Hi -
I have hit yet more brick walls with my search for
ANY information on my g-g-grandmother, Laura
Bower(s) Maddox, Rawlins/Rollins, Childs. This
woman married George Maddox in 1892 in
Delaware Co, gave birth to my g-grandmother,
Beulah M Maddox on 11-1-1893 (and an unnamed
son a couple of years later...) She then either divorced
George or was widowed and married twice more
to men with the last names of Childs and Rollins or
Rawlins.
I had pinned high hopes on finding information
from the cemetery and then perhaps the funeral
home or obituary if the Laura Childs in Hawk
Cemetery was "my" Laura.
I received 2 major disappointments in my
quest today. The gentleman in charge of the
cemetery tells me all records were lost in
a fire years ago. I contacted the county to
see if they could pull up a death record for
me with only a year to go by (not a specific
date) and they were kind enough to check
but told me she didn't die within Delaware
County even though she is buried there.
I am at a loss where to go from here.
Anyone out there have suggestions for me?
