They had several children including Mary Anna Hare in 1823, Dennis Calhoun Haire in 1824 (my forefather), Mildred "Millie" Hare in 1834, Henry Bryan Hare Jr. in 1837, and Elijah Hare in 1838. Then she was left a widow. Later, on March 12, 1844 in Marengo County Alabama, she married Presley ODOM and moved to Kemper county Mississippi before the 1850 census. That year one son, Jacob ODOM was born. In the next ten years, she and her some of her children by H.B. Hair, and her son, Jacob ODOM, moved to Ouachita and Columbia County Arkansas. They resided in Stephens, Arkansas vicinity. One source of my information states that Lindsey ODOM died in 1860. Another states that she lived until 1907, and was buried in the Old Catholic Cemetery in Stephens. That cemetery was on private land and not accessible in 1992. Can anyone shed light on this contradictory information. If so, please e- mail me at BRWilsons@Aol.com

McCRAY
I am looking for Census or slave records for the McCray family around 1850-1920. Location Magnolia, McNeil, or Pine Bluff Arkansas. Grandfather was born in th 1890.....Ed McCray Greatgrandfather was born approx. 1870..Square McCray. There is a street named after my grandfather in Magnolia...McCray Street. I am especially interested in finding the AfroAmerican origins of this family. I suspect they migrated from South Carolina at some point in the latter part of the 1800's after slavery. They were sharecroppers and there is some very strong linkage to a " Geechie" dialect spoken by my great grandfather, Square McCray. I have no other facts just sketches. Thanks for any assistance.
