I have never been able to find Barthena and Park on any census together. I did find her listed with John/Frances' family. In the 1900 Clay Co Tn Dist #1. The next year she was listed by herself with an Albert W. Short listed as boarder. I think Albert might be Frances' father. I have John and Frances' death certificates. Frances was the informant for John's cert. but Buelah was the informate for Frances' cert. John's parents names are suppose to be Park Dunning and Barthena Brown. I think Park must be a middle name, but Barthena must be her first. As for Frances' parents they are listed as Abb Short and Jane Smith. The Albert Wilson that I think is Frances' father is the son on William Short and Rebecca Brown. I wonder if Barhtena and Rebecca are related. Also my other great-grandmother was a daughter of William Short and his second wife Malinda Coe. I hope this helps. Thank you again. Sheri
