Susie Mae Walker (Tincher?)

Susie Mae Walker (Tincher?)

Surnames: Tincher, Walker
Susie Mae Walker is my great great grandmother. I am hitting a brick wall trying to find out the names of her parents! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I know:
Born: July 24 1884 in Kentucky
Died: May 12 1959 in OKC
Married: Walter Walker approx. 1902 (1910 OK census shows married 8 years)
1920 Oklahoma Census lists a "Levi Tincher" in the household and relation is "brother in law". I also have found Levi's draft cards that list Susie Mae Walker as a sister.

So...I feel pretty confident? that Tincher is her maiden name, but hours and hours of searching have led me nowhere in finding her parents names. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I don't know if this will help or not, but my Tincher family also comes out of Kentucky one generation earlier (1820s). I have not had much luck in research in this family line but I have gotten a hint that there is a book floating around that my be helpful. I know that there are only a few copies around the country but from what I have heard it is a pretty complete family tree. The book is The Tincher Tribe one of the authors is Lois Tincher Dorsey. Online I have only found partial digital copies at best. I know there is a copy in a library near me and I plan on looking in to it when I get some time, I will take down your information and when I make it there I will see if I can find anything if you cant find a copy closer to you.

Thank you so much for responding. Interesting about the book....I'm going to look into that and see if there are any copies where I live. That would be great, if you do get a chance to see a copy, to look for my information. Let me know if you need any other details.

Glad to help if I can, the only thing that may help if you have it is, Do you have more specific place of birth for Susie? Where were Susie and Walter married, do you have a birth date for Levi?
I will keep you updated

Levi A Tincher date of birth is Sept 2, 1877 (I got this info from a 1917-1918 draft card). Susie Mae Walker(my gg grandmother) is listed on his draft card as his sister. Susie Mae birth is July 24, 1881. Every census that I have found for either of them shows both of their birthplaces to be Kentucky...with the exception of one, which names Arkansas as birthplace. My tree is public, if you'd like to take a peak. The name is "my family tree".

Amber - I have a hard copy of the Tincher Tribe book, and cannot find any reference to either Levi (with the birthdate you posted) or to Susie Mae. Do you have some names (either above them or below them in the family tree) that I can also look for?

Hi, thank you for responding!

I unfortunately have no other information for Levi. The only reason I was able to connect him to my gg grandmother, is because he was listed on her 1920 census (relation to head of hh as brother in law). That information then led me to his draft card (which lists Susie Walker as his sister). As for Susie, the only other "clue" I have come across is a 1900 Census I found which lists "Susie Tincher" as Lodger [Living Family] in AR. The head of that hh is a John S Combs b. Dec 1866 and Martha A Combs b. Jan 1860. I'm not sure what specific distinction of Lodger [Living Family] means though...

Also...another thing that is a mystery to me is that Levi is listed on 2 1920 Census for Oklahoma in the same town...on one, his race is listed as White and on another listed as Mulatto.
