This may be a shot in the dark.....I was told my Ggrandmother may have been adopted. I can't find her anywhere. I am told she was born in Howell or Howard county,Mo. Her name was Florence May Harris or Davis. She was born June 22,1860-61 and died 1938, buried in Bardley Cemetery. Her father on her Death Certificate is William Harris/Davies/Davis; mother unknown. She married Charles S. Swift and lived in Camden county,Mo. til the early 1900's, when they moved to Ripley county,Mo. I found in the census for Ripley county,(I think 1900) Alice (Timmons) Harris (widow), Addie/Abbie G. Harris, Florence May Harris (different birthday), Joseph Harris and Alexander Timmons, brother to Alice. In about 1906, Abbie/Addie was living in the home of Charles and Florence Swift. Their son, Jonnie married Abbie/Addie about 1906, with Florence signing the license as guardian. Any connection?
