Dear Jim,

Thanks for your note. The Willis Sneed your father knew was the younger brother of my great-grandmother Florence Isobel Sneed. One of my uncles, Louis Crain, was raised by Willis and his wife Elizabeth with their son, Raymond. Raymond's son, Susan, and I have been corresponding for years, and I finally had the opportunity to meet her last year when my husband and I were in Iowa.

George Leonard Oster (b. 1785; d. abt 1854 in Davis, Caldwell Co., MO) was the father of my great-great-great-grandmother Susannah Oster Hayes. Susannah was his illegetimate daughter. According to a couple of other researchers I've corresponded with, Susannah's mother died in childbirth, and she was adopted by the midwife, the dead woman's sister Mary Reffners. I have not been able to find the name of Mary's sister.

Ida Mae,
I knew a Willis Sneed who lived south of Braymer, MO in Caldwell Co., very near the Ray Co., line. My dad and he were friends and I believe Willis was a little older than my dad who was born in 1911. There were also Oster's living near them.
This might not connect, but thought I would pass these comments to you.
Good Luck on the search.
Jim Holder
