Looking for any information on this woman. She is listed in the city directory as "madame" - does this mean she ran a brothel? She is also listed in several census as having no occupation which makes me wonder. She is a member of the Ladies Aid Society - any information on this would be helpful. She was a mulatto and I believe associated with slave traders R.M. Owings and Ziba B. Oakes - two of her children were named Owings
