  MISSING PERSONS - This advertisement which follows appeared in the
  Ohio Register, published at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, 11 August 1819.

  INFORMATION WANTED

  At the time of General St. Clair's defeat, about twenty-eight years ago,
  the subscriber was taken prisoner by the Indians, and thereby separated
  from her kindred, of whom she has not heard since.  She was the daughter
  of JAMES STONE, by his second wife - was born in Bucks county, PA.  Her
  father removed from thence to Little Whitely Creek, about three miles
  from its confluence with the Monongahela river, where he died.  At this
  place her half-brother Elias Stone (who married Miss Betsey Baldwin)
  then lived; who had a sister living about forty miles above at a place
  called the Forks of Cheat.  At Little Whitely Creek her mother was
  married to a Mr. Peter Walden, who removed with his family to Post St.
  Vincent, on the Wabash River, where he was killed by the natives.  Here
  she was married to Mr. James Fullen, (who she believes was killed), and
  her mother to Mr. Lewis Surveyor.  One of her sisters, Margaret Stone,
  married a Mr. Malbuff - the other (Betsey) a Mr. Smith.  She had three
  brothers, James, Samuel and John Stone.  After eleven months cruel
  treatment by the savages, she was rensomed by a benevolent Frenchman of
  Detroit, who was then trading among the Indians.
  If any person can give information of her connections, they will confer
  a favor by addressing a letter to her by mail.
