Do You Know Her.
I desire to know the wherebouts
of my sister. Her maiden name was
Mary Holmes. Her first marriage
name was Mary Brown. I learn she
has marrried the second time. She is
the daughter of Claiborne and Jennie
(or Jane) Holmes, who lived in King
William County, Va. Her father was
owned by Mr. Park Davis. Her
mother was owned by Reuben Lipscomb.
We were afterwards divided
at the death of the owners.
She was then owned by her young
master, James Lipscomb sometimes
called Hudson. I was owned by the
sister of James Lipscomb (or Hudson)
who married O. P. Binns. The
last I saw of her was when I made
my escape from the Rebels to the
Yankees at Charles City about July,
1862. Any one knowing or being
able to give any information concerning
my sister, will pleas address
Wm. OLIVER HOLMES,
1456 P. St., N. W.
Washington, D.C.
