Eleanor, WOW! These two charts alone are a gold mine. I hadn't realized how much the Ozments mingled in with various Possum Valley families. Everybody in the Valley must be related to either an Ozment or a Knowles...or both! >... 3 Elizabeth A. Ozment >....... +Robert Elisha Kendall This was in "Old Times", I think, but I had forgotten about it. Believe this Elisha Kendall was the son of Russell Kendall and Sarah Jane White (who later m. William Knowles). If anyone is researching Kendalls, let me know. I have seen a MS census record with an Elisha Kendall who (based solely on location, name and approximate age) I think may be Russ Kendall's father. No proof. ------------- (Alfred Ozment line) >... *3rd Wife of [2] Andrew Anderson Ozment: >....... +Martha Ann Knowles Do you know, by chance, if this Martha Ann Knowles was born ~1853/4? If so, this could be the daughter of the younger Richard Knowles. I have never been able to find any of this family (except a daughter, Mary E., b. ~1845) past the 1860 census. Would love to find out more. >... 3 [3] William M. Ozment b: Abt. 1856 in Veasey, Drew County, Arkansas >....... +Mary Ann Loveless >... *2nd Wife of [3] William M. Ozment: >....... +Lucy Jane Stewart m: 14 November 1878 Aha, so William Ozment and Mary Ann Loveless *did* get divorced. Wonder why I couldn't find a divorce record in the Drew County courthouse? Mary Ann lived past 1900, as she is found in the 1900 census living with her daughter, Mary E. Ozment & her son-in-law, John C. McGough. I don't know exactly when Mary Ann Loveless Ozment or William M. Ozment died. This is great! Eleanor, you are a big help. Thanks again! Now I see how much more I need to learn about these Ozments. I didn't even touch the Elizabeth Ozment who married John Hickman. <g> --Melissa
