Good Morning Bettye, and Everyone on the List, I meant to ask last night about Stanley Jackson Nash. I have Stanley's parents listed as STONEWALL JACKSON "JACK" NASH born 1871, in Missouri, and MARY ELIZABETH (SMITH) NASH. My mystery is that I cannot find out who Stanley's Grandparents are on the NASH Side. I have many "Could Be s", but no proof. It is a well known fact that STONEWALL (Stanley's father) also committed suicide in 1936. Can Anyone out there help with this NASH Mystery, Just another in a Long Line.............Are there and Grandchildren of STANLEY, or siblings GOLDINE (Nash) Coleman or WILFERT NASH out there, who may be able to help? Please email me off of the List, so we do not slow it down. You can do so at: ograndma1@sbcglobal.net Hope Everyone has a Wonderful Thanksgiving.
