ELLEN A. GOLIGHTLY Pope County, IL
I'm researching McCready's, and one hint I have from an oral history on audio tape of my great aunt is that we are related to Odie Johnson and Ed Gaines.It happens that I found a researcher of Bell McCready (married to Odie Johnson).Her line has Wilson Kennedy Gaines m. Mary Plaster.Well.........Mary Plaster was previously married to James McCready.This is Bell's parents.I have been at a brick wall with my McCready's for many years and this is the only hint I have whatsoever.I resently learned that Wilson K. Gaines was previously married to Ellen A. Golightly.Here is a list of his marriages:

Additionally, I found the following on the internet:
ELLEN A. GOLIGHTLY
Sex: F
Event(s):
Birth: 1861

Forgive the confusion, but this has been a true mystery for a very long time.I plea to anyone with any information to assist me.It's a sideways attempt to locate my McCready line.I appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
