I was born in Afton,(Ottawa County) Oklahoma, lived for a time in Miami,(Ottawa County) Oklahoma. My family and I lived for a decade in Tullahoma,(Coffee) Tennessee, and have lived now for many years in Eden Prairie, (Hennepin) Minnesota.

I've long been interested in genealogy, and when I married Donald Ryan Bell, I extended my searches to his family.

My parents are Fred Patterson Jimerson (22623772) and Marguerite Drennan Allison (22638560).

My mother's parents are Hiram Judson (Judd) Allison (22638456) and Annie Lula Nidiffer Allison (22638485). Grandmother was Cherokee, and I too am a registered citizen of the Cherokee Nation.

My father's parents were Adrian Leona Patterson (22623813)and William Henry Jimerson (22623772); they are buried at Oddfellows Cemetery, Woodruff County, Arkansas.

I have been actively researching both his family and mine for quite a few decades now, and am firmly convinced of the value of accurate data on listings such as findagrave.com. We have visited cemeteries where our grandparents and many of our great-grandparents are buried -- even some of the additional greats.

Findagrave.com is a tremendous resource, especially when care has been taken to insure the accuracy of the information provided.I have found it incredibly helpful, and I hope my efforts enable others in their searches.
