My grandmother never seemed to know much about them. He died and she remarried George Schuchardt. They had a daughter, Daisy (my grandmother). She died (when Granny was four)and he remarried Epsy Jennings. They had a daughter too. These half sisters married the Waters brothers. The sister, Rettie Waters married Wesley Walters. My mother was related to both the Walters and the Schuchardts. Interesting....I'm probably going to drive everyone nuts doing this now. I can't wait to sit down at the computer to see what else is coming in.I think I'm my own cousin..ha. Thanks a lot. If you run across anything about the Grisham son, let me know. Now, I have a name to start with.... Sharon
