Reading the boards it's interesting -- I also heard the "Indian" connection so far still a mystery.
My Grandmother's father was John Henry Gadberry or Gabberry. His wife was Alice Ann. The children were Willie, Opal and Sybil. They lived in Texas and on a move to Oklahoma the men died or abandoned the family as only Alice and the children made it to Sulphur, OK. Alice and Willie died soon after orphaning the girls which is what has led to such a confused story that has been passed down.
I'm still new at this and can't find anybody! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
