Karen - I have no idea the names of R.R.'s siblings. The 1850 census listed only I.B., age 1. From R.R.'s letter of 1897 we know there were other siblings but we have no knowledge of their names. R.R. and his wife, Mary Ann, were very religious and were members of the Methodist Church South. The church split during the Civil War! Was not reunited until 1938. Anyway, R.R. was a very prolific writer of his intrepretations of the bible. Many of his articles were published in the Central Texas Conference newspaper. He never mentioned any of his family in these articles. I have many of his handwritten articles. If you have other ideas, let me know. Anyone else out there with any ideas? Ray Jenkins Fort Worth, TX
