I am looking for my great-grandmother, Hettie Louvice Evans, b. 1848 on the Reservation in MS. We have two different names for her father--either Josiah or Dan (I'm thinking maybe both). We only have her mother's name as Ollie. Maybe, your William and my Hettie were brother and sister? There is a very interesting story about Josiah/Dan and Ollie, oral history, and from a law book. It was the presumption of death law. That's about all we can find on them. He left MS, went to Ark, started new life. Died in MS, buried there somewhere! Would love to trade info. We've been searching for them over 30 yrs! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
