I am assuming that Nick is short for Nicholas or something. The McKinney boys did not talk about their father and no one really know much. I have ordered a copy of the marriage license and hope that it will lead to another clue in this mystery. I know that once my grandmother said that Betty left Nick and married Mr. McCoy but now is saying he died. I am going to follow the other scenerio to see if it plays out anywhere. Again, thanks for your reply. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
