Hi, CW, sorry it took me until now to reply. We were down in Houston for 4 days trying to arrange things for my mother - the daughter of William Samuel and Sarha - who has very bad osteoporosis and broke her back - again - a few weeks ago. We'll be bringing her to Colorado as soon as we can make arrangements, but we had to get some help lined up for her in the meantime.
Thanks for affirming that my grandfather is in fact William Robert's son. As for information on Sarah Adkins, I've hit a dead end with her, at least so far. I do know that Sarah's mother was married to Aaron Lucas, Jr before she married the Adkins who was Sarah's father. Aaron Jr was married at least twice and possibly 3 times, but I don't know where Sarah's mother was in the marriage line and I don't know what her name was (my mother thinks her first name might have been Cora, but I've been unable so far to get any other information at all about her). I have some names of Lucas descendents and perhaps I can get something from them. I've only recently learned any of this, so I have a lot more digging to do. Unfortunately, Sarah died when my mom was only 9, and after her dad remarried, her step-mother would never let him talk to her about her mom, so she knows very little, other than what she remembers about her from the viewpoint of a child.
William Samuel and Sarah had two children, a son, Ercel, who was killed in an airplane crash in Florida in 1942 - he was in the Air Force and died a few months before I was born - and my mother, Olga Anita. Her brother Ercel was a good friend of my dad's, and she met my dad through her brother, since she was living with her aunt in Chicage at the time and they were both stationed at Chanute Air Base in Rantoul IL.
I'll keep you posted if I'm able to find out anything more about Sarah - I know what you mean about being frustrated at not being able to link her into the lineage. If you have any knowledge about the Lucases, that might give me a clue as to where to start looking. I've gotten some info off the Internet, and I believe the Lucases may have a forum, too, so I'll try that and see if anyone can help. And if you want more information on Ercel, once I go through the papers I found on this trip, I may have some dates I can give you. I know there are some things in there dealing with the early family years.
Thanks again - Carol
