MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my brothers and sisters whom I left in Roanoke county, Virginia, and their names are Dick, Steven, Joe, James, and Thornton, and the girls Annis, Sophia, Shelotte, Es- ter [Ester], and Elvia. My mother's name was Elvia, my father's name Thornton. The old man that mother and children belonged to was Billy McGeorge. Myself and Annis left Virginia with Jeffery Gauging and Margarette Gauging, and I came away from Virginia, and I had a child and his name was Thornton, and a boy came along too and his name was Ans tin [Anstin] Pate. My son Thornton Lock wood takes the paper and I very often hear him read of people in quiring for their friends, and will you please publish it in all the Southern States. I would like very much to hear from them. Address my son, Rev. T. H. Lock- wood [Lockwood], Warrenton, Mo., for Mrs. Annis Robinson.
