Rhode Reeves seeking his siblings Nelson, Perrena, Minnie, and Adam Hill

MR. EDITOR--I wish to inquire through your valuable paper for my two brothers and two sisters whom I left in Abbeville District, South Carolina, about 25 or 30 years ago. I was only ten years old when I was sold from them, and my father was living at the time whose name was Hill. Mother died before I left, father afterward; her name was Betsy Hill. The name of my eldest brother was Nelson Hill and the youngest Adam Hill. The name of my eldest sister was Perrena Hill and the youngest, not the youngest, but next eldest was named Minnie Hill. I was sold from my father by a man whom we belonged to, Mr Hill, when I was about two years old--sold to a man by the name of McKellar who brought me to Alabama from Abbeville District, S. C. After I came to Alabama Mr. McKellar gave me to his daughter and she brought me to Texas. I have been here ever since. I am the father of eight children, most of them have grown up to be men and women and are now married. If there can be any information obtained as to the whereabouts of my brothers and sisters it will be thanfully received. Address Rhode Reeves, Conroe, Montgomery county, Texas.
