MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire through your columns for my fath- er [father], whose name was Clem Bennett. He was taken to some part of Texas by Mr. Brisco Bennett and Wm. Burnett, along with Aunt Minerva, Uncle Alex Richard and cousin Charles Burnett, from Mul- tan [Multan], Lowndes county, Miss., just before the war. My mother is Martha Shirley; she had three children, viz: myself, Roberta Ann, Laura Ann and Willis. Father married another woman named Martha. I can not remember any of the children but sister Hanah. I am a Weatherspoon by marriage. I guess father is dead, but I pre- sume [presume] some of his family is alive. Any information may be sent to me, Roberta Ann Witherspoon, at Centre Point, Howard Co., Ark.
