WHITE/ODOM/DIXON/HARE
I have conflicting information on the death of Linsey "Lucy" ODOM.
Lucy was born in 1811, the daughter of Robert WHITE and Jane DIXON, in
Alabama. She married Henry Bryan HARE, Sr., and Presley ODOM and lived
in Alabama and Mississippi before moving to Columbia, Union, and Ouachita
Counties in Arkansas. One of my sources indicates that she died in 1860
in Columbia County. Another source says she died in Stephens, Ouachita
County in 1907. That is a 47 year discrepancy which I must reconcile. Would
like the exchange information with anyone knowing this family history,
or the death and burial information that I seek here.
