Hello. I am new to this list. My surnames are as follows, and I would like to correspond with anyone else researching them: Mothershead, Shoults, Wall, and (perhaps) Pruitt or Skeel Thank you to Sue Cooley, who sent me an obituary for Matilda Shoults, who died 22 Apr 1948. I believe she will turn out to be my ggrandmother's sister, but have yet to prove it. All of the following, except where noted, is per my mother and as yet unconfirmed. My ggrandmother Eva married George Mothershead in St. Clair in Feb. 1891 (marriage record not yet found). Both had grown up in St. Clair. Eva had an older sister Tilda, a twin sister Adeline, and a younger brother John. Her mother died when she was 12 (i.e., in 1896-97) and the family was split up. My mother gave Eva's maiden name as Pruitt. However, Eva's death certificate (otherwise not very accurate) says John Skeel for her father and is blank for her mother. Eva and George Mothershead had seven surviving children, about which I have additional information. They and the seven children moved to Weld Co. (Windsor/Greeley) Colorado in 1913. Here are the connections I see with Matilda Shoults, per the obituary: (1) She has a surviving sister Mrs. Evelyn Mothershead of Greeley, Colo. (probably my "Eva"). (2) She has a second sister, named "Adelyn" (probably Eva's twin "Adeline"). (3) She is older than my ggrandmother Eva (by eight years). (4) She had a son George of Denver, Colo (at her death in 1948), and a "George Schultz, Eva's nephew" was present at my ggrandfather's George's death in Windsor, Colo, in 1939. (5) The 1920 census shows Eva and George's married daughter Altha (my grandmother) in a household that includes "Sidney Wall." The relationship on the index looks like a "C," which I was guessing would be a cousin. If Matilda's sister Adelyn had a son Sidney, he would be Sidney Wall (Adelyn's married name) and would be a cousin to Altha. Questions: Does anyone know whether Adelyn Wall had a son Sidney? Did she by any chance also have a daughter Della? Does anyone have a birth date for Adelyn (to compare to Eva's to see whether twins)? Does anyone have Adelyn's marriage record, showing her maiden name? Does anyone have information on Adelyn Wall's or on Matilda Shoults' parents, especially whether the mother died about 1896? Thank you for any help! I will be happy to share information. My e-mail is suetinny@rochester.rr.com Susan Thomas
