I have been working to track down anyone knowing about the family of Rebecca Ann TETER (TEETER) b.1/20/1857 at McKinney, Tx - d. Norman, Ok and is buried in Mt. Gilead cemetery near Bolivar. She married Winfield Taylor KEELING in Polk Co. Later married a man by the name of SIMS (SIMMS) at Norman, Ok- Took back the name of KEELING - Then later must have married a man named HOOD. As I understand is listed on the grave marker. She was the daughter of Jacob TETER(TEETER) and Sarah Ann WEEDIN (TETER)TEETER. They were married at Booneville, Mo on 4/26/1848. She had children including: Rosella, Jessie, Versa and Mollie. Mollie would be my biological gGrandmother. Mollie was married to a Roscoe Harold SMITSON my biological gGrandfather. Can you help me out with any information about living relatives? Or let me know who I could contact. My Grandfather is 91years of age and has never had the chance to meet any living blood relatives. Thanks!

CHANDLER, FROST, HUMAN, WILSON posted by Paula Currey on Monday, May 25, 1998

Ishmael Codgell WILSON and Sarah Annie (CHANDLER) WILSON moved to Humansville, Polk County, about 1862. I have copies of the deeds of purchase and eventual sale of farm land northwest of town. I lost them at this point, but they may have remained in Polk County as they had two children who married there. I would like to find more on these two: John M., who is believed to have married Mary Jane HUMAN, dtr of William and Mariah; Elizabeth who married Joshua FROST about 1863/4. The youngest child of Ishmael, daughter Amanda may have married there, or died there. If anyone can enlighten me on any of these individuals it would be very much appreciated.
