      Ellen Reed-Walsh:

      1. "Sarah M Swafford was born on 08 Nov 1866 in Missouri and died on 29 June 1919 (a month before her twin sons' 10th birthday) in Oklahoma. She is buried in Holdenville, OK. When she passed away, William B put an advert in the newspaper for someone to help with the household cooking and cleaning and looking after the twins Bill & Teddy. He ended up marrying the lady who responded to the ad (Blanche) in September of the same year and she and her two children moved in and Blanche and William B were together until he died."

      2. "Sarah's father was Thomas H Swafford (b. 23 May 1844 in Tennesee, d. 05 Feb 1927 in Oklahoma), married on 24 Sept 1863 to Malissa Jane Andrews. They had 10 children together over the span of 25 years (they are all listed on ancestry.com fairly accurately). Malissa Jane was born c1850 in Missouri and died on 26 Dec 1892 in Missouri a few years after the birth of their youngest child. Thomas lived with his eldest daughter Mary's family in Oklahoma until his death after Malissa Jane died."

      3. "Thomas Swafford's father was a John (or Jack) J Swafford born c1800 in Tennessee, died 29 Sep 1879 in Missouri. He was married to a lady named Eliza (surname unknown) born c1818-21 in Tennessee, died 20 May 1883 in Missouri. It would appear that the family migrated from Tennessee to Missouri when Thomas and his 2 brothers were children."

      4. "William T Toney (b 29 July 1909, d 8 April 1994) and LaDora Boardman (b 13 June 1913, d 14 April 2000) had 5 children: Billy Jr. and his female twin (Billy Jr. lived to about 2 years old and his twin died shortly after birth), Son Toney (b. date omitted), Paula Toney (b. c1937 d. c1993) and Daughter Toney (b. date omitted).
