In your hunt have you found any siblings? In most of the families I am researching I find sibling or parents living together (on the other hand one I haven't found in any census until after the father died - I found granddads will and got the four boys and in the 1870 they were all over the place) Taking the 1880 where it says father born Kentucky mother Alabama try having at the 1850 searching Wood born Kentucky male and then try for the mother. Meantime I see where Coffeeville came up Maybe try looking for Emily in Texas in 1860 and then find her in 1850 and see if there is a girl of the right age. I searched for Wood born in Alabama and got two living in Yalobousha Co none in Adam Co. then I did the same with men born Kentucky and got nothing. Now I am hunting in Texas, I will let you know if I find anyone.

She is my GG Grandmother and I have complete information on her after her first and second marriages to 1 James Rupe and 2 Ceburn Dugat.

Most claim she is daughter of Emily Wood of Coffeeville but have no documentation to prove either. > Thanks for any assistance.SAWilhite > ===== > If you would prefer digest mode to mail mode, drop a note to roots-admin@rootsweb.com and ask for the digest... > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
