for my relations, whom I left in 1850, in Attala county, Miss. I left mother with Nelson McKinan. My oldest sister's name was Emily. I was too young to remember the balance. My youngest sister's name was Emma. I left her with my mother. My mother's name was Jane McKinan. My oldest brother was named Mark, and the youngest Harris. I left them in Holmes county, Miss., and came to Texas with Tom Allen, a son-in-law of Nellie McKinan. I think my people are at Memphis, Tenn. Ad- dress me at Pennington, Trinity Co., Texas.
