Dear Dianna,
I knew the family as soon as I saw this comment. Mary Alice aka Little Granny” Sizemore d/o of Chief George Sizemore, Aunt of Chief Gouldenhawk Sizemore aka George; from Magoffin County, Ky. Granddaughter of George aka Old Ned Sizemore. Ned to me: 3rd great grandfather of husband of stepdaughter of great grand uncle.
Agnes “Aggie” Sizemore (Eggy Montgomery) was from Magoffin, KY & married Silas Montgomery. Documents the Family as d/o of Goulden Sizemore.
All of Native America descent. They intermarried into my Montgomery Adkins Tree frequently. I know they did intermarry into the Adkins family up top there. I know the stories, but its not documented on my family tree. I’d have to do more research to see. I know which Isom/Isham/Nathan/Newton Adkins she was supposed to have been involved with, but then again not documented on my tree. Believed to be Parker’s son, but like I said, I have nothing but stories – so I couldn’t say one way or the other. Maybe from Isham’s line would have some kind of family lore to tie the two together.
Their son Isham married another Elizabeth Branham’s (lots of those in the Family as well) had son Greenville aka Green Adkins later Slone. He had son Wiley Slone later married Betty Prater. I know, that’s where we get the running joke, ‘If Grandpa had married Grandma, we’d all be Adkins.” She also had a son Shadrack Hall later Slone.
It was common back then for all children to take the new hubby’s Surname as he would then be the sole provider for her children. Heir to his estate.
Anyway, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance. I’ll do some checking and see where this line goes. I need something to go on.
As Always,
Sheila Jean Adkins Metcalf
