Hi, I just reread my post (#5 on issue 13, and see I made an error. So much for hasty proofreading. >STANLEY is my husband's mother's family. His grandmother Jessie STANLEY >and grandfather Arthur Owens STANLEY met in a cotton patch in McIntosh Co. >just after the turn of the century. She'd come there with her WILLIAMS >family from Arkansas. I should have said that "His grandmother Jessie WILLIAMS and grandfather Arthur Owen STANLEY..." On the SHULTER topic, has anyone heard of the STENHOUSE, AZZARO and BOOTS families there? I have some information on them. Also, SISMONDO in Henryetta. And last, Donna referred to the Henryetta Library site. The librarian there, Ruby Wesson, has given me a huge amount of help in the form of obituary lookups with copies from the local newspapers. It's been a great help.
