    3. I am looking for the family of Walter Donaldson. He was born in 1867 in MS, probably in one of the NE counties (at least one of his sisters lived in the Corinth area). His father's name may have been Wallace, and he was supposedly from Georgia, probably born ca. 1820. Walter's mother, or possibly Wallace's mother married her brother-in-law after her first husband died. This person's name is possibly Joseph (thus Joseph is probably Wallace's brother, but possibly his uncle - my source was a bit confused about generations). Walter was the youngest, or near youngest of a large family. He had a brother Robert who was killed in the civil war, so I guestimate that Wallace was married by 1840. He also had a brother named William and one named Joseph too. Walter goes to TX in the 1880s, and marries a woman whose last name is Tessner. By her he has a son named Thaddeus Sabaska. He later moves to De Queen AR with a group of people including members of the Floyd family; he marries a Mattie Floyd and moves to Antlers, in I.T. (OK), where he is working as a Baptist missionary. By Mattie, he has Gladis (who is a son), and Ola Mae (who later went by Patricia). Ola Mae is born in 1900. Walter bounces back and forth between Hugo OK and nearby parts and De Queen AR most of his life, with a brief stint in Mountain Air, NM during the 20s. He dies in 1959. Sue morgana@ghg.net
