Jerry, sorry I've been traveling & away from computers for a while. Thanks for sending the names of your deceased Poythress uncles on 4/25. You wrote > Richard(Dick) Poythress, Bruce Poythress (Went by Whaley last name), > Sanford Poythress, and my Dad Walter Poythress. Now actually, from Bruce's message on 4/23 (copied at the bottom here), I kinda wonder if some of the above Poythress men might include your great-uncles -- your Dad's uncles? Also, you might want to check out the photos of some Poythress ancestors at our Poythress Research website at www.Poythress.net (on the left side of the main page, click on "Family Photographs & Artifacts") to see if the photo of Charles Lee Poythress, or the photo of his brother Jenie Warren Poythress, or the photo of Claner Mason Poythress (one of the sons of Charles Lee Poythress) look anything like your Dad, Walter Poythress. All those folks are related to Bruce's family. Let me know what you think.
