Hello list members it has been about 2 months since my last post of this message. I am sure some of you are getting tired of reading it:) First, I apologize for the length of this request. This is ALL the information that I have. If anyone has any suggestions or recognizes any of these names, I would deeply appreciate any/all help in solving this puzzle. Dora Adaline GRANT was rumored to be a Cherokee Indian. I have no proof of this or any evidence to suggest that this is true, only family stories. I do not know where she was born I may know who her parents were. The evidence I have of her life is two marriage licenses one for 1890(Jackson County) and one for 1897(Conway County) and the 1900(Conway County), 1910(Yell County), 1920(Lonoke County) census records. She was born 1870 - 1875, died 1942. (I have been unable to obtain a death certificate or social security record. I have her obituary.) She was married 3 times and had children by all three husbands. All her children are deceased. She lived all her life in AR according to the census records. The names I have are as follows: Dora Adaline GRANT (1st marriage), M MALONE, (children) Pearl b ~1893 married a HAIL/HALE, Myrtle b ~1892 married W F PAINE/PAYNE (2nd marriage), Noah Strong EDMON(D)SON, (children) Houston Grandville b ~1898 married Mabel MCARTHUR, Charlie b~1903 married Rosie Katherine SENTELL (3rd marriage), Joseph Wesley CARLOCK, (children) Ruby b ~1909 married 1st GRIMES, 2nd FURR, 3rd EANES, Hurbert/Herbert b ~1910 married Edna TEMPI ELGIN. Ruby's children are as follows: Ruby Jean GRIMES, Margaret FURR, Russell EANES, Carolyn EANES. She had two brothers, WAIN b ~1880 and JAMES b ~1884 GRANT. I found them listed in 1900 census for Welborn township, Conway County. They were enumerated with POLLY SITTERLEY b ~1858, listed as mother and head of house. She is listed as 42 years old, widowed, mother of 6 children with 3 living. I have a marriage license for Jim (Jas) GRANT to MRS. ALLIE WINTON August 7, 1903, Conway County. He is listed as 21 years living in Cardon Bottom in Yell County. She is listed as 25 same place. 2nd marriage for James GRANT to Josephine Vaughn Verden in Pope/Yell County. James died in 1926 buried in Brearly cemetery in Yell County. His death certificate lists his name as James H GRANT, born in Searcy County. Father's name is Andrew (born Mississippi?) and mother's maiden name is unknown. I have a marriage license for Wain (Wayne) GRANT to MATTIE GRAMBLE February 14, 1903, Conway County. He is listed as 23 years living in Atkins in Pope County. She is listed as 29 same place. James GRANT listed as head of household in the 1910 census for Wilson Township, Yell County. He is listed as 25 years old, divorced and married for 6 years. (The years were crossed out.) Also listed in this house is Polly SITTERLEY, mother, 50 years old, widowed, mother of 6 children with 3 living. And Myrtle MALONE, niece, 18 and single. Are any of these names familiar to anyone? There must be some descendents of these people living in Central Arkansas. Please put me in touch with some of them. Does anyone recognize the SITTERLEY name? Thank you for taking the time to read my post and ANY suggestions would be appreciated.
