Henrietta Jones (formerly Henrietta Fants) searching for her daughter Georgianna Jones (2nd of 2 ads placed)

Information Wanted.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, May 3, 1873.
I have written several letters to Washington, in hopes of finding or hearing something of my daughter Georgianna Jones, but without success.
My maiden name was Henrietta Fants, my husband's name Cornelius Jones; we were both raised in the same house by Dr. Spencer Mitchell, and married under his roof also. We were married by preacher Wilson, of the Methodists connection. I cannot recollect his first name. The names of some of the children of the man that raised me and my husband were John Francis Mitchell, William Spencer Mitchell, Spencer Mitchell. Theophilus Mitchell, who was the youngest of the family. The daughters were Mary Mitchell, the eldest. She was not married whilst living at Washington. Lucy Ann Brown was the married daughter. I also lived with Lieutenant Boutwell and family and Mr. John Underwood. The latter resided on Capital Hill. Mr. John Engrol lived at the same place.
I have forgotten the precise date on which I left Washington with my husband; we went to live at Lewistown, in Pennsylvania. The name of my husband's mother was Mary Ellen Jones. The last employment of my husband was second cook with a Frenchman of the name Deaveneau, at Willard's Hotel, in Washington. My husband was accidentally shot at Lewiston. I sent my daughter back to my native place and left Lewistown in 1861 and came to this county, a widow, with my son Abraham Clinton Jones. My daughter, if living still, will be seventeen years of age on the 9th of this month. 5-6t HENRIETTA JONES. Any information forwarded to this office will be communicated to Mrs. Jones. — ED.
