Isaac's mother, Frances "Fannie" Hampton-Bright was adopted by my G-G-G-Grandparents, the Blevins of Pulaski Co., Arkansas. I know that she died sometime before the 1910 census and that her family moved to Abilene, Tx. Her husband, Jackson Bright, remarried and had 3 more children. If you have any info on her death and where she is buried, I would be thankful. Also, if you have any pictures of her, that would be so great. If there is any info that you would like on her sisters, I would be happy to share. Thanks

HI, I'm kin to the Henry Franklin King who married Pearl Brinkley. Henry or Ben as we called him had a son named Marvin Henry King. Marvin Henry (Bob) King married Edna Mae Loggins and are my maternal Grandparents. I haven't done much research on this side of my family as I have been concentrating on my fathers side of the family but would be really interrested in any information you might could give me on the King side. A lot of the Kings (including my Grandpa) are burried in the old McDonald Cemetery close to where my Grandmother still lives and I'd be happy to go over and take photos for you if you don't have pics of some of the headstones.
