Dear editor: I am inquiring for some of my folks, especially my son. I lived in Page county, Va., and had two sisters and one brother, Angeline, Frances and Richard Pollatt. I left them in 1853. My father went to Pennsyl vania when I was small. His name was Henry Pollatt. My mother was named Octavia. I am the mother of ten children I left my son Godfrey in Page county with Jackson McCoy. Tavern keeper Harvey died before I left. I had one child with me, Sarah, eleven months old. I have only two liv- ing now, Parmelia and William Edward. My husband's name was Noah Douglass, and he was a first cousin to Hon. Fred Douglass. He belonged to Davy Strickland. He was brought out here one month before me, and I carried on so about him that they sold me out here. My husband father's name was Henry Douglass. Henry Douglass and Fred Douglass' father were brothers, hence they are first cousins. I am 68 years old. Any information of my son or rel- atives will be thankfully received. I have a home in this place, but a word from them would be of con- solation to me before I die. I am a member of the St. James Metho dist Episcopal Church. Write me care of Rev. H. J. Wright, the pastor.
Yours, MARY JANE DOUGLASS.
