I am looking for information on Robert Henry Goodnight and his wife Mary Helen's daughter Pearl(She should be their adopted daughter). This Pearl did not appear on the 1920 collingsworth,TX census under Robert Henry Goodnight. She does appear on the 1930 Collingsworth,TX census under R.H.Goodnight as his 15 year old daughter, also his wife Mary Helen appear on both census. The only daughter they had was born in 1919 and died the same year. This Pearl could be my grandmother's(Dorthy London Holden) Half-Sister. Dorthy's mother is Rosanna York London and her father is Allen London. Allen London and Rosanna York's Children are: Henry C. London,Emma M. London(not many family members knew about Emma),Onnie Warner London and his twin brother Lonnie Carter London,Irene London,Dorthy London, and Possibly another Half-Sister of theirs and this would be Pearl's sister named Lora(This is not a sure thing yet). My grandmother Dorthy London Holden said Pearl was adopted by a minister and His wife and they moved away, and she said Pearl was a half-sister. I have found that Robert Henry Goodnight was a circuit minister, he may have adopted Pearl in camp county%2
