Mrs Lauretta [WALCOTT] Taylor Lookadoo NUNNALLY 1879 - 1983 (!)
Mrs Lauretta [Walcott] Taylor Lookadoo NUNNALLY
was born 15 Oct 1879 in KY - died 13 Apr 1983 in Riverside Co CA at the age of 102 years. Per her Calif death record, her mother's maiden name was [McLean]. Other researchers name her parents as David WALCOTT and Matilda [McCLAIN] , however,
I cannot find Lauretta on the 1880 census to check.
Lauretta 1st married a Mr Taylor and had one child Delvin TAYLOR born 17 Jul 1899 in the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. They divorced before 15 Jun 1900. Delvin married his step-sister, Luda Bee [NUNNALLY]. He died 08 Nov 1967 in Pend Oreille Co, Washington.
Lauretta 2m Carroll B. LOOKADOO abt 1904 also in the Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. He was born abt 1878 in Arkansas. I think his middle name may be Benjamin and that he was the son of Hilton and Sophia. I do not know if hubby #2 died or they divorced but they had 5 children:
1) Fred born Oct 27 1907 OK - died 02 Mar 1936 in Collingsworth Co TX. He married Ada [ LOWERY] abt 1925-6 in Oklahoma
** more about them later ..........................
2) Lela born abt 1909 Bryan Co OK
3) Veo Lean born 11 Mar 1911 OK - died 09 Jul 1932 in Collingsworth Co TX. She married Rufus Darby JONES on 20 Feb 1926 in Wellington, Collinsgworth Co TX
4) Ruby born 15 Mar 1913 OK - died 19 Jun 1980 in Mt Avesta Co, Colorado. She married William Collin WILSON on 20 Nov 1930 in Harmon Co OK.
5) Frank Haskell born abt 1915 OK - died after 1943 married Jewell Estelle [LOWE] bef 1942.
