Floyd was Chester's son. Please give me a clue about Lillian, the name is tickling my memory. My father's father and the father of Leon, Chet, and Lloyd has been known by Henry Calvin, Henry Hutsel, Hutsel Calvin, Henry Hutsel Calvin, and more commonly H.C. I think that Hutsel Calvin is on his tombstone - I can check that. He and my grandmother Lillie Mae Byrd were married in North Carolina and are buried in a cemetery on US Hwy 64 east of Conway AR. Several of their descendents are also buried there. Many of Floyd's children and descendents live near Conway and Vilonia AR. H.C. and Lillie Mae were from near Bakersville NC. Most of their near relatives never really left there. I sort of grew up playing with Floyd's children. I knew him and his father Chet and met Leon a few times when he came to Arkansas in 1960's to visit my father Clyde E. Wise. My father died in 1990. He was H.C.'s youngest child, from what we think was H.C.s 3rd marriage. Dad knew all the children from the 3 marriages. I will quiz my mother and get back with you but regretfully I may be very slow about it. Has anyone else replied to your post?
