I desire information concerning my kindred. Our family belonged to Mr. John C. Paine, in Louisiana. My father's name was Randall and my mother's Celia. I had four brothers, Levi, William, Leonard and Warren; one sister named Elvira, but usually called Puss, and one named Hannah. The family had the name of Paine, but since they were free may have changed it. I was separated from the family in 1857, when I was five years old, being brought to Texas by my young mistress whose name was Florida, and who had married a Mr. John Baily. Address, care Rev. Paul Douglass, Galveston, Texas, Sarah Williams, (formerly Sarah Bailey).
