I am trying to find information on my g-aunts Sarah Valentine Cartwright m. (W.W. Cartwright), Rosa Valentine McKinney m. (Smith McKinney) Emma (Emily) Mae Valentine Crossman, (married Robert W. Crossman)  Samantha (Curley) Valentine m. (Richard C. Freeman)  My g-uncle David Valentine, who may have married (Nettie Wilson). Also, any descendents of Thomas Smith and Lorinda (Laura) Silvers.  She was the daughter of Hugh Silvers, and Thomas was the son of Robert Smith.  Thomas and Laura were living in Dekalb Co. MO in 1850 as was my g-grandmother Mary Smith Graham.  She married my g-grandfather , William H. Valentine in 1852 in Dekalb County, MO.  Then there is my Ward family.  Enoch Beck and Mary Ward were my gg-grandparents, both born in NC.  But I find a Elmer Ward b. TX living with my grandparents in 1900.  He was a ward of the court in Montague County in the 1880's.  I have copies of these papers. Have information to share. Karen
