Henry Clay searching for his mother Malinda Gill
MR. EDITOR—I desire to inquire for my mother, if possible to find out her whereabouts. Her name is Malinda Gill. We were separated in 1843, in Wake county, North Carolina, when I was about 2 or 3 years old. We belonged to Col. Oaddis (who was my father), he sold us to Israel Gill; my mother being high-tempered, Gill sold her and kept me. Rev. Purefile, who carried her to Roseville, where he kept a hotel. When Israel Gill bought mother from Col. Oddia we lived in Raleigh, N. C., then Gill moved with me to Texas. Any information of her whereabouts will be thankfully received. Address me at San Felipe, Texas, care Mr. C. H. Graves. HENRY CLAY.
