INFORMATION WANTED
OF MY TWO SONS, WILLIE AND CHAMPION,
who left me in 1864, when Wilson's
parade took place in Virginia. Willie is about
23 years of age, low, chunky and very dark.
Champion is about 19 years of age, spare made,
and of ginger colored complexion. Their
whereabouts is not exactly known, but I am of
opinion they are either in Washington City or
Texas. Any information concerning them will
be thankfully received by their aged and infirm
father.
RICHARD ELLIOTT,
P.O. Raleigh, N.C.
