Sylvia: Not sure about George Emerson Marple but Howard Harrison Marple, b 30 Dec 1883 Fred Co VA d 7 Apr 1942 m Ethel May Corns was the son of William Harrison Marple b 1850 Fred Co VA and Caroline Edmonds b abt 1850 in Fred Co VA. I don't have death dates for either of them/. Howard H Marple and Ethel had 6 children one of which I have details on.....he's William Wesley Marple b 1919 and Helen McKinney (1919-1990). I am in contact with their daughter Mollie from time to time. Helen's research made it possible to connect my husband Don's line to all the Marple and Loy families from VA. John Nelson Marple (1842-1923) m to Sarah Criswell (1839-1896) was Don's great grandmother's brother. If you need anything else on this line, let me know.
