After seeing a message a couple of weeks ago relating to someone carrying the last name of Ewing, it occurred to me to ask a question that we discuss up in Toledo when we Dickens kin get together. We discuss our in-common kin, James Franklin Dickens, known as Franklin, who, (after a divorce from Delia ( born Miller) Dickens, next Prichard), married a "Poley Ewing" on 1-26-1928, said to be from Saxon in Raleigh County. We laugh as we discuss the tales around these two, since our Franklin admitted to being 65 or so when he married this supposedly 18 year old, while everyone acknowledges that she was closer to 14 at the time. We have discussed the few things we do know about them, that includes that they had children, at least 2 or 3 and we have no idea who they were and what became of them. Most of the oldest generation at our gatherings are grandchildren to Franklin, while he was my Great Grandfather. So it occurs to me that, while Poley, (who may be Polly or something like that) may have died, (if alive she would be today around 90), her children would have been born between 1928 and 1942, so would be from 60 to75 years old today. Poley/Polly would have only been about 28-30 when widowed so easily could have remarried, making her name change again and making her harder to follow. Does anyone know about them? My father, grandson to Franklin by his son, James Ashford Dickens, spoke of them and recalled a name like Lola for a daughter. There are many of us who would be so happy to hear of these folks, so we'd love your help. They were all around coal mining sites in Raleigh county for these years. For a little more background here, James Franklin Dickens was born 9-26-1863, died 5-9-1942, in Packsville ( for those of us who use the Kirk Dickens book as a Dickens family Bible of sorts, Franklin is 2-11-5). For others aware of the Dickens, but unaware of our Franklin, his line goes this way....Thomas Dickens (brother of Ephraim), son James Dickens (wife Susannah Webb), then son, Franklin <: <: <: <:<: <: <: <:<: <: <: <:<: <: <: <:<: These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter.....
