DEAR EDITOR: I want to find my people. I left them in Marengo county, Alabama. Father was Dick, mother Lucy, sisters and brothers, Aaron, Peter, Bird, Alcie, Sarah and Isaac. All belonged to Jake Mercarter, but my mother. Isaac and Sarah were sold to Allen Glover in Marengo county. My nane [name] then was Shep Mercarter, but is now Shep Renfro. Address me at Mexia, Texas, care of Rev. A. Brown.
