remarried after William died] could be Stella’s mother, unless Stella was adopted? Or unless Carrie Woods and
Mandy Eslick Wilson are the same person?]

There seems to be location contradictions all over the place between where Stella and others were born but I
can’t see how there could be two Stella’s with the same husband and family members living both in Oklahoma
and Arkansas. To me it looks like the family moved from Arkansas to Oklahoma and then most of them went
back to Arkansas again. And I really think their grandparents (Bedn & Mary) went to California along with
Samuel Jack and his family. But this is still all conjecture on my part and any info to clear this up would be
GREAT!
OTHER INFO I’VE FOUND BUT NOT VERIFIED:
Pulaski County, Arkansas Marriage Index M-Z 1941-1971:
Wilson, W. J. (age 57) to Miss Maudy Eslick (age 61)
31 Aug 1942
Book 148, pg. 311
I can’t say for sure that this is our Mandy, but the age is about right and Stella’s delayed birth certificate was
signed by Mrs. Mandy Wilson.
