Elisha Brooks searching for their mother Minnie Ann Molbear and their uncle Sippa Reaves

DEAR EDITOR— I wish to inquire for my people. My owner and people moved to Mississippi from Chatham Co., N. C. My owner was Jack Reaves, and his wife was Nancy Reaves. His oldest son was named Thomas and others named Brooks and Sam; his daughters were Patchly and Polly Reaves. Uncle Sippa Reaves, his wife and myself belonged to the Reaves family. Uncle had sons named Branton and Robert Reaves. He had a daughter named Anaca, Hannah, Jane. Mother's name was Minnie Ann Molbear. She was taken away from me and carried to Marengo Co., Ala. I had two sisters, Minerva and Priar. My step-father was George Underwood. The last time I saw him he was in Hardemon Co., Tenn., and his mother was on her way to Alabama. I was born in Chatham Co., N. C. Parker Brooks brought me from that State. Address me at Locksburg, Ark. ELISHA BROOKS.
