My ggrandfather, Isaac, was 8th child and b: 1859 in MS. He also ran a grocery store in Delta in the early 1900s. My mother was born in 1920 and remembers being a small child and going to his store. I have Robert B. as the second son, 2 years younger than John. I am working on Martha's parentage. I am looking at a Thomas Jones m. to Elizabeth Lyll (Dalton) but haven't verified that connection. Would love to have any information you might have. Regards, Joyce
