Parilee was the mother of lawman Bass Reeves. She was born enslaved and lived in Arkansas and Texas until emancipation and returned to Arkansas about 1870.
The enslaved persons on the 1850 census of Grayson Co, Texas, lines 6 to 11, listed just below the Reeves family, are likely be Parilee and her children.
