When I inquired as to whether they were possibly stepsisters, (since their father, Archibald Kirkendall was married three different times (1) Ellen MUIR, (2) Eunice NICE, (3) Anne WILT, and possibly Elizabeth was one of the first two children, from Archibald's first marriage) - - - well, nobody really knew the answer to that question. =================================== Date: 1 Apr 2004 GMT, Author: Diane Dunlap wrote: My notes show that Hezekia Bushong, actually begat children by two of the Kirkendall women (Minerva Kirkendall, and Elizabeth Kirkendall) ...snip>.....
