LARKIN, 8/1870. These two fams. lived on neighboring farms in Dent Co., 1860 & 1870 census, with the Larkins knowing Thomas since he was 10 yrs old. George's 2d wife (my Great), ODEAL (nee unknown) was ALOT younger than George, had 9 children with him (wonder if at least the last one was George's or Thomas' child). Apparently, George discovered an affair between Thomas and Odeal, and when Thomas was confronted by George, there was a fight in which George was stabbed and died. Am seeking any info on this event, and would like to have both sides of the story. Don't worry - its water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned - I am just curious, and would like to fairly present the story in my data.
