Belle Starr

ConnieRay20 — 8 Jun 2008 3:30:11 GMT

My friends grandmother is Mabel Acton. She is in the Arkansas census in 1900 and 1910 with Charles Acton. In the book by Glenn Shirley it says that Charles and Pearl are the ones who picked Belle Starr up out of the road after whe was shot and loaded her in the wagon. I have a death record, funeral home receipt, and obit. that says that Belle Starr is Charles Acton mother. I am wondering if Acton is the name of his father, or is this the name of the people who raised him??? Mabel often talked about babysitting Pearl's children. She also had a hand painted picture of Belle Starr that hung in her house until the day she died. She also named her children just like Pearl named her children? Charles Acton was born when Belle Starr was 16 yrs old. I would love to hear from anyone who has any other information on this.

I am looking for any info on my family who settled in Alva Oklahoma around 1898. The family consisted of Fred and Louise Ertmoed and there 4 sons, Alle, Harry, Ike and Ben. They came from Pekin Illinois.

Family in Avard

Tim Arbaugh — 3 Jan 2006 5:36:36 GMT

I am looking for the families of three sisters apparently from Avard, early to mid 1900's. Amina Rainsburg (this is her married name) Cora Ferguson and Maggie Morris. I have no idea whether the last two are listed with their married names or maiden names. Amina married David Andrew Rainsburg around 1907, he was the Guthrie, OK station agent for the Rock Island Railroad, and Amina moved to Guthrie with David. They built the house that we now live in, and lived here til 1918. David died 1940, Amina died in 1945- they had no children, and she left her estate to Maggie and Cora. At the time, both sisters were apparently still residents of Avard. What I am looking for are descendents of Cora and Maggie with hopes of finding more information and possibly pictures of David, Amina and/or early pictures of our house. I would appreciate any info- thanks in advance.

BALTZLEY, Wm. H. death 1910

P.WOODWARD — 17 Aug 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Can you help me in any research ??? Lookup death records, Obit, History any bits of info. All I have to go on is this.

William H. BALTZLEY d. April 16, 1910 buried Wynoka Okla.

BALTZLEY, William H. born 1856 Henry Co. IA. married 1881 Emma B. TUCKER born 1863 death 1938 buried IA.

Yes, I'm hoping my spelling of Wynoka is a typo. As it's found in a book published abt. 1935 on Wm. H. BALTZLEY lines back to Switz. 1750's.
The only other town that looks close to Wynoka spelling is Wynona OK., Osage Co., help to clear this up is appreciated and welcome.. If your a link or know any bits on this line
Please contact me. As Wm. H. BALTZLEY's death in OK is totally out of the bounds or logic, as any family that I know of from direct family lines are all in Iowa since 1850
The only other notes I have on Wm. H. BALTZLEY is that he was Painter. Only other clues that might play into this Mystery is his mother's name of HOBBS, Mary Ann married 1847 OH. to {his father} Jacob BALTZLY/BALTZLEY b. 1825 OH. a carpenter by trade both Mary Ann & Jacob are buried in IA. abt. 1916. There's family lore of Native American Blood lines maybe wife Emma B. TUCKER {b. 1863 m. 1881 d. 1938 buried IA. near her daug. {My grandmother}..or {My gg-grandmother} Mary Ann HOBBS families. I have very little info. on these gals.
Any help with lookup or verification of this info. especially in Okla. or any area's I have mentioned. I would appreciate very very much.. I can offer exchange of help in California area perhaps.. Thanking in advance for any Help, Suggestions or Insight for my long distance researching efforts.. Contact: P.WOODWARD, e-mail, or P.O. Box 2567, Lancaster, CA. 93539-2567, Phone {661} 943-7219 new A/C was 805 till just this yr. 1999

Williamson Hays and Rachel T. Porter-Hays

JudyHarvey51 — 3 Sep 2001 11:26:20 GMT

I am looking for descendants of Williamson Hays born December 10, 1847 in IN and his wife Rachel Temperance Porter-Hays, born October 3, 1858 in Lincoln Co., MO. I know Rachel (and possibly Williamson) moved to Waynoka, Woods Co., OK sometime between 1895 and 1921, and I know Rachel died in Waynoka July 24, 1945. I don't know the death date or death place for Williamson, so it's possible he died before his family moved from Kansas to Oklahoma. Their known children were Susie Grace Hays, Howard Constantine Hays, Frieda Abigail Hays, Rutherford Birchard Hays, and Neal Donley Hays. All of their children were born in Turon, Reno Co, KS. I'm also interested in any historical information surrounding this family in Waynoka, Woods Co., OK.

looking for marriage date for England/Munger

bluidswede_1 — 4 Mar 2006 12:48:51 GMT

I am looking for a wedding date or certificate for Nem Wesley England and Blanche Viola Munger in Woods county abt 1906, 07 or 08. She was about 20 and he was 32 years old. Blanche's brother Claude Munger lived in Alva with his wife Clara. I am wondering if they got married in Woods county because her family lived in Harper Co. Kansas and I've exhausted all research in Kansas and now am looking in Oklahoma. Her wedding picture says 'Alva OK' from the photographers stamp. Nems' family lived in Enid OK and that is where his wedding picture was taken.
Can someone tell me when and where they were married? This couple moved around a lot it seems..lol
