. Is ante bel- lum [[antebellum]days brother Washington was sold to one Jos. Dabbs, whose name he thereafter bore (having borne the name Stephen prior thereto), and brother Andrew went with the soldiers after said sale. Mother's name was Nancy Wil- liams [Williams] (or better known as Steph- ens), who since has died in full triumph of faith. She belonged to Ed. Stephens, the Methodist preacher of Coer's Creek, Tenn. I was at Ed. Stephen's when Jos. Dabbs bought brother Washing- ton [Washington] and took him to his house, on the Murfreesboro Pipe, after which I left Tennessee with one I. F. Davis, and came directly to Louis iana [Louisiana]. I have not heard from any of them since I left the State. Any information of their whereabouts will be thankfully received by,

Yours respectfully,

ED WILLIAMS.
