Martha Vagner (formerly Martha Webb) searching for her children Simon and Jennie

MR. EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my children. I was sold from them in Virginia by a man by the name of Cread Webb to a man named Wadkins, and he brought me to Franklin, La. I have four children which I left in Virginia, the oldest is named Simon, he used to belong to Thomas Joplan; my next oldest were Emma and Ann, one of whom I left at the old home, and Emma belonged to a man by the name of Noel. Jennie, my youngest, I left with my old owners. I now have two of them, Emma and Annie, but Simon and Jimmie I have not found. Address me at Franklin, La., care of our pastor, Rev. J. W. Hilton. My name is now Martha Vagner, but I used to be called Martha Webb.
