VAN NOY/HANCOCK   716

Query posted by Sheffield, Robin on April 06, 2005 for , HANCOCK, VAN NOY

Mary Catherine Hancock, b. late 1854 (possibly Nov), married Nathaniel Van Noy (also b. MO, raised in TX) and raised their three children--Lee, Myrtle, Ivy--in West Point, near Miles, which is approx 11 miles N of modern Vinita. Last child, Ivy, b. in MO, but family back in West Point by 1890 or 1891. Not in any census before 1900. In Feb 1904, Myrtle married & moved to Arizona Territory. By 1910, Mary (widowed before 1900) was also gone from Miles. Anyone knowing anything about Mary's family background--parents supposedly MO-born, suspect Dad's name was Lee--please contact me at above e-address. THANKS!!!!

LAWRENCE, William Henry   717

Query posted by Harriet on April 24, 2005 for , LAWRENCE, KNIGHT

Looking for any information about this man. All I know is that he was the youngest son of Benjamin Needham Lawrence and Susan Jane Knight. He was born Nov 1870 in Pierce Co.,WI. All contact was lost with him.

I have been given information that he died and/or is buried in the Vinita, OK, area after Jan 1903 [when his father's will was written] .

Because of the variations of lasst name spellings, I have even been unsuccessful in trackin him by census records. I do not know if he married, had children, etc.

Any help will be gratly appreciated, as I have helped others in the past.

Mabel (---) DeWees: 1901 - 1986   720

Query posted by Encanto on May 27, 2005 for , DEWEES, DUNCAN

Today I received copy of two short obits for a Mabel DeWees, 85 who died in Tulsa in May, 1986. She was born Mar 22, 1901 in Washita County; resided in Vinita, Craig, OK since 1976 and is buried in Ketchum Cemetery - I have to assume it was Craig County. Is anyone familiar with this person/family - what was her maiden name, who was her husband and does anyone have access to the cemetery records for more data? I am trying to find the possible connection to the DeWees I have on my database, descended from the Mack-Schoonmaker/Fleming/DeWees line ..I am not a descendant but do know someone who may be...She had a son, Jim and a sister, Annie Duncan of Dill City and two grand children...
