Felicia,
I am looking for a James York, born 1868-69, in AR.
On June 5, 1880, Logan County, AR census, he was 11 years old.He was living with my great grandparents, Joseph F. Hooper and Indiana "Belle" Hooper, and is listed as a nephew.
I believe the connection comes from my great grandmother.Her name, Isbela Indiana Hooper, her father was Marion Hayes.
I have another researchers file that says she was Isabelle York, and that she had a son named Robert Smith, born AR, 1870.He (Robert Smith) is also listed on the census, and a Susan Smith.Susan is listed as a cousin,18, and Robert is listed as Stl/son, 10.I do not believe Indiana had children before she married my great grandfather.And, if she did, and they lived in the home, it seems reasonable that my grandfather would have known about it.
It is my feeling that James York, and the two Smith children were related to Indiana, and she raised them, or kept them for a while.
Is any of this familiar to you?
