Hi John, do you have any proof that Henry (old Henry married a Sizemore). I tried to prove that trhere was Maimie Sizemore, dtr of George All Sizemore, years ago, and ended up not proving it and locating a different wife. I exchanged msgs with Sizemore researchers, and they also did not have a Sizemore married to a Begley. I know that many authors have written this, and copied each other. But, not one had any proof. I hope you have something.
