BURES, PARKER, TAYLOR - Looking for information on my great-grandparents: Charles PARKER and Martha Caldonia (Callie) PARKER.

FERGUSON, GAINES, PARKER, WATSON posted by Vicki McCauley on Tuesday, July 9, 2002

I would be interested in corresponding with descendants of Delilah J. "Junie" PARKER who was born in Mississippi around 1886 (estimated year from census records). She lived with her GAINES relatives after the death of her mother. Other information that has been mentioned is her married name may have been WATSON or FERGUSON and she lived in Arkansas around the 1950's.

If you can help, please e-mail me. Naomi was my great aunt on my OLIVER side. Thanks, Diane

JONES, OLIVER, SPARKS, WELLS, WOODARD posted by Diane Baxter Williamson on Thursday, July 18, 2002

OLIVER/SPARKS - I am looking for help on OLIVER/SPARKS marriage. I know that William "Bill" SPARKS was married to Sarah Augusta OLIVER, daughter of Robert McKINNEY and Velairy Moliana (WELLS) OLIVER and then to Sallie L. OLIVER, daughter of William Henry and Hulda (WOODARD) OLIVER. I think he (William) married Sallie L. OLIVER after the death of his first wife, Sarah Augusta OLIVER. I came to this by looking at all the information from other OLIVER lines. I know Sallie (my line) was married to a JONES who must have died before the census in 1880. They had 2 children: Mollie and Nannie. But then I have Joseph SPARKS, Robert SPARKS, Charles SPARKS, Alba SPARKS, William SPARKS, Rebecca SPARKS and Opelia SPARKS. Who was the mother ??? Sarah A. or Sallie L. ? My Sallie was a SPARKS when her father William Henry died in 1888. She is listed as such on the probate papers. Any help will be a big help.

BARTON, DOBBS, DOOLEY, VANDERGRIFF, VANDERGRIFT posted by Alice Leonard on Wednesday, July 24, 2002

Still searching for information on James Thomas VANDERGRIFT/VANDERGRIFF & Laura Ann DOBBS. They were married on Oct 24, 1887. He is the son of William Joseph VANDERGRIFT/VANDERGRIFF & Sarah Jane BARTON. Laura is the daughter of Josiah {Joseph} DOBBS & Mary Erma ?. James & Laura had 8 children, known names are Bessie, Fred, Emma, Cordelia. Emma married Frank M. DOOLEY in 1909; she died in 1914. All the children supposedly died prior to 1952 except for Fred who died in 1956. Can someone possibly tell me how to find out the names of the other children? Also according to the 1920 census for DeValls Bluff, Laura & James were divorced. Does anyone know what year that happened & what happened to James? Thanks very much for any information you can tell me. Sincerely, Alice Leonard
