ATTEBERRY, GENTRY, GODWIN, MAYFIELD, NEED, SECREST, SWAGGERTY posted by Linda Godwin Wicksten on Sunday, December 28, 1997

I am trying to find information on my Great Grandparents. Amanda Margaret aka Maggie SWAGGERTY and William T. GODWIN. What I do have came from a 1900 Census in Greene Co., IN, Wright Twp. William was born 12-1833 in DE. He was married twice before he married Maggie. And he was 66 and she was 37 in 1900! A 1900 IN Census lists his middle initial as F. I know for a fact that it was T. for Thompson. Margaret aka Maggie (the Census shows Margaret) was born 5-1863 in IN. her maiden name was SWAGGERTY. She married George GENTRY and they had Emma F b. 3-1882 and John b. 3-1884 both in IN. Then Margaret married Elijah SECREST (several spellings) and they had Franklin A. b. 7-1886 in IN. Then she married my Great Grandfather William T. GODWIN and they had: Carrie E. GODWIN b. 3-1890 in Jasonville, IN. Carrie had long red hair at the age of 21 and was a stage actress, she was married and she died in a house fire that burned her home with her in it. I NEED info on her, Maud S. GODWIN b. 2-1892 in Jasonville, IN. she died at abt age 22 of Diphtheria, in IN. William Thompson GODWIN b. 9-1895 in Jasonville, IN he is my Grandfather, he later married Ahletha ATTEBERRY aka Lela Atterberry in 1915, and moved to Caddo, OK. and Marietta GODWIN b. 3-1897 in Jasonville and in 1915 she married Richard Bledsoe. Margurite aka Maggie possibly ran a Boarding House in Jasonville, IN and she died in 1916. William T. died and she married Asa MAYFIELD. It is said that William T & Maggie owned houses and property in Jasonville, IN. Also an Uncle of mine, my fathers brother, says all the ones that died are buried in Jasonville. I do not know that for a fact. ANY and ALL information would be appreciated. I am looking for information on all the families of William & Margaret. The Gentry's, Secrest's AND Godwin's and any other family they may have had. Thank you very much. I do not know where William Godwin is buried, I need to find what happened to Carrie Godwin and Maggie's children with Gentry & Secrest. Also Ahletha ATTEBERRY aka Lela Atterberry GODWIN is said to be buried in Aylesworth, Oklahoma but I can not find her grave, any help would be appreciated. Linda ll13@intercomm.com (LL and the # 13)
