Subject: [MOOZARK-L] Seeking Eliza Gates b. Nov 1879
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 00:16:00 -0700

I am making a desperate attempt to locate information on a great aunt Louiza
(Liza) J. Gates. She was the daughter of Michael C. Gates and Piercy Prevett
Gates of Randolph Co AR (Formerly of Lawrence Co and other counties in
southern MO). Liza, also shown as Eliza in some records was born in Randolph
Co AR Nov 1879. She appeared in the 1880 and 1900 Randolph Federal census
records. By 1901 she seems to have disappeared from the area and her family.
No marriage record so far, no burial site so far. She is not
listed in the probate records for her father and grandfather who died in
1911 and 1912, not even as deceased. I would be most grateful for ANY help
with her. It bothers me that she seems to have disappeared and no one
remembers her. In order to keep this short I will not list all the places I
have looked. But I am hoping against hope that she may turn up on a marrige
index that I overlooked in one of the counties. I apologize for duplicate
queries you may get...but my Gates lines were in all these counties at one
time or another. Thanking you in advace and praying for a clue.
