Description

Miss Matilda Holder is searching for her sisters Charlotte, Mary, and Catherine and brother John. There is another sister whose name I can't make out due to poor printing and another brother or sister named Frances. They were formerly enslaved by a Mr. John Laine so they all went by the name Laine at one time. Matilda left them all in Franklin County, GA.
