The info I've received today is just GREAT! As soon as I saw the name Nancy Sanders Quinn, things my mother used to talk about dropped into place. Unfortunately, all the research she did has been lost since her death. I am now getting this all down in logical form on a pedigree. If only my Italian side (father) would be as easy! You are correct regarding George Houston & Otis Quinn Gresham never having children. Only my grandfather, Fred Parks, did: Otis Elbern (Bud), Rose Elizabeth, Noel Houston, & Susie Lucille (my mom). Minnie Lee Gresham was born Minnie Lee Shepperd/Sheppard in Lebanon, TN. Although there were at least 3 other siblings whose names I know in the family, I think the reason I'm having trouble finding them at all is because of the differences in spelling the last name, plus my own inexperience in doing productive research. But thank you so much for your help! Michele cesunamoon@gmail.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
