Medearis. Mary Alice was the daughter of George W. Headley. Her brothers were John R., Charles, Bill, and George. I have quite a bit of information on the Headley's which a few generations back, came from England. also a bit on the English residency. There are quite a few Johns! My Grandmother Headley and some other members of the family relocated into Missouri and Kansas. Could your John D. be John Dean , married to Mary Lavender?
