My father still talks to his children from time to time in Ohio. My father (Thomas Hamilton) moved to Florence, AL to work at a Ford plant, where he retired and lives. I have just started seaching for family. From: Cathy Humphries cjh1956memphis@hotmail.com Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 7:24 PM William Elmer Winders is my father's half brother.

Please share any infor you have. thanks, cathy From: Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 9:17 PM Source: ARARKANS-L@rootsweb.com Hi Cathy, Sorry it took so long to respond. Good to hear from you. My father is Earl Winders, Wm. Elmer's son. What I have found out is as follows: William Melton was born about August 1894 in Lonoke County, AR. He died 10/4/1918 and is buried in Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery, Romagne, France. William Melton's parents were A.P. (Alfred) Winder and Manda Gabrell (Gabriel). They were married 8/3/1894 in Lonoke County. He was 40 and she was 15. Apparently, Manda's real name was Amandie. Here is where I am stuck and the mystery begins. William Melton is found in the 1900 Lonoke County, AR census, living with his grandparents (Manda's parents) John Gabriel and Sarah (also known as Fannie). John Gabriel was born about 1842 in Mississippi. Fannie was born about 1847 in either Mississippi or North Carolina. William Melton is found again in the 1910 Lonoke County, AR census still living with his grandparents John and Sarah. John and Sarah both died before 1920 and are buried at Wattensaw Cemetery, Lonoke County, AR. Now, I guess my question is what happened to William Melton's parents (Alfred Winder and Manda Gabrell) between 1894 and 1900? Why are they not raising their son? Did they die? Did Manda's parents decide to raise William and told Alfred and Manda to get out? That could be possible. Did Manda die in child birth? It's hard to say. This is my dilemna. If there is anyway you could get me somewhere with this, I would appreciate it. I gave you what I have. Take care, Barb
