DEAR EDITOR: I desire to inquire through the SOUTHWESTERN for my brothers. I have two brothers, their names are Columbus and Alex Jones. The last time I heard from them was in 1868; they were both living in Tennessee; Columbus in Franklin, and Alexander in Nashville. The whole family belonged to Gabriel Jones, in Floyd County, Ga. My name is Rachael and my sister's Angeline. Sister and I were sold to a Negro trader named Joe Norris. Mother's name is Harriet, and father's name is Allen Jones. Columbus and Alex served as solders in the federal army and when mustered out both settled in Tennessee. Their whereabouts will be thankfully received by a very anxious sister.
