Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11418 Surname: Bearden ------------------------- Brenda, This is in response to an old, old message. Hope you are still at this address. You said John Washington was your husbands great grandfather. Do you have the name of his parents? My grandmother was Lizzie Dora Bearden and she had a brother named John W. Not sure what the W. stands for. He was born in 1867 in AR. Hope this is a match. Thanks a bunch. Ann
