Elmira Mills searching for her mother Millie Mills and siblings Ailsey Mills, Louisa Mills, and Isham

DEAR EDITOR—I wish information of mother, sisters, and one brother. Mother's name was Millie Mills; sisters, Ailsey and Louisa Mills. Brother Isham was the youngest ; was owned by Jonathan Mills. He moved from Mississippi to Johnson county, Texas, during the war, near Alvarado. Jonathan Mills used to attend Court regularly in Buchanan. I judge by that that he was a lawyer. I am the oldest of the children living, My name was Elmira Mills. Was stolen from mother by Hosea Stephens, to whom I was hired, soon after freedom. Mother lived six miles away from me, with a family whose name I forget. This man Stephens told me that mother was dead. Any information concerning them would be thankfully received. Direct to Elmira Mills, in care of M. Henson, Glass box 275 1/2 Austin, Texas.
