Henry L. Davis searching for his sisters Lucy and Hannah

I wish to find my sisters, Lucy
and Hannah. When I was parted
from them they belonged to Roll
Harris, in North Carolina. My
name is Henry, I was the youngest
of the family. I had a brother
named Jacob. Our mother was
named Elizabeth Steede; our father
was named Hubert Davis. He ran
away from slavery in 1852 to some
land of freedom. Hannah, the
elder of my sisters, if living, I think
is now about 26. I will pay twenty
dollars for any information that will
enable me to find them. Address,
H. L. Davis, county Treasurer of
Waller county, Hempstead, Texas.
