Nellie May dau. of John & Ella Isham?
I'm going to try this again, since I have a bit more information than I had the last time I posted in 1999!
Nellie May is my paternal grandmother, b. 1897 in Tulsa, OK, d. 1940 Delta, CO.She married George Byron Pettis in Gunnison, CO.I've no idea how she came to be in Colorado or if her parents moved with her.
It's believed that Nellie May's parents were John Isham and Ella.Someone in the family has recorded Ella's maiden name as "Welxou",but I can't get ANY kind of hit on search engines for that surname, and so believe it to be incorrect.
According to my father, Nellie May was at least 1/2 Native American, altho that percentage was prone to change depending on his mood, and may have in factbeen non-existant.
I'm going crazy trying to find my ancestors!Can anyone help?
