Do You Know Them? --- Is there any reader of the PLANET who can inform me of any of the persons whose names I have mentioned? If so please inform me through the PLANET or by letter.

Address same to CHARLIE OLIVER, Greenbrier, Ark.

I am inquiring for my grandfather who is likely to be in this city now. He is sometimes known as "Free John," and has been a barber in Richmond since 1855. He was a free man all his life, hence his name, but his family was owned by "Jack Vius." Free John's family's names were as follows: his wife, Nancy Vius, Daughters, Harriet, Dinah and Emily Vius, sons, Henry and Thomas Vins. Jack Vius lived 3 miles west of Ellot, Va., King William Co., in 1860. I was then known and "Dandridge Vius." I was sold in 1859 and my name was then changed to Charlie Oliver. My father was "Ottaway Boshare," mother, Harriet Vius. An early reply will be much accepted.

Respectfully, CHARLIE OLIVER, Greenbrier, Ark.
