Louisa Ewing looking for her mother Louise

MR. EDITOR ---- Kind sir I desire to inquire through your paper for my mother. Her name is Louise, but she was called Lucy. She used to belong to Judge James, of Galveston, Texas. Her mother was named Rebecca Thomas; she belonged to Shaws, and her brother's are John, Dan and Denis; her sisters are Mary and Eliza; they all came from Baltimore to Galveston. She was sold from me when I was very small. The old lady that took care of me was named Aunt Judy, and I was called Judy, too, but since Emancipation my grandmother Rebecca named me after my mother, Louisa. I was her only child when she left Galveston. She was taken away by Mr. Tom Powell, and I think that she was carried to Brownsville, Texas. I will turn my thanks and also ask the blessings of the Lord to rain upon you or any friend that will inform me the whereabouts of my dear mother. I am married now and living in Richmond. My name is Louisa Ewing. I am very anxious to hear something of her, if she is living or dead, and if she has any children. Please address Louisa Ewing, Richmond, Fort Bend county, Texas.
