There is one odd thing about Emanda/Emily Sneed.The family lore was she had died in childbirth.However, I was just recently emailed a photo of her with a girl of about 8.My cousin in Talequah told the woman who emailed the photo to me that 'she was on the rolls but had been unable to locate for sure where'.There is also talk of Emanda possibly being of 'dark' skin (Melongeon sp?) and maybe John (my ggrandfather) decided to send her off to have an easier life.Anyway, he married the governess Elizabeth Daily and had a bunch more kids.Not sure where to go from here.I've been checking the rolls on line but have not found Emanda's name.Don't even know the girl's name.Any clue might be the one that opens the door so hope you might have run across something about Emanda Sneed and John Guthrie, sons Walter and Tom, and a daughter long thought dead but possibly living in Oklahoma.
