    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xV.2ADE/562.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Ferne: I would imagine that the Sol you mentioned that was killed in a railroad accident was actually the Sol (My Grandfather) that was killed in Colorado. The one borned in 1882. No records for him here, in Oklahoma, as Oklahoma was not a state until 1907. I do have a document that some one aqquired and gave to me that traces the Greenhaws from England(Name change from Greenough and Greenhough) came later. It traces the family from Virgina, where they first lived to Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. It does list some 27 slaves and their names of a plantation the Greenhaws owned.It is so hard to decipher as it was written in the language of early America. If I get it done in the future I will send you a copy It starts with a Greenough Nobleman, close to the King of that time. It says that some evil person tore out the first 12 pages. Goes thru to the end of the war and speaks of the familys migration north to Arkansas..Nine Greenhaw boys fought for the South at Shiloh. It is very interesting. I went to Shiloh and sure enough they are all listed on the register of the Southern boys. I have their names. I enjoy conversing with you.. Family means more when you get older I guess. I am near 70 (April) There are Greenhaws in Talequah Oklahoma. Also I have the ph. nos. and town and states of all the Greenhaws in the U.S. But I do not know who to call. Cleo
