Hello to all; Just trying my wings here, and to say that the "Armenta" daughter of William King is not me. I have found my name listed all over the South through many generations, but spelled many different ways other than the way Mother spelled mine. She was reading a Western Novel and found this name. She thought it was pretty and would be different to all the other "kid's" around this area, Murray Co, OK. On researching the name it is an Aristicratic one of the Spain Spanish. Napoleon spelled it the same but he pronounced it Armentha because of a lisp. I have many Ancestor's from far away places that came through Texas before getting to the Indian Territory. I will be talking about them a little later after I am familiar with the Erath area and other's on the site. And, I want to say Hello to Charles Wyly and Jerry Coffee. I love their stories and we share some kinfolk here and there and our families were associated in the Civil War and other battles in the 1700 and 1800's. I sometimes think I am Kin to everyone. My name is Armenta Akers, McWethey. I was born here and still live in Dougherty, Murray Co., OK. I retired from doing "little round numbers" in 2000 and have enjoyed every minute. My parent's are Johnnie Oscar Akers born in Foster, Garvin Co., I T and Alta Mae Hale born in Birta, Yell Co., AR. She died April 19, 2004, and is buried with her Robinson / Hale family at Nebo-Drake Cemetery near here. My father is still living. He was 101 January 17, 2005. Armenta....

Hello Armenta Thanks for answering my letter, You have a very pretty and different name. I thought I would give it shot, you never know what you will find during genealogy research. I knew it was a long shot, but all I had to lose, was time writing, all you could do was say yes or no, I knew you couldn't bite me. I am glad you told me your name, as I happen to correspond with a wonderful lady in Arizona, who is from Oklahoma. Her name is Patsy Akers her husband is Randy Akers. We are both researching the Waits-- Cupp line. Tell your 101 year old father, "Congratulations! hang in there, the best is yet to come." Very nice of you to take time to answer me.
