(How many could there be? ha ha) The only GG grandmother/wife I am aware of is Carry Black Hern. However, as it turns out, Carry is not my G grandpa's birth mother. Overton Hern had a 1st wife, so why not a 3rd!! :-) What would a genealogy-hobby be with out mysteries & skeletons?! Thank you very much, Renee
