LINKOUS/LINKES/LINCUS/LINKUS

Gibson also had a daughter Minnie (I have found a birth certificate of a Charlotte in Indiana with a mother named Minnie but as far as I know Minnie was never married and had some mental problem so I am unsure if this is my Minnie Linkes but the age would be correct) Also the family says there was an Emily Linkes who married an A.D. Cordell but I can find no record of this. There was a problem with the Revenuers in the 20s and 30s and thus one of the name changes occurred. I would like to find related families. Many of the family are buried at Stanbery Cemetery on 321.There is also an Emiline Mathais buried here. I believe her to be the daughter of Mary Hicks Mathais, daughter of Hiram Hicks. Thanks Linda

THOMPSON,GOODMAN,KEENEY

I am trying to find out if we do in fact have Cherokee roots. My grandfather Richard Vernon Goodman, repeatedly told us we were descendants of the Cherokee nation, but others denied it. His mother was Katie Elizabeth THOMPSON b. 04-21-1888, in St. Aubert, MO. dtr of Alexander Thompson and Mary GIESLER. His father was Martin Sylvester Goodman b. 12-16-1884 son of David Hamilton Goodman and Sarah Ane KEENEY. I would love to find out that he was telling the truth. I know that the Goodman's migrated to MO from Bedford Co. VA.between 1824 and 1852. I see some Indian features in our family, but nothing obvious until my daughter was born 7 years ago, and she has many Native American features, from the dark hair to those incredible cheekbones!
