Surnames: Garrard, Nixon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FEY.2ACEB/188.2 Message Board Post: Hello - We are possibly searching for the same family. My g gd father was William Garrard. He had a sister referred to as Aunt Scrap. From my research, I found Aunt Scrap had a twin, nicknamed Kit. According to my research, Aunt Scrap would have been married to a Timmer, and her last child with him was named Olive, born in McKee OK in 1888. To my knowledge, Aunt Scrap's name was Louisa, but this may be wrong, since I can find no trace of her under this name in my research. In any case, Allen T. Garrard and Nancy Maddox, who were married in GA in 1827, had a number of children, including Sarah, Louisa, Nancy, Martha, Mary, William, John, James, and Margarett. I am struggling to establish a clear link between these families, at least Louisa and William left GA and headed at some point to OK (then Indian Territory). If you would like, we could work on this together. I live in France, but you can contact me by e-mail any time. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. ! Thanks and regards, Alexandra Nixon
