Louisa Ewing looking for her mother (2nd of 2 ads)
I desire to inquire for my mother. Her name is Louisa, but she was called Lucy; she belonged to Judge James of Galveston, Texas. Her mother name was Rebecca Thomas, she belonged to Seaward Galveston. Her brothers were John, Dennis and Dan, and her sisters Mary and Eliza. They all came from Baltimore to Galveston. She was sold, or taken for debt, when I was very small, and I was left with the white folks. The old lady that took care of me was named Aunt Judy, and I was called Judy too, but since my emancipation my grandmother Rebecca named me after my mother Louisa. I was her only child when she left Galveston. She was taken away by a Mr. Tom Powells, and I think that she was carried to Brownsville, Texas. I will pray the Lord's blessing upon you or any friend that will help me find my dear mother, or inform me of her whereabouts. I am married now and living in Richmond, Texas. My name is Louisa Ewing. I am very anxious indeed to learn something of my mother's whereabouts, if she is living or dead, and if she has any children. Please address Louisa Ewing, Richmond, Fort Bend Co, Texas, in care of Rev. A. O. Culbreath, box 61.
