As to question and answer #'s 264, don't believe this is correct. One of the papers I inherited from my grandfater was a list (reportedly from the family bible) of Presleys children with dates etc and neither Mildred Neville or George Frederick appear. As to Presleys relationship with Lafayette and the marriage's etc, this is correct. I am curious because it is my understanding that the SAR requires detailed proof, yet I have never seen this mentioned nor know of any one who has....interesting? jdfaulk@hop-uky.campus.mci.net wrote: > > Hello Group, > > In going through some of my papers, I found queries from "Kentucky > Kinfolks," which was a genealogy column in the Herald-Post, Louisville, Ky, > in 1936.
