My great grandmother started life out as Annie Lee White of Texas (where I'm not sure). She was born in 1865 and died in 1953. She married James M. Gray and together they had either 9 or 11 children (I have actual names of 7 of them). We may have a connection here...and I'm still trying to sort out my notes from Dad. Seems my grandfather was a bit of an informal genealogist himself, but info is scattered. If this is a match, then you may be interested in the picture of her I have...she was 52 of the time of the photo. I'm trying to get them onto my website, but time is winning so far:-( Let me know if you have info to confirm or deny "sibling-hood" with Charlie. Oh, almost forgot. Seems my father's recollection is that Lee is a family name, so that may be a determining factor also. Sue Cancio
