It's the "elephant in the room" few members are willing to admit. Jane is listed as having different parents, according to which family tree you have. One has her listed as Levi's niece. She married Elis Kidd (Floyd County, Ky.) I believe there could be a female from his line to test. Levi had an affair, and Elis Kidd was raised by a man named Kidd.
