BRICE/MELTON Submitter: Mary Johnston mimjof3@swcinternet.net

I am trying to locate family members of Mrs. C. R. BRICE who lived in Roswell in 1938. 

I am researching MELTONS, and she had information at that time on Elijah MELTON, born in 1773, and died in 1826 in Greene Co., Alabama. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

REEVES/POWERS Submitter: DeMona Reeves  demona@ar-digit.net

Date: 1 Feb 2003

I am looking for information on Minnie REEVES POWERS, who died in the 1930s in Chaves County, New Mexico. Minnie was the daughter of Middleton REEVES, who is buried in Colvert, Oklahoma. She was born in 1872 to Middleton and Amelia REEVES, born in Kentucky. Her first husband was Ben RUSSELL, and her second husband was  O. M. (Oscar) POWERS. They were married in 1916 in Roswell, New Mexico.

They came to New Mexico from Fannin County, Texas or Bryan County, Oklahoma. Prior to that, the Middleton REEVES family was in Pike County, Arkansas in 1880 when Minnie was 8 years old.

Several members of the Middleton REEVES family lived in Chaves County.

STEVENSON Submitter: Meg Stevenson-Scaringe  greyhoundx@rlc.net

Date: 2 Mar 2003

I am seeking any information on my father, Jackson Wade STEVENSON, born 10 May 1918 in Caddo County, Oklahoma, died 3 November 1992 in Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico, buried in South Park Cemetery.

I never met my father who was married to my mother, Joann VICKERY, in Carmel, California in 1953. They separated while my mother was pregnant with me.

I know my father lived for a time in Ruidoso, and that he married a woman named Edna. I assume that there are children of that union, and there was also a daughter named Jackie, who was from a marriage prior to my mother's marriage.

My mother cut me off completely from my father and his family. I am trying to reconnect with anyone in the family or anyone who knew them.

All assistance is appreciated.
