Mrs. Louisa Thomas searching for her father Henry Ford Brown and her sisters Dilsy and Fanny Robinson
DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my father and two sisters, Dilsy and Fanny Robinson. My father is Henry Ford Brown When I last heard from my father he was in St. Leuis, Mo., and the last time I heard from my sisters they were in New Orleans, La. During the war I was between 16 and 17 years of age. I went from St. Louis to Washington, D.C., with Richard Bland Lee, Randolph Pitch and Maria Pitch. When I first went to Washington I lived on C street and then moved to No. 477 Seventh street. I was sold from Washington in
1863 to Bob Davis, a Negro trader and taken to Richmond, Virginia, I left Richmond between 1862 and 1862, when Bob Davis sold me to Will Brooks, who took twenty-five of us in a drove. My first husband was George Brown. The first time I heard from my father Chattanooga was surrounded by water, and I could not send a dispatch, but I have been writing ever since and have never received any answer. and the letters have never come back. I think somebody gets them. Direct letters to Mrs. Louisa Thomas, 410 McCa lie avenue, Chattanooga, Tenn.
