    1. [KYJP-L] Fisk twins
    2. Barbara Lawson
    3. I have been looking for my gr-grandfather's twin brother. I am not certain of his name due to terrible writing on the censuses. John Wesley Fisk was my gr-grandfather. He married Laura Candis Bazzell. His father was John Fisk and his mother was Lourenia Bridges. I believe his twin's name is Byron Walker Fisk, but that would only be a guess. I have nothing to tell me his name, I don't know if he died at a young age or on old age. I found them as 5 yr olds on the 1860 census and as 15 yr olds on the 1870 census (both Graves Co., KY). They were born December 15, 1854. The other siblings to the twins were: Melissa Jane, James, Alfred, and Sarah. I know nothing about the siblings either. John Wesley moved to Arkansas and died there. His body was shipped back to KY to be buried. My mother and her sister are the only living grandchildren. They say they never heard the twin's name. Some of the Bible records spell the last name with an "e" at the end. My grandmother used both spellings. I would like to know what happened to this family (inc. where they're buried) and I would love to communicate with some of their descendants. Any help would be more than greatly appreciated.
