Seeking line of my ggrandmother, Malinda Martha, b. around 1845.Certificate of death lists fathers last name as WOODS, mother's name as Ruth SIKES (SYKES).Malinda died in OK but married John Beard and they lived in Calhoun Co. MS area before migrating to Indian Territory in 1900.1880 Calhoun Co. Census records following:
BEARD, John, 45, Farmer, MS
--, Malinda, 35, Wife, MS, both parents AL
--, Belle, 10, Daughter, MS, both parents MS
--, Sopha, 6, Daughter, MS, ditto
--, Daniel W., 4, Son, MS, ditto
--, William, 3, Son, MS, ditto (my grandfather)
SYKES, Ruthey, 56, Mother, AL, parents SC
-- John, 19 Son, MS, SC / AL
NICKS, Mary, 6, Daughter, MS

We believe Rutha may have remarried a SYKES. Does anyone know this Malinda Martha WOODS? Any help appreciated. Lois Clifton
