MR. EDITOR - I am anxious to learn the whereabouts of my mother, her name was Margaret Johnson and was owned by Barney Giltner in Woodford county, Ky., about four miles from Versailles, Ky. She was sold to a trader named McGowan, 30 years ago, who took her South. She had 3 children; the oldest was named Eunice; the second Mary, the next Amelia. Any one knowing such a person will confer a great favor by Addressing Amelia Fountain, care of Rev. D. Jones, Winchester, Ky.
