Do You Know Them? --- Is there any reader of the PLANET who can inform me of any of the per- sons whose names I have mentioned? If so please inform me through the PLAN- ET 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, Daugh ters, 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, Har- riet Vius. An early reply will be much accept- ed.

Respectfully, CHARLIE OLIVER, Greenbrier, Ark.
