You posted in the McGill building thread about Joe, and your leaning towards a Hibler relation which goes with my line of thinking. It's one of those things you run across while researching one thing and find something else interesting along the way (we ADHD folks call them bunnies). I tend to save and store these items within the context they best fit and a hint like dates, names, places, or events will often jog my memory as to where I put it. Lets just say Wadkins or Watkins alone perhaps might not have caught my eye, but the Hibler surname thrown in along with the grandsons name being Lafayette has me digging. I lean towards the spelling of the name as "Wadkins" and I think it was actually "Wadkin" from what I remember. Perhaps this will help, but more detail is needed, and please post here on the message boa! rds because they are a wonderful collaborative research tool. Thanks!
