My name is Vicki Lynn McLaughlin Seawright and my father is Howard Lee McLaughlin who is the son of Flossie Irene Jones, daughter of Flora Dell Collins Jones, daughter of W.A. Collins and Mary Elizabeth Guess Collins.I remember my grandmother and my dad talking about Uncle Shorty.My Dad was also born in Konowa, Oklahoma.I would love to see the picture you have.My grandmother also told me that Mary Elizabeth Guess Collins was full blood cherokee but I have not been able to find our for sure.I understand that Mary Elizabeth's parents were Johnson Guess and Harriett Duncan Guess.We have gone to Plummerville, Arkansas looking for information and found the marriage certificate for Mary Elizabeth and W.A. Collins.We have been wanting to go back to Little Rock to do some more research but just haven't had the time lately.If you could scan the picture and send it to me by email I would be greatly appreciated.My email address is [email protected], my father is still alive and living in Sand Springs, OK.My grandmother died March 1, 2005, in Tulsa, OK.Thanks for your help.
