William Rivers is searching for his brothers David and Sandy Rivers and sister Harriet Rivers who he left in Mississippi in 1837. Their parents were Malcom and Satira Rivers. They were formerly enslaved by the Caraway brothers John, Thomas, Patrick, and Alexander Caraway. They had three cousins Annie, Daniel, and Washington. Annie was married to a man named Lyons. William had five uncles living in Nashville and Clarksville, TN with the last name Caraway. Uncles Louis and Stewart bought their freedom in 1831. William lived with his brothers and sisters between Yazoo City and the Benton place called Poplar Bridge. He doesn't remember the county name. William went to Texas with his brother George, sister Betsy, and cousin Washington and left the others in Poplar Bridge, MS. He hasn't heard anything since he left. Sister Betsy is dead but William, George, and Washington remain in Texas. He wishes for pastors to read this from their pulpits.
