HELP!! I am at a dead end!! Anybody out there that can throw me a crumb it will be greatly appreciated!! This is what I got: My grandmother (Mary D. Blevins) born 1896 her brother (Roby Blevins) born 1893 and there father (Peter Blevins) born 1857 were listed in the Gilbert Penix household as grandchildren and widowed son in law in the 1900 Greenup County, KY Census. I got my grandmothers (Mary D. Blevins) death certificate and her mothers maiden name was listed as Elizabeth Meadows!! Gilbert Penix married an Eada Meadows in 1857. His wife in the 1900 Census was listed as Polly. So I am assuming Eada had passed away between 1863 and 1900 as there Daughter Minerva Penix was born in 1863. Was Elizabeth the illegitimate daughter of Gilbert and Eada? Or just Eada? Was she from a previous marriage? Why was Peter and family listed as son in law and grandchildren? Did Elizabeth die giving birth to my grandmother? The family story is Mary D. Blevins parents died when Mary was very young and she was raised by the Meadows. What meadows? Why not the Penix family? When Mary grew up she married a William Cooper of Greenup County, Ky. Her cousin Myrtle Penix married Williams brother Tom Cooper. Myrtle's parents were John Penix born 1867 and Sarah E. Meadows. Was this the Meadows family that raised Mary? How were they related to Eada and Elizabeth? Any help on what to do or where to look will be appreciated. Thank you all for listening, Ed Cooper
