I am looking for information on the above names, from Seymour, IN.
My great grandmother was Daisy Compton, and she was born in Seymour to Andrew Paul
Compton, and Loretta Jane Morgan. She had a twin sister Pearl, married Cleve Cox. My
Great grandmother and her parents came to Oklahoma in a covered wagon, sometime between
1888 & 1894. I have found through what little info I have, that she also had a couple
of brothers that none of us knew about. Reuben, and John Compton. Can not find what
happened to them. I have no idea who Andrew Compton's parents were, but all census
records state Andrew was born in Indiana and his parents also. It looks like Andrew moved
between OK and IN alot. He is found in IN. in 1870 & 1880 & 1910...I have not
found him in thje 1900 census. My grandmother was born in 1887 in IN, but was married in
OK by the 1910 census. Then Andrew is found back in OK in the 1920 census, listed as a
widower, living with his daughter, Pearl. He commited suicide sometime before the 1930
census, in OK. Then there is his wife Loretta J!
ane Morgan. I do not know who her father was, but she was raised by her mother, Elizabeth,
and step father, Reuben May. They are listed in the 1860, & 1870 census. I cannot find
them in the 1880 census, but Elizabeth turns up again in the 1910 census as a widow,
living with Loretta and Andrew Compton. Does anyone have info on any of the people I have
mentioned here? Any suggestions on where I might go looking.
Thanks,
Donna
