Paula, I have been holding on to this letter for for a few weeks now. I don't know how it is all connected, but my dad Paul Dixon and his sister back in the 1930's had three cousins named Bayless: Icy, Maude, and Bertha. I believe their aunt's name was Alice Bayless. This was in Brown County, Ohio. Bertha became a Reighly. her husband was either mayor or police chief of Winchester, Ohio at the time. Either Icy or Maude had a son Howard. Bertha had a son Elmer. Do any of these names sound familiar? Thanks. George C. Dixon criptofthetomb3@aol.com wrote: >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Surnames: SPARKS TOLLE COLE AND BAYLESS >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WBB.2ACI/2705.1.1.2 > >Message Board Post: > >Hello.
