Four are together, Otis, age 35; Maxine, age 8, Francis, age 6, and James C., age 4 on page 14B Geary, Roane, West Virginia. On page 12A there is Lucila age 10 and Harry L. age 2, living with their grandfather William P. Drennen, age 76, and his wife, Estle, age 40, and their sone, age 20, Ronnie or Romie. There is also a Martha Abshire in residing as a hospital inmate at age 76 or 16. In 1920 I found James O. Abshire, age ?, living in Geary, Roane, West Virginia on page 12A with wife Mary L., age ?, Howard, age 8, ??Malaine, a??, age 6, Alford, age 5, and William age 2 and one-half. What connection do you know of these family to Chickasaw? If the above is on the right track hopefully we can be of further help. Sincerely, Mike Peterson
