(6c) Here's Mary Baker again living with her chn & mother:
1930 LeFlore Co Ok/ED 14/Houston Twp/HH 189-193/pg 151a
Redding, Nancy H/HH/wf age 70 Al/US/Al/widow/md age 20

Alexander, Pearl M/g-dtr/wf age 20 Ok/Mi/Ar
Alexander, Ola M/g-dtr/wf age 15 Ok/Mi/Ar
(6d) ............now, back tracking to this Mary in 1910....... and the PUZZLE !!!
Redding, Nancy/HH/wf age 50 Al/US/US/widow/7of 7 chn lvg
REDDING, Mary/dtr/wf age 25 Ar/Ar/Al/single
Redding, Melinda/dtr/wf age 25 Ar/Ar/Al/single
Redding, John/son/wm age 20 Ar/Ar/Al/single
Redding, George/son/wm age 13 Ar/Ar/Al
Redding, Pearl/dtr/wf age 7mos Ok/Ar/Al
(?a) Mary said she married at age 16 (1901) so why is she listed under her [maiden name] ??
(?b) the 7 month old Pearl [Redding] fits the age of Mary's daughter Pearl [Alexander] perfectly but are they the same person? If so, why are they both listed as [Redding] ???
(?c) Mary's chn Pearl [Alexander] & Ola [Alexander] would seem to be kin to Henry [Alexander] since they were living with him in 1920 but are they nieces? cousins? coincidence?
ANY information you can can share about the McCaleb, Alexander, or Redding families of LeFlore County will be gratefully received !!!!
