Frances is my maternal grandmother. Esther married Elmer Johnson. Frances married Jasper Douglas. Ruth married Glenn Ury. Esther married Elmer Johnson. Electa married Jewell Whittington, and later Ted Coe. Grover married Lena Lingle. Frances had 3 children, and my mother Frances and my Aunt Lucy are both still living. Also some of their cousins. If you tell me more about your interests and connection with these people, I could probably connect you with the family members who know more. I am curious about a physical trait in this family. One cousin has dark eyes and dark complexion. No one seems to know for sure the origins.I'm kind of hoping the Lyerly's married in with American Indians, but there is some mystery here none-the-less. - Susan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
