Also, the person submitting this query is probably NOT subscribed to the mail list (yet). ==== PLEASE DIRECT ANY RESPONSE TO THE ADDRESS BELOW: Helen Aponte <[email protected]> SLEEPER/ MCDOWELL/ STRIBLING Looking for evidence for DAR application showing that Chlorinda Sleeper (1827-1907) was a daughter of Gideon Sleeper (1786-1838) and Margaret McDowell Stribling. Chlorinda was born in Mississippi and died in Texas. I have her marriage record which was in Amite Co, MS. She married Robert Lee Torrance of Amite Co, MS. I have access to the book “History of the Sleeper Family of Waco and McLennan County Texas” by John Sleeper. The DAR does not find that to be sufficient to prove that she is the daughter of Gideon Sleeper. A will of Gideon Sleeper would be good, but I have not been able to locate one. Birth records, other than bible records probably do not exist. A bible record would be great.
