Looking for family of MINERVA. She was my g-grandmother. She was widow of (?) FINTON, with
several Finton children, when she married my g-grandfather FRANCIS SIMEON BRADFORD. I am
g'daughter of their youngest child THOMAS ANDERSON BRADFORD and his wife CARRIE
MADELINE MURPHY (of Oklahoma) through THEIR youngest child LEILLA EVA BRADFORD (Knight)
(Darnall). I believe Minerva and Francis were married in or near Lonoke, Arkansas, moved
to Pee Dee community, located between Clinton, Arkansas and Shirley, Arkansas in Van Buren
County. I think she may have nieces/nephews near Harrison, Arkansas. My mother, Leilla,
had spoken of a cousin, maybe ELVIN or ELBIN CAVENDER, that lived in the Harrison,
Arkansas area. I believe they were actually acquainted with each other, maybe through my
uncle CLARENCE ARNOLD BRADFORD (Leilla's elder and only brother, her only sister was
KATHRYN ORA BRADFORD (George)). If any of these names are familiar to you, please e-mail
me at clinark(a)yahoo.com!
. I would like to know where/when MINERVA was born, etc. Any info would be welcome.
Thanks, Katy Knight (Avendano)
