Sound interesting. I had an uncle who was deputy sheriff in Racine, Wisconsin, he was Royal Lowden, son of Cora Mae Hooker from her first marriage. I find in research that many family members, although unbeknownst to them at the time, seem to move to the same locations and marry back into family. Isn't that odd?
