I'm looking for any information on my grandparents, William
L.& Georgia Watkins and their two sons William S. &
Walter Hudson. We believe that the two sons were in the Cornish
Orphanage in Ringling, OK about 1917 to 1925 time period. William
Watkins, the elder, ran a pool hall in Pontotoc County, probably
in the town of Allen in 1910. Any info you h ave on these people;
the town of Allen; or the Cornish Orphange would be greatly
appreciated.

Do you know if there ever was a Union Valley School there in
Jefferson county, Ok.. I have a picture of a Letha Ann Peniston
who went to school there back in the 50's. In the picture she
looks to be about 7 to 8 years old. I would sure would like to lo
cate her since she may be related. Years ago some of relatives by
the name of Peniston lived in or around Waurika and Ryan, Ok.. I
have a lot of old pictures dating back to the late 19 teens and
early 1920's of people and the area.

I am searching for Lula Ella JORDAN and her brother Commodore
(yes, that is his name). Lula named one of her children after
him. She was born abt 1878 or so in OK, some say around Chickasaw
(spelling) area. I assume that Commadore is older. They wer e
orphaned and she was said to have been raised in Buckners
Orphanage in Dallas area, but I have checked and there are no
records of either of them. Commodore lived out his life in
Beaumont, CA area and Lula married Joseph Wallace SLATE and lived
in Fort Worth area. I have been unable to locate any records or
proof of existence of Commodore, other than family members
recalling his visits. I find Lula only after her marriage.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am beginning to wonder
if Jordan is really their name--although on death cert. it is
shown. I wonder about Commodore - some say he was a gambler in
CA, maybe he "hid" from records?!?!?! I would think
Commodore wo uld be a family name, perhaps his mothers or maybe
some one held that title? Thanks for your help.
