Hi Kay, We have a Cordia Raper married to our Benjamin Allen Gaddis, they lived in Tish, just across the old swinging bridge. I remember them very well, she was very precious to us although we didn't get to visit with them often. Back when they were still alive, it was a long way to travel from Dallas, no super highway system then, had to hit every small town between Dallas and Tish.:) Please visit my web site and see if any of the information is familiar to you. My sister and I have been researching this family since 1980 and have found very few directly linked family members or even anyone who knows them enough to help us. My husband also has family members still living in Tish on his Endsley/Winkler side of the family.... Sorry to go on, just became excited to actually see a posting after all these months of being a member and almost giving up on our Gaddis/Raper family. I will be contacting you privately with more details as how to contact me. I only wish I could attend the reunion, I have so many questions....
