Surnames: Wilmoth Rayburn White Slagle Chisum Wheeler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FcB.2ACI/1175 Message Board Post: I'm looking for the burial location of my father's maternal grandparents, Jacob Lavander Wilmoth and Martha Adelia (Rayburn) Wilmoth. My paternal grandmother moved with her family from Cookeville, Putnam County, TN, in the early 1900's (c. 1903) with several of her mother's siblings and their families (the William Rayburn family, James and Mary White and family, Sarah Slagle and family, and Ella Wheeler) along with her maternal grandmother (Nancy Ann "Eliza" (Chisum) Rayburn). They all settled down in Pontotoc County (eventually). Jake Wilmoth was a carpenter who built houses, his family living in them one they were far enough along in the construction and then moving out into another so the finished one could be sold. He died April 5, 1929 in Ada. Delia Wilmoth left Ada shortly after Jake's death to live with her children (various ones through the years) and died in Oklahoma City in July of 1947. Although I don't know for certain they were both buried in Ada, it seems highly likely. I'd also be interested in the burial locations of Delia's siblings and mother as they are likely to be in Ada (or at least Pontotoc County), too. Thanks for any leads/information.

In the Rosedale Cemetery Book, Ada, OK, published and sold by the Pontotoc County Historical and Genealogical Society they show the following: Wilmoth, Jacob L. - 12 July 1865 - 19 Apr 1929 Lot & Plot # E-7-6-7 Wilmoth, Martha A, - 23 Dec 1868 - 1 Feb 1948 Lot & Plot # E-7-6-8 Other names with the last name Wilmoth are: Jewel D, Leona, Mrs. Raymond, Jr. There is also Wilmeth, Linda Under the last name Rayburn it lists the following: Rayburn, Nancy A., Mrs. - (E. Chism?) - d. 3 Jan 1912 Lot & Plot # E-7-6-5 Rayburn, William H. - 1865 - 1942 Lot & Plot # W-58-1-4 Rayburn, Racia D. - 1875 - 1944 Lot & Plot # W-58-1-3 There are a whole lot of White's but one that caught my eye was this one: White, Mary T., Mrs., dau of John M. Rayburn (b. Tenn,) & Nancy Chism (b, Tenn) 23 Oct 1859, Tenn - 8 Nov 1925 E-27-6-2 Other White's buried around her are: White, Edna Mary - bur. 3 Oct 1956 age 72 years E-27-6-4 White, J. T. , on of Tempy (b. Tenn) 14 Sep 1853 Tenn - 20 Nov 1915 , E-27-6-3 White, Porter - bur 7 May 1963 - age 83 years E-27-6-5 I also find: Slagle, Sarah J., mother 27 Apr 1857 - 11 Nov 1930 - E-7-6-3 Slagle, Daniel R., son 1 Mar 1878 - 16 Apr 1939 - E-7-6-2 Slagle John Ralph, son of Ira L. & Vola Dyer - d. 29 Aug 1910 Age 1 year, E-3-6-6 Wheeler, Ella, Mrs., Dau of John Rayburn & Nancy Chisom, 20 Feb 1872 cookeville, Tenn - 10 Aug 1929 E-7-6-4 There are a approx 7 or 8 Wheeler's which could be yours also. With this many of your relatives in here I would suggest checking into buying this book for your records. I bought mine several years ago for $15.00. I don't know what they cost today but I found their website on the internet and got the address and prices. I also think some of them are on this list and may be able to help you. Have a Great Day!
