Ben Ivy (formerly Ben Ellis) searching for his mother Katy, his father, and several siblings
MR. EDITOR ---- I wish to inquire
for my people. My first owner was
Joe Ellis, in Green county, N.C.
and lived at Snow Hill. I was sold
to Charley Croom. My mother's
name was Katy; my father's Alle[illegible]
Mincy. He belonged to Jim Mincy.
A sister named Beady and Clara;
a brother named John -- his wife's
name was Mary; a brother named
Haywood, Howell, Peter, and
Davey. All these are my people.
My three first named brothers
belonged to Redon Coley the last
time I heard from them. My name
was Ben Ellis at that time but my
name now is Ben Ivy. My last
owner was Benjamin Ivy who was
living at that time near Livingston,
Sumpter county, Ala. Benjamin
Ivy's wife was named Mary Jane
Ivy, and when Ivy died I was sold
to a man by the name of McGowan.
Address me at Marion, Miss.
BEN IVY.
