Her dad (deceased) was William Gordon Mitchell, son of William Thomas Mitchell and Burcella Murray, daughter of John Murray and Nancy Ann Elizabeth Lee. William Thomas was son of William Mitchell and Martha A,. (Ann?) Lee, daughter of John Wesley Lee, and sister of George Sylvester. If you would like to surprise her with a message, send it to . I showed her your file but she doesn't know I'm contacting you. We can perhaps help you fill in a few holes in your data. John Wolcott. E-mail:

It should be possible to get info about this from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. By the way, our address is 342 N.W. 29th St. Corvallis OR 97330. I'll consolidate what we have on Burcilla so far and you can add to it:

Divorced ?

That's all I can think of. Is there anything you can fill in. John"
There is a Washington Co., AR marriage record for a Bertha Doss who married Louis Kilpatrick 13 May 1918, Book R, page 286. Could this be another of Berscilla's marriages? Her daughter, Eula, said she had married 4 or more times before her death. However, I could not locate a Louis Kilpatrick on the 1920 OK or AR soundex.
Cousin Wanda Bennett of Independence, KS, showed me a death certificate for Birsee Bercella GIBSON b. 25 Sept 1880 Garfield, AR., d. 26 Nov 1953 Shawnee, OK, cause: carcinoma of cervex.They were married at Freewill Baptist Church.
