Hi,

I just reread my post (#5 on issue 13, and see I made an error. So much
for hasty proofreading.

>STANLEY is my husband's mother's family. His grandmother Jessie STANLEY
>and grandfather Arthur Owens STANLEY met in a cotton patch in McIntosh Co.
>just after the turn of the century. She'd come there with her WILLIAMS
>family from Arkansas.

I should have said that "His grandmother Jessie WILLIAMS and grandfather
Arthur Owen STANLEY..."

On the SHULTER topic, has anyone heard of the STENHOUSE, AZZARO and BOOTS
families there? I have some information on them.

Also, SISMONDO in Henryetta.

And last, Donna referred to the Henryetta Library site. The librarian
there, Ruby Wesson, has given me a huge amount of help in the form of
obituary lookups with copies from the local newspapers. It's been a great
help.

Best to all,
Ginger Goodell
