I was raised by Jesse Yates, at Mount Sterling, Kentucky. I had five brothers, John, Richard, Lar- kin, Taylor and Martin, and three sisters, Martha, Lelah and Ellen. Our father was called Tom and our mother, Phillis. Most of the family belonged to Mr. Thomas, and had that name. Three of us were car- ried to Missouri by Jesse Yates, where I was sold to a speculator named Clark. Address, Henry Thomas, Austin, Texas, Care Rev.
