John Jordan searching for son John Jordan

WARRENTON, VA., May 26, 1866.
DEAR MADAM,---At the request of John Jor-
dan, a very industrious and energetic freedman
of this place, I have the honor to enclose here-
with, from his own hand, a letter of inquiry in re-
lation to the whereabouts of his son, whom he has
not seen or heard from since October, 1863. Jor-
dan thinks that his son is either in the north-
west part of this State, or in the State of North
Carolina; and thinks if the Society you represent
will publish his letter in the "Freedmen's
Record," it may lead to some information in
regard to his son.
The teachers could give me information in
regard to the matter, and I would communicate it
to Jordan. I would earnestly appeal to the loyal,
self-sacrificing ladies who are at this moment
engaged in the great work of civilization and in-
tellectual improvement, to make such inquiry as
will give to this deserving man the information
he so earnestly desires.
Respectfully,
W. A. MCNULTY,
Asst. Supt. Freedmen.

Miss HANNAH E. STEVENSON,
Sec. Com. Teachers New-England Freedmen's and
Union Commission.

INFORMATION WANTED.
WARRENTON, VA., May 1, 1866.
Where is John Jordon, who waited on Captain
Throgmorton of the Fairfax calvalry of the con-
federate army. I would be glad to gain some
information from persons, persons who was ac-
quainter with this boy. Captain T. hired him of
Mrs. F. B. Gibson, of Prince William County,
Va., in 1861. He came here in October, 1863.
Since that time I have never heard of him, nor
Mr. T. Any information will be thankfully re-
civet by his father, John Jordan, in Warrenton,
Fauquier County, Va. JOHN JORDAN
