WE may have a connection????? I am looking for OLIF or OLIVE EVELYN WOOD(S). She was born in 1853 in Ala?. She married 18 Sept. 1873 in Henry Co. Ala. to William Tillman Ansley and they moved to Montgomery Coounty, Texas, near Willis. She supposedly had relative there-Uncle ? Chumlee or Chumpler A letter of mine hints that her family may have included: Yancy Woods Emma (Emaline) Woods who may have married a Crumpler Mandy or Amanda Woods who may have married a Billy Prescott and maybe a Thelma? Woods Olif or Olive's mother was born in Miss. and her father was born in N. C. according to the 1880 Montgomery County,Texas Census. That is all I know. I cannot find anything else. I have been looking since 1976. I found her marriage in Henry Co. Marriage Records 1871-1928. And in Marriage and Death Notices From Ala. Newspapers and Family Records 1819-1890, pg. 39 The record says "They married at Uncle Billy Holmes home near the Countyline Church, Henry Co. Ala. Okay, you know all I know and have discovered in 23 years. I would love to find a connection with you if we can.
