Wooten,Coots (Coats),Keith,Gillihan
Hi,I am new at this so please forgive my long question.It is confusing so I thought I should give as much details as I could.
My name is Sue Gillihan, my father is Ernest Willis Gillihan b.1912, Al. m.in 1960 to his 2nd wife, my mother Jamie Ruth Coots(Coats)b.1933 in Al.
Jamie's parents are Annie ? Wooten Coots(Coats) b.abt. 1914 or so. and James ? Coots(Coats)b. ? d.1932.
Annie's parents might be John ? Wooten m. to a ? Duffy.I was told this but unsure.
This is where it gets messy.My mother was born in Feb. 1933. and James died before she was born.It was said that my mother was a twin to a sister.On my mothers birth certificate it states that she was born 2nd.Her mother told her that James was not her father that some hobo was and that her sister went to live with their father while she and Riley stayed with Annie.
My gmother Annie Wooten had a George Keith staying with her for sometime.Then when Annie was arrested, (for what I do not know). my mother and her brother Riley Ivan Coots(Coats)b.1930 went to live with Andrew Jackson Gillihan and Annie K. Keith. George Keith's sister.I was told by a distant cousin that she talked with a Keith and it is possible that George Keith is my mothers father.
Andrew Jackson Gillihan is my fathers uncle, this is how my father and mother met and got married.
Please if you have any information on this messy, I need help.I greatly appreciate it.Thank you Sue.
