Hi Lena and Bernie

The Smith Washington Hightower and wife Elvira Evelyn Reynolds rang a
bell with us, as we are following the Reynolds line. Earlier this year,
we got, from a cousin, a descendency report of Smith Washington
Hightower. Elvira is his second wife of three. Of interest, Smith is
Elvira's second husband of two.

Here is one generation from Smith. We have more information, but not
yet in the computer. Our interest is primarily on the Reynolds line.
We have received this information from two different sources, and notice
some differences of information. We cannot personally vouch for any of
the information contained herein. User beware.

We also have a picture of Smith and of Elvira. If anyone wants a copy of
either or both, send us a request off line. These pictures came from
DeWayne Welborn, who is a descendant of Smith and Elvira.

>I know only that William's first wife was Irlena. I don't even have a last name for her. I show Marvin as William's oldest born April 4, 1887 in Fulton County. His mother Nancy Matilda "Nanny" Hightower as the daughter of Smith Washington Hightower and Elvira Evelyn Reynolds. Both are burried in Hebron Arkansas. I have not checked obits to confirm this information as Oklahoma does not lend out microfilm and I have received no replies on any of my queries.
