MR. EDITOR— I desire to inquire for my mother's relatives whom she left in Montgomery, Ala., about twenty-six or twenty eight years ago. They belonged to a man named Joe Grant. He had two daughters; the oldest named Caroline, and the younger named Marshy. Caroline married a man named William Oliver; Marshy was unmarried at the time mother was sold When Joe Grant died my mother was sold to Pleasant Spear, and the other slaves were divided among their children. The day mother was sold her mother was there, and for a time did not recognize her, as her mother lived in town and my mother in the country. My mother's name is Tamar. Her mother's name was Maria, and her husband's name was Charles. When she left her mother had four children, of which mother is the oldest; their names were Oscar, Phillis and Elsie. Father was named Paris. He had two sisters named Nancy and Katy, and two brother's named George and Poldo. Father's sister, Katy, had two children named Barbara and Elizabeth. My mother still lives and is getting old and desires to hear from some of her people before parting this life, if possible. Any information of any of the above named people will be most thankfully received. Address Prof. D. M. Frias, Chilton Falls Co., Tex., or Rev. J. W. Robinson, Marlin, Texas.
