Reuben Lynch (formerly Reuben Austin) searching for his mother Kitty

DEAR EDITOR—I wish to inquire for my mother Kitty. She was sold to a man by the name of Gates, who kept a ferry on the Chattahootchie river, State of Alaboma. She had two children with her when sold, the girl was named Eliza, the boy Moses. My oldest sister Eadie I left in the State of Georgia, Elbert county, with a man named John Andrews Harper. Mary my sister, I left with a man named Dillard Hearn. I came to Texas with an old lady named Kitty Austin; she was an old maid. I then went by the name of Reuben Austin, but I am now Reuben Lynch; address me at Groesbeck, Texas.
