Need copy of actual death certificate..may name wife.. also ck for Will or estate records When we get a case like this, it is so IMPORTANT to DOCUMENT as best we can. We still lack marr rec of Thomas H. Revis and Mary Shephard, and any other wives he may have had, with the exception of Mary Ann Hookes, which you located. We lack exact birth data...and of course lack much data on the many chn. *Barb
