Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the response. Please forward my information to Jan
Cooper GREER. Maybe we can link up. I will keep your information
handy for possible leads. In the mean time I have ordered 1900 & 1910
Census films pertaining to GREER for TX & OK from the local LDS
library. I decided to find Maggie Virginia Greer's siblings first and
move back ( I was hoping my great aunt would find their names and
birth dates in her records but that might not be possible). Maggie
Virginia GREER married James Joshua DODD in OK.
I will also order the 1870 Census to look for Joseph and Sara LEWIS
with their two children William and Annie and hopefully come across
more information on possible other relatives living in the area.
Of course, I still need to prove the above Annie LEWIS is my Annie
Rushing LEWIS. Hopefully I will be able to contact Mr. WINDROW by his
mailing address on his web page.
If you would like to e-mail, I'll be happy to give you my address and
phone#.
Denise Barth

SEDBERRY (I'm guessing at the spelling) and was of English descent. My
