Silvey is my mother, Tom my uncle, Ellen and Queen my sisters, Henderson my brother and Caroline my aunt. They were sold to Billy Armstrong, and carried to Arkansas, leaving me in Bedford county, Tenn. I heard they left Arkansas and went to Texas. Address me at Aberdeem, Miss., care Rev. W. McDonald.
