Melissa, thank you for looking up this information. This is definitely my family. Mae Jolly Harris is my mother. Her name actually was Estella Mae Jolly. Samuel S. Jolly is my deceased uncle. My mother is also deceased. Are there a pictures in the Alumni book? I pray your grandmother remembers my family. I really need to find the time to get to Holton during the week so I can go to the county seat. I would love to see a map of the actual land. I would also like to know how my grandfather ended up in Circleville. The story is that my grandmother was sent to Kansas City to live after she became pregnant by a plantation owner in Alabama. She supposedly half Black and half Choctaw Indian. She had the baby (a boy named Samuel Oden) and left him to be raised my somebody in KC. After that she went to live with a couple or man (I am not sure.) in Circleville. She maybe worked for them or something like that. She met my grandfather while living there. He was a cowboy who lived at that time in Netawaka. They got married. Somehow they either were given, brought, or homesteaded the land my mother was raised on. I would like to find out which one. My parents never did talk about their pass or history. Most of the things I know I found out through research and people like you. Until recently, my family didn't even know that our family had a root in the South. I guess we just thought we just pop up in Kansas and that was our entire history :). Again thank you for all of your help. I really appreciate it. Let me know if you find out anything else. Sincerely Bonnie
