Life History

Notes

• "I am kin to the Wooley family.  Howard Arthur Wooley is the son of Thomas Howard Wooley and Mary Ann Brickey.  Thomas Howard Wooley is the brother to my great grandfather Enoch Wooley.  Thomas Howard Wooley was a buffalo hunter.  There is a photo of him in a book with Mary Ann Brickey.  Mary Ann Brickey was from England. ... My great great  grandmother Lyda Byrd was supposed to be Indian. She was supposedly in the Trail of Tears.  I have often wondered if her name was actually Little Bird and they changed it to Lyda Byrd.  She married Andrew Gilmore and her daughter Sada Gilmore married Enoch Wooley."
