MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire for my friend's relations, whom she left in Mississippi, near Vicksburg; Lucinda Samuel is her name. Her relatives are: Mother, Phillis; father Blacksmith Ben; brothers, Jefferson Jefferson, Charles, Harris, and Preston; sisters, Polly, who was burned up, was the oldest, and Nancy; these are all the sisters that I know; if mother had any more I don't know them; uncles name was Shoemaker Ben. These all belonged to Jim Steward. I left them when 10 years old, and have not seen them in 50 or 55 years. I came off with Billie Wade; my name was Lucinda Wade when I came from Leon county to Matterson county, and from there to Texas. Please address Lucinda Samuel, Hockley, Texas, care Lewis Bunton.
