Dorothy, > 3 dau: Leila Newkirk,(This is my GGmother) Visalia, Ca; > This was posted last week (copy of one of your earlier emails). Which Newkirk did Leila marry, and who were his parents, grandparents, etc. I am looking for connections with descandents of Abraham Taylor Newkirk, particularly my 3g uncle William L. Newkirk who married Anne Mary Belle "Aunt Belle" Marsh, d/o Benjamin James Jordan Marsh and Permelia Williams. I know they had adaughter Cora who married Luther Fortner (and I knew both of them, we visited with them in San Diego when I was growing up). We also visited in Torrance frequently (reunions, etc.) with Roy and Thelma Newkirk. My mother doesn't remember her maiden name. Roy was the son of Elmer and Stella ?? I am also curious where Loyd Newkirk who married Gail Ruark (mother a Fortner), fits in. I don't know how thoroughly you've studied these folks. I can't find William L. and Anne Mary Belle in the 1920 Dade Co census,where my mom is sure they are, but I think they may have lived just over the line in Lawrence Co. Thanks, Janet
