Henry Thomas searching for his father Tom, mother Phillis, and several siblings

I was raised by Jesse Yates, at
Mount Sterling, Kentucky. I had
five brothers, John, Richard, Larkin,
Taylor and Martin, and three
sisters, Martha, Lelah and Ellen.
Our father was called Tom and our
mother, Phillis. Most of the family
belonged to Mr. Thomas, and had
that name. Three of us were carried
to Missouri by Jesse Yates,
where I was sold to a speculator
named Clark. Address, Henry
Thomas, Austin, Texas, Care Rev.
C .L. Madison.
