DEAR EDITOR: I wish to inquire for my brother Alex Burns, who belonged to Ross Burns, in Claiborne county, Miss. I then belonged to J Abbey in the same county, and was called Paddy Abbey, but I now go by the name of William Young. My father was Jack Young. I should like to hear also from my aunt, Adeline Cammack, and her daughter Sophronia and Laura Morgans, my cousins. They lived with Thomas J. Abbey, in Claiborne county, and moved to New Orleans in 1864 Address me at Jackson,Miss. WM YOUNG
