    Aley Deboard was my great grandmother and I have a lot of information on that family. Some of the information you have is incorrect.
    She was married three times, 1) Charley Reese. They had a daughter, Ora, born June 8, 1892. Many Deboard family members think that Aley and Charley were never really married and Ora was born out of wedlock.
    Aley then married 2) Isaac Jenkins - A marriage record was found for "Icaac L. Jenkins to Aley A. Reese, 8 Sept. 1896, officiated by W.J. Bess, married at Howell Co., Courthouse, West Plains, Missouri. Book 5." They had my grandfather, Fred Jenkins, November 9, 1897. He died in 1967. Isaac and Aley couldn't get along. He supposedly met a 17-year-old in Willow Springs, MO and they ran off together sometimes in 1898, never heard from again, not even by her family.
    In the 1900 census Aley had again re-married to John Hope:
    (Howell Co., Mo):
    Hope, John J., head of household, jan. 1855, 45, b. MO, father b. TN, mother
    b. TN
    Alis, wife, May, 1872, 28, IL, IL, IL
    William, son, Jan. 1880, 20, MO, MO, MO
    Edward, son, March 1885, 15, MO, MO, MO
    Lula, daughter, March 1889, 11, MO, MO, MO
    Roy, son, July 1894, 5, MO, MO, MO
    Jenkins, Freddie, step-son, November 1897, 2, MO, MO, IL

    Obviously that didn't last long because in 1910, she is living with her brother. She died in 1918 in Oklahoma and is buried outside of Davenport, Oklahoma.

    The "Fullerton" that is mentioned is incorrect. That is actually my grandmother, Vera Fullerton, who married my grandfather, Fred Jenkins, Aley and Isaac's son.

    Thanks for all your help. I do have most of Aley's brothers and sisters and
    their families if you are interested. My grandmother lives in Mtn. View,
    Mo., in Howell Co., so she keeps up with the families that are still there.

      The letter contained in the source was an email from Libby Salter (Isaac "Link" Jenkins and Aley Deboard's - their son Fred Jenkins and wife Vera Fullerton - Unkown Jenkins and wife - to Libby Jenkins, now Stalter. So Aley and Link were Libby's great grandparents. It was sent by Libby to Debord/Deboard researcher Hurshel Debord. I found it posted in his Rootsweb WorldConnect file: "Debord Surname (various spellings)". The letter is presently found at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hld&id=I07986
      Hurshel's email address is hldebord@sbcglobal.net
