Lillie Bates searching for her father Louis Dorsey
The Freeman (Indianapolis, IN)
April 20, 1893
I should like to know the whereabouts of my
father. His name was Louis Dorsey and his
wife's name was Eliza Dorsey. They used to
belong to Dr. Thomas Mattricks in Rappee
Parish, La., near Alexandria. He parted with
his wife and children near the close of the late
war with Gen. Bank's regiment. My grand-
father's [grandfather's] name was John Dorsey; grandmother by
father's side was Anna Dorsey. My grandmother
by father's side was named Nellie Mat-
tricks [Mattricks]. I also had two uncles whose names were
William and John Henry Dorsey, together
with three aunts, whose names were Charlotte
Ann, Mariah, and Celia Dorsey now residing
in Houston. Any information of the where-
abouts [whereabouts] of Louis Dorsey will be gratefully re-
ceived [received] by his anxious daughter, Lillie Bates

I live in Natchitoches Parish Louisiana about 30 miles north of Rapides. There is a family here with the surname Dorsey. I will try and find out if your Dorsey I connected to this family.
