MR. EDITOR: I want to find my people: Father's name was Ben Mitchell or Ben Dotson, used to belong to Mr. Adam Richmond My mother died when I was so young that I don't remember her. Father then married again; his wife's name was Patience. She belonged to one Frank Burton. There were two children by my mother, myself (Jesse) and Sister Nancy and two by his wife Pa- tience [Patience], viz: Tom and Howard. They went by the name of Burton as their mother belonged to Bur- ton [Burton]. Curry bought us and after his death, his widow Julia A. Cur- ry [Curry] brought us to Texas. I left them at Yanceville, Castle County, North Carolina. If any reader of these lines chance to know any of them he will confer a favor upon me by informing me in care of Rev. W. Hartley, Jackson, P. C., Bell- ville [Bellville], Texas, Austin, Co., Box 46. JESSIE MITCHELL.
