Encyclopedia: Hiram Rhodes Revels

Revels was born free in Fayetteville, North Carolina of a free father of mixed white, black, and Lumbee Indian ancestry and possibly a slave mother who was later emancipated. He was tutored by a black woman for his early education. In 1838 he went to live with his brother, Elias B. Revels, in Lincolnton, North Carolina, and was apprenticed as a barber in his brother's shop. Elias Revels died in 1841, and his widow, Mary Revels, turned over her assets to Hiram before she remarried.
