My paternal grandmother, Minnie Hartley was born in Galveston, Texas in about 1854. Her parents both died and she was sent to New York state and adopted by the Buxton family. I cannot find anyone with the last name of Hartley in Galveston who might have been her or her father. I believe her mother was born in Florida. I ahve no idea how her parents died. I would appreciate any information that would lead to the identity of my great grandparents.
Thank you
Robin Edwards
