My father William Erwin Sides was born in Rector, Ar. Clay County in 1912. We have found information here in Nevada, that a Richard D. Sides, from North Carolina, traveled to Nevada in the early 1840's. His father was Leonard Sides. Richard also had a brother William, all from NC. Richard's name was written in a family bible, in Oklahoma, which we have reason to believe their is a connection. However, I am having difficulty finding out more about this particular SIDES family. Richard D. married a Merinda Burdick in Virginia City, NV around 1862. Also, the name Penrod, is mentioned with having married into this family. Merinda and the Penrod's also have lived in Illinois. I would appreciate any help anyone might provide. Thank you, Sandy "SIDES" Castor Carson City, Nevada.
