Preponderance of Evidence
RECORDS SUPPLIED BY FAMILY MEMBERS
=====================================================
Sent by Lela Sheifer in reference to Son of Amanda Farris's son whom she allowed to be adopted by the Mills family
Below is what I have found in Stone County Arkansas Records that I have
here at home.
You may want to check the Stone County Adoption
Records.
Off hand I do not have the death date of John Thomas Mills, but if Roy
was adopted before he died, there may be something in the Stone County
Letters of Administration naming Roy as an adopted son.
