Mable's maiden name is Staley. She is alive and lives in Missouri. She is about 80. If the Joe and Mable you are speaking about were alive when your gran was a child then it is unlikely these are the same people. Just a coincidence of names. However, we do have family roots in Ohio in the late 1800's. It could be some branch from that time that has us related. If I learn more I will gladly let you know. Archie
