I will look them up for you if you think they might be yours. Pat Munroe Board Admin. Hi Pat, I appreciate any efforts. There is supposedly a small blurb about them ( Nancy, Sarah and Pernucia Traylor) in a book by Neal Cotner called A Window To The Past. According to one response I received to a query, the mother Nancy Traylor, has never been found with a husband and is rumored to have had 7 children. I know virtually nothing of this side of the family. I am also still seeking to find Pernussa/Pernucia with her Smalley husband as he is absent from the 1870 census in Sebastian Co, Arkansas. Thanks, Kevin...

Well, this seems to be a common occurance in that part of the county. I have found many women living alone, that is to say no husband but many children. This is usually do to there being some Indian blood in the woman in question. (grin) There were many Indian women still living by the old customs in those days and it looks as though some never gave up the old ways. (grin)It makes it very hard to trace beyond her and her children because her children usually went by her name and not the fathers name, just one of the old customes. I will see what info I have on the Traylors and send it your way if it looks usefull. Pat Munroe Board Admin. > > Hi Pat, > I appreciate any efforts.

I'm wondering where Pat Munroe got her information about the sex habits of Indian women. I had never heard that one before and I've lived around here for almost 70 years.
