John Bothwell searching for his father John and siblings James, Dan, and Mariana Edley

I desire to inquire for my people, whom I left in Alabama in 1859. My father's name is John; he was commonly called big John. Mother was named Judie; she died in 1860. There were five children of us, four boys and one girl. The boys were Horace, James, Dan and John. I think all of their surnames were Edley. Brother Horace died in 1866. Sister's name is Mariana. Pa belonged to Dr. Bothwell, who sold him to a Mr. Whistnan, who lived in Ashville, St. Clair county, Ala. I was brought to Texas by John Whistnan. Information concerning any of them will be thankfully received by John Bothwell, care of Rev. F. Cary, Marshall, Tex.
