This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg//zYB.2ACE/1624 Message Board Post: My grandfather John Wesley Gross was born in 1857 and married Ida Mae Holton. I think that John and his parents and siblings lived in Pennsylvania at one time, then Michigan and Missouri. But in the early 1900's John Wesley and Ida Mae lived in Muskogee, Oklahoma. I'm looking for information on this family. Thank you.

Greetings, Trying to find information reg Idella/Adella Downing. Husband--Arthur ? Kizzia--could be spelled many different ways. Child--Wilmadene . Idella was in the Muskogee/Porum area around 1920/30. Thank you in advance, Wanda

WOW! That was very powerful!

Robert Sidney Dodson born Lamar Co, Tx. 1871 and Nannie A. Simco Crabtree Dodson born ca 1874 Ar. appeared in the 1920 Muscogee Ok census listed under DoLson instead of DoDson. Does anyone have info on them or their children Edna, Elsie (both deceased before 1902), Vester born ca 1902 Ar. Thomas, born ca 1905 Ok. Hobart and Robert Sidney Jr. Thanks for any clues, Jeanne

Sue: I had asked you to send me your mailing address. You can write to me at [email protected] I have a little appreciation gift for you. Thanks for all you do to assist us in other states of the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Oh, the week of September 17 - 23 is CONSTITUTION WEEK. We celebrate the anniversary of the signing of our great document at 4:00 p.m. on September 17 by ringing our bells across America in remembrance! I am patriotic. Nell Truitt

Nell, I'm really sorry, I didn't get your email about 1920. I still want to recheck 1910 and I'll look at 1920 while I'm at it. I've been a bit absent minded lately as I'm trying to compile a listing of all Muskogee County cemeteries, their locations, who recorded them and when and plotting their locations on township maps. It has turned into a bigger job than I had anticipated but it will be worth the effort in the end. Anyway, if you don't hear from me in a reasonable length of time...please send me a note to jog my memory. :) Hope you've had some rain in Florida.. it has been horribly dry here. We did get a storm tonite with alot of rain and 60 mph winds. Only lasted about 30 minutes but had to shut down my computer because the lightning was so bad. sue ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 7:44 PM Subject: [OKMUSKOG] KEMP MARLEY & SUSAN MARLEY > Sue, are you alright?

Sue, are you alright?

Just thought I would ask again. You are really appreciated by sending the 1910 soundex information. I am getting a bit closer to locating their death place and date! Nell Truitt in Florida

Looking for siblings of Fred Rich: Sid, Ed,& Alta Mae. They were Cheorkee. Their parents were Charley and Sallie Rich. They probably lived in the McClain area.

I am happy to report that my persistence in sending this message paid off. I found George Washington TODD and Margaret Isabelle WOODS' kin still living in Porter and Fort Gibson. Additionally, I discovered they have been interned in the Citizen's Cemetery [aka: Cherokee National Cemetery] at Fort Gibson. Many thanks to those on the list who have clarified this for Ms. Abbott, and have been so helpful to me. I hope others on the list are as successful as I have been. Wanda

Born to Fred Rich and Virginia (Jenny) Harris in 1897 IT. Bertha lived with her Grandmother Elizabeth Harris and Uncle George Harris in Muscogee Cty in 1910. Any information would be appreciated.

Donna, You have joined an email list. That means that every email anyone sends to the list is sent to every member of the list. That's why you're getting these emails. It gives people a chance to let more people see who they are looking for. If you don't have any information, just delete the message, and don't respond. If you do have information, then you can write the list with it, the same way you sent the message below, or you can respond to the person individually. I hope this helps!

Donna I may be wrong, but I believe that the reason you are receiving these emails is because you are on the <[email protected]> mailing list. If I am correct you should be receiving everything that is posted to this list. Everyone that joined the list receives everything that is posted. If these emails are coming to you directly then I would agree that someone does have the wrong address. In this case the thing to do is email the person sending the messages to you and explain about the error. I do not know how well acquainted you are with lists such as this, but if I can help you in any way please feel free to email me directly and I will try to help you in any way I can, not that I am an expert by any means. But I will try. I hope you manage to get it all straightened out. Ms. Cecil V. Boyd At 04:04 PM 9/5/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Please do not e-mail me anymore.
