My GILMORE/LEE/SMITH/GRIDER/PYLES/CRAMER/JENKINS connection It is so confusing, since everyone kept marrying back into the family. My big problem is figuring out who(Phebe GILMORE) my great grandmother's parents are. This is a long post, broken out as a list, relationship, then dates. Hope you can make it through it. The JENKINS line does show up, mid way down. My great great grandmother's sister married my great grandfather's 1/2 brother. My great grandfather's 1/2 brothers daughter married my grandfather (James Edgar JENKINS), and when she died my grandfather married her 1/2 cousin and my grandmother. Jinnie LEE m. ?GILMORE/GALLYMORE their daughter -Sarah GILMORE/GALLYMORE, m. David SMITH daughter of Sarah and David SMITH =Sarah Ann SMITH , m. William Patterson GRIDER 2 daughters of Sarah Ann and William Patterson GRIDER = -Nancy GRIDER, m. Francis M. PYLES, and Arlebell GRIDER m. Ben F. CRAMER daughter from Nancy and Francis PYLES = Melvina Milinda Ann PYLES m. William H. CRAMER. daughter from Arlebell GRIDER and Ben F. CRAMER =Nancy CRAMER, m. James Edgar JENKINS when Nancy CRAMER died, James Edgar JENKINS m. Delores Elenea CRAMER, daughter of William H. CRAMER and Melvina Milinda Ann PYLES.

Mindley GRIDER married my great grandfather's 1/2 brother Ben Franklin CRAMER. Nancy GRIDER married my great great grandfather Francis(Frank) M. PYLES, who is the father of my great grandmother Melvina Milinda Ann PYLES, who married William Harrison CRAMER. Parents of Mindley Arlabell and Nancy GRIDER William Patterson GRIDER b. 1824 m.
