I would appreciate ANY help someone could give me on the following:
My ggrandmother, Carpey ADAIR, (sometimes called Mary Elizabeth) was
born in Spencer, IN 23 Sept 1873.� After 1890 she married Greenberry
Benbrook and they moved to Miami, OT, Okla where they raised their
children and are buried.� According to her obituary she had two
surviving sisters, Mrs. Ora Barton and Mrs. Drucilla Kuper who were
living in Ark. City, Kansas in 1957.� After searching records in that
county I have concluded there was perhaps a mistake.� According to
ssdindex Ora Barton b. 19 Aug 1883 and died in Dec 1967 in Spencer, Owen
Co., IN. (One ssdi states that she died in Cloverdale, Putnam Co. IN).
On Carpey's death certificate, in the blank for father it reads, "Adair
Burleigh".� On her oldest son's death certificate, however, it states
that his mother's name was Carpey ADAIR.� And so...I have concluded that
perhaps the father's name was Burleigh (Burlah, Burleh, Burly) ADAIR.�
and subsequently the daughters were Carpey, Ora and Drucilla ADAIR��
But...that could be wrong.:~)
This has been my worst genealogical nightmare and I would be SO grateful
to ANYONE who could help shed some light on this mystery!!!� Thanks!�
