Hi I am brand new to the mailing list since I found a Pike county connection so here goes... I am searching for information on Andrew Franklin Hale and assorted kinfolk. There was a marriage license issued in Bristol VA on Oct 1, 1915 for Andrew Franklin Hale age 22, born in Sullivan county TN, laborer and employee of AH Burroughs, son of R.L. and Eva Hale and Lessie Authur, born in Corbin KY child of F.M. and Alice Luthur. It was returned signed indicating they had married. on his draft registration card he listed his occupation as teamster and on the 1930 census he indicated he was a coal miner. Because there are no coal mines anywhere near Sullivan county TN or Bristol I am assuming he went into that area to work (since he married a local girl from there) By 1919 he had married again. Leah Hale was his first cousin and gave birth on Jan 24, 1924 to Ottie Victor Hale in Pike county KY. Apparently she never married the father and returned to Bristol at some point because in the 1930 census we find her son living with his grandmother (her mom) but she was not in the home. The grandmother received a check each month for his care from 1931-1934 from an account that was listed "RH Goodwin vs Pochantas Fuel Company". Any information on ANY of this would be greatly appreciated Thanks Becky actively researching Hales and Baldwins at the moment one for each side of the family ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
