  I wish to inquire for my people through your paper.  I left my father in McGavelia county, Va., near Richmond.  His name was Frederick Pryor.  My mother's name was Betsey Pryor.  I had a sister named Edward.  I do not remember who my brother was sold to.  I was sold to a man named James Makel, in 1834, and he brought me out here with him to Austin, Texas.  Any information concerning my relatives will be gladly received by me.  Address Frederick Pryor, care of S. Smith, Austin, Texas.
