I am not for sure what county lila was born in but if it wasn't shelby county it was cherokee co. are ponola... I am doing a search.. On Obe. I know his farher was john D McCauley and I hvae look in some other family trees postings and some how he is being left out.so this is makeing it a hard job. most of John D McCauley children where born in San Augustine. .. and from what I gather he was a very busy man.. 17 kids.. 3 wifes, but not all at the same time... I don't think.. let em hear from you on this maybe you have something that I don't.. thanks Steven McCauley
