Description

"Mary Goodrich searching for her sister Arabella" - DEAR EDITOR ---- I wish to inquire for my sister, Arabella. She was sold by Mr. Allgaires (Allgair) in Clarksville, Texas, during the war. She belonged to Mr. Walker Leslie, in Platt county (Platte County), Missouri. Mr. Mike Allgaires (Allgair) brought her to Clarksville, Texas, and sold her to Mr. John Parker, who lived at Blossom Prairie, Red River County, Texas. When I last heard of her she was in Little Rock, Ark., during the war. Any information will be thankfully received by her sister, at San Antonio, Texas. MARY GOODRICH.
