Bessey, or "Vashti," as she was known by her sister, Serah Wood Stephens, my 4th gr-grandmother, may help lead me to their birthplace and to their parents. My gr-gr-Uncle, Lamont L. Stephens, an attorney from Nebraska, spent 31 years looking for the Wood family from which the two women came. Four thousand nine hundred pages of information later, Lamont passed away in 1952 without ever finding success. I have been sifting through all those pages for the past six years. I had searched cemetery records, church and census information, but for Vashti Herrington. I see that in some places, Bessey is misspelled as Bassey, which makes searching even more difficult.
