I'm rather new at this and there's such a plethora of information nowadays. >From the 1900 census, R.P is definitely Rosa Pearl {Bowles}, born in Indiana, father was Tomas Bowles from Ireland, and her mother was Mary Ann Lantoff from Indiana. This information is corroborating my research to date. The G.T. {son} would be Grover T. Drake, my grandmother Lillian Drake's older brother. Again, thank you! Shavonna Portue
