MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire for father. He use to belong to a man by the name of A. Holman. He was sold when I was quite young from Overton county, Ten- nessee. I am 33 years old, that would make me born in 1848. My mother, his wife, at that time was named Annie Holman. She had 10 children, I was the tenth. My father was 3 or 4 years before the war in Mississippi, near Carollton, Carroll county. His name is John. He named me after himself. My name is John Hall Holman, and was raised on Obays river, 3 miles from Calina, Tennessee. I would be glad to find my father. Address me Richmond, Fort Bend county, Texas. J. H. HOLMAN.
