My husbands grandmother, Ruby Jones Gilliam, wrote some notes about persons she was related to, or lived with while in Hayti, Missouri. She was born at a construction site, in a cleared wooded area in Pemiscot County, Missouri in 1903, along with a twin brother Dewey. He died at eight months of age and their mother, Arabella Sanford Jones, four months later. Ruby Naomi Jones lived with a foster family who lived next door to her Uncle ? Ben Jones. The family was that of John Gaskins. There is a drawing of a layout of Hayti and where a few businesses were located. She mentions a few of the people and "interesting" things that happened there up to about 1915. It is handwritten, about 25 pages with no index. I can write an article a day or so to mention what is in this recollection of Hayti. It doesn't much cover genealogies, just recollections of Hayti and SOME people. Does anyone know of a John Gaskins who had a daughter named Wilhemina in about 1905/6 in Hayti. This family lived next door to Dr. Ben Jones, a country doctor. Thanks, Bonnie
