Ora Lee Reyburn and Samuel B. Saddler

28 April 2014

I am looking for evidence that Ora Lee Reyburn is the daughter of John Andrew Johnson Reyburn and Sallie E. Adkins. I have not been able to find that evidence. The connection for me came initially from a Family Tree in Ancestry.com as well as a file from a correspondent from several years ago. I have not found any proof of that.

However, today I did find more information about Ora Lee Reyburn and tracked her down to her death in Custer, Montana. Here is a summary of my research:

Some of my previous research about Ora Lee Reyburn is from March 2011. It includes the following:

27 March 2011. Still looking for proof that Ora Lee is John Andrew's daughter.

A family tree on Ancestry.com lists Ora Lee Reyburn as daughter of John A Reyburn.  Also, she is listed in the 1900 Census in the same household. But the 1910 Census lists her as J.H. Reyburn's niece. I think that she is really his granddaughter instead but looking for proof.
