    1. Re: [OHVINTON-L] Sept 17, 1919
    2. Dear Beattie: You apparently have time to check out the McArthur papers. Do you have any papers for 1907-09. I am trying to find out what happened to my grandmother Lena Wilson McCafferty who married my grandfather Oct. 27, 1906. He was James Duffy McCafferty. My father was born May 18, 1907, and for some unexplained reason after his sister Marguerite was born Lena took my dad and his sister to the home of her Mom and dad. When she did this I do not know. But in the 1910 Census my dad and his sister and Lena Wilson were reported to be living with her Mom and dad, David and Mary Wilson. My dad and Marguerite were reported as Grand son and grand daughter. I wonder if the papers carried the date that my dad and his sister were born. Further if there is anything in the in the newspaper telling from court papers about these matters. My dad died without ever knowing what happened to his mother. James Duffy McCafferty my grandfather never responded to me or my first wife when asked. He ended up raising both children, though dad talked about being shuttled from relative to relative. Dad, James Arthur McCafferty, left for Columbus, Ohio to join his father probably in 1921 according to stories my father told me. If you have a search fee, let me know. Thanks for any consideration you can give me. Regards, Jim McCafferty, Fort Washington, MD 20744
