Description

"Tom Wilson searching for his children Charley, Maria, and Lizzie Wilson" DEAR EDITOR—I wish to make inquiries for three children and a brother, whom I left in Pope Co., Mo. The children's names are Charley, Maria and Lizzie Wilson. Sophy Wilson was the mother of the first two, and she and I belonged to Nat Wilson. Lizzie's mother is Maria Hedge. They lived in Platt Co, (Platte County, Missouri) of the same State. Brother, Bentley Wilson, lived with Ben Wilson. Bentley's wife was named Judah Wilson. The nearest town to them was Bolivar. My address is Aberdeen, Monroe Co., Miss., in care of G. A. Watkins. TOM WILSON.
