George Wootson searching for mother, Mahalie Wootson, and sisters, Margarat and Marinda
The Freeman (Indianapolis, IN)
January 23, 1892
I would like to find my mother and two sisters
we belonged to a slave owner by the name
o Jacob Wooston, he kept a livery stable on
Maine street in Richmond, Va. We were
separated before the war; my mothers name was
Mahalie Wootson, and my two sister's names
were Margarat and Marinda. Jacob Wootson
had three sons Randolph, Putnam, and Chesterfield,
at the time of our separation I was taken
to Harrisburg, Va. The last time I saw my
mother she was living on Clay street Richmond,
Va in 1863. Any information concerning these
persons will be thankfully received by George
Wootson, Hearne, Robertson, Co., Texas,
