>Hello, The only information I have about my grandather's parents come from our family Bible that has been >handed down. It states that my great grandparents were Albert Gallatin >THOMAS and Mattie Irene HUMPHREY. Mattie is said to have been born 29 Jun >1867 in Kansas City, Clay County, MO and that she and Albert married in >Joplin, Jasper County, MO on 1 Jan 1884 by Rev. John Phillips. She died in >Dec. 1920 in Yonkers, Wagoner OK. Her name is listed as Mattie Irene >Humphries on delayed birth certificate of son Claude Walker Thomas, As >Rainey on 1910 census,Oklahoma, Cherokee Co. Census roll # 1244 E.D. # 0015, >visitation # 0136 (soundex T520, roll # >38), and her name was listed as Reny on 1920 census. Rainey is probably a >nickname for Irene and likely the name she most often went by. Either the >1910 or the 1920 census taker probably misspelled her name. Her daughter >Myrtle told us that she remembers her grandparents as being Peter and Daun >or Dawn (maybe Donna) HUMPHREY. She said that Peter Humphrey died in 1916 >in Carthage, Jasper County, MO. Myrtle said that her father Albert Gallatin >THOMAS was the s/o Henry and Mary THOMAS. Albert is said to have been born >7 Jul 1864 in Texas (however I have not found him in TX yet). He died 5 Aug >1923 in Yonkers, Wagoner, OK. I know absolutely nothing about his parents >except what Myrtle has told to me. I don't even know for sure that the >names are correct. Myrtle did say that Albert had two brothers named John >and Lee (who married Elva and had sons Ray and Sam) and he had two sisters >named Hattie and Mary. I have no information about siblings for Mattie >Irene HUMPHREY. >TTFN, Lynda (THOMAS) CAMPBELL >hilnders@pe.net >Lynda's Genealogy Homepage >http://www.pe.net/~hilnders
