Description

Peter Page, son of Peter Page, was born and raised in Louisville, KY, and enslaved by Major Throckmorton. He was searching for a brother and sister, William and Mary, who live in Rosedale, Iberville Parish, LA.

At least two ads were taken out, one by William Page and another by Mrs. McSpadden on behalf of his aunt Mary Jackson which reunited the two. The one taken out by Mrs. Maria McSpadden can be found here:
https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2630.
The other was taken out by William Page searching for his aunt Mary Jackson, which can be found here:
https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2645.
William Page took out an ad thanking the Southwestern Christian Advocate for locating his aunt Mary Jackson, but makes no mention of Peter. It can be found here: https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2570
Mrs McSpadden also took out an ad thanking the Southwestern Christian Advocate for its efforts, which can be found here: https://informationwanted.org/items/show/2631
