Margie would like to have more information on the families of Arminda Jane McGAUGH and William Wesley and wife, Josephine CALCOTE.
While in the MS Archives recently, a new acquisition of the Archives was a book on the PRESTRIDGE Family. This family came to the northwestern portion of Winston Co and the southern part of Choctaw Co. The PRESTRIDGES married into the COLEMAN and COOPER Families. If interested in this book, contact Ralph CROSBY, 3246 Conway Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70809-1534 for availability and price.

Margie was also kind enough to submit her McGAUGH family line as she is having difficulty with the younger generation in the group. I hope that relatives living in Choctaw will be kind enough to respond to her query. (Address and email link are listed at the beginning of column.)
