Mrs. Melvina Gilden, my mother, was left in Longcoy county, Ark., in 1863. She belonged to widow Gildan. Had brothers Jasper, the oldest, Alexander and Benjamin Franklin Gildan. I was sold from Longay county to John Appywhite, who brought me to Little Rock, Ark., and sold me to one Vancourt. I had a sister, Clarasie Gildan. I was brought to Texas by Mr. Vancourt. I last heard from my mother at Helena, Ark., with my brother Jasper. Send information either to me at 665 Crockett street, or to Rev. M. Henson, P.C., St. Paul M.E. Church, San Antonia, Texas.
