WASHINGTON
Submitter: Janice HATCLIFF nursejh@cox.net
Date: 23 April 2005
My husband and I lived in Roswell in the mid 1950s when my husband was stationed at Walker Air Base. Soon after he finished his tour, we left there and moved to Lubbock, TX. In 1963 we adopted a little girl from Roswell. Before adoption, my daughter's name was Maria Thresea WASHINGTON.
Our adopted daughter is now 48 years old and would like to find her mother if she is still living. Her mother's name was Herta Arlt WASHINGTON, and she was married to an airman, Arthur Lee WASHINGTON. He had adopted Teresa before he and Herta came back to the States from Germany. I believe there was a divorce, and he was awarded custody of the children.
He was a a black man, and the mother was white. She walked out on the family and would not care for the children. Arthur did not want to take Teresa with him to Chicago.
He is now deceased, and so is Teresa's brother, Bernard. She has a half sister in Chicago, but apparently Herta, her mother, didn't stay to rear her either, so she does not know where her mother is.

the old man, Lower Penaso [Peñasco], Chavez County, New Mexico, and is postmarked June 5, 1900.
This letter was written to my great-grandfather, James Elias Jones in Emery, Arizona. In the letter, he affectionately calls my granddad "Warbug." He asks him if he "ever aims to come back to Weed."
I believe J.C.C. was a single, old man because of other things he writes in the letter. He also indicates he is getting old and sick. He also tells him "I saw a cow and a yearling the other day and it made me think of you."
Any clues as to who J.C.C., the old man is would be sincerely appreciated.
