Mother of:

Thomas Jefferson Rankin January 9, 1888 Polk County, Arkansas near Chester, Arkansas

Thomas and Bertha were given to other families to raise after Great Grandmother's death. Thomas was raised by James "Jim" Anderson. Thomas and my grandmother(Lucy Lenard) are buried in Park Grove Cemetery in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I do not know at this time who raised Bertha, but do know that they called her by "Martha May", which is what her headstone reads. She is also buried in Park Grove Cemetery.

Daughter of Andrew Jackson Parker and Eliza Johnson-Parker
