Kitty Presnell seeking information about her children Davie, Mariah, and Catherine

Kitty Presnell would like to
know the whereabouts of her chil-
dren [children] whom she was parted from be-
fore [before] the emancipation. They were
separated from her at Flat Lake,
La. We were then living with
Jesse Paxton. I was sold to Erwin
Williams. There I was parted
from my three children, viz: Davie,
Mariah and Catherine. I have
learned since that they were car-
ried [carried] to the State of Arkansas and
there sold across the river from
Little Rock. I also learn that
Jesse Paxton lived in Little Rock,
Ark. I now go by the name of
Kitty Presnell. Address me at
Navasota, Texas.
