Jennie had a cousin named William, he had three sons one was named Gibby ( Charles) Durant. He was killed between 1910 and 1913 at a dance. Does your Uncle remember hearing anything about him by chance. He also was married to Nora(h) Cravens and they had a son Luther Calvin born in 1910. Can not find him after a guardianship request by Frank Sears who married Nora. Luther would be my husbands great uncle.
