MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire about my brother Anderson Rolerphard, who left us in 1856. There were five of us, Henry Rolerphard, Robin Rolerphard, Booker Haze, and Isaac Maeror, and one sister Louisa and Envy Haze. Our mother's name was Edney Mehala Haze. We were all born in Butler county, Alabama, and now mother, Booker and I are in Texas. The last I heard of brother he was on Colorado river. Address me at Cotton Gin, Freestone county, Texas.
