Hi Sandra,

If you ever get the siblings or children of Bettie Benbrook's sister
(Wood) would you please let me know?

Sign me desperate.

Searching for Amanda Charlotte Wood b. 1864-7 MO or AR. Gave birth to
my grandfather, Robert Walter Wardman Rivers in Calico Rock in April
1882. Second son Alfred Shelby Harwell b. 1884 either Calico Rock or
Ft. Worth, TX.

Thanks!

Charlotte
