Patience Green and John William Harris. I
wish to find my daughter Patience Green. I have
no trace of her since she was sold at Richmond
Va., 1856. She was then 12 years of age. John
William Harris my son went with some servants
of Mr. Batts (after the surrender) who lived in
Prince George Co. to Washington City. He was
14 years old at that time. Both were of Charles City, C. H. Va., and belonged to Dick Christian
(in name only) by whom they were sold. Infor
mation [information] will be gladly received by Mrs. Clara
Bashop, Colbath House, Morristown, N.J. 4 30-92
