Does anyone know the parents of Riley McGhee or his wife, Louisa Byrge / Byrd? Also, does anyone know how Brassfield McGhee would have brothers, Walter and Ed Bunch? The 1910 Campbell Co census says that Louisa Byrge was married only once. Then, Brassfield's sisters, Norene and Ora, don't appear To be in the census. Does anyone know anything about them? Lastly, can anyone shed some light on Brassfield's wife, Marie Edington, Robinson. or Roberson? Her true last name? I currently have her parents as Richard Elmer Edington and Serepta Burris.
