His first wife was ETHEL L. CHANCE and they had four children. After Ethel's death, he married CLAIRE DAVIS. I know very little about my grandfather's family in Celina. Some of the names are:GRANVILLE, JOHN ALVIN, FRANK, CHARLES, but I don't know the relationship between them. Any help will be appreciated. Lynn

FORD, CARTER

I am looking for information on Mary Jane Ford. She is my great-grandmother. Her son Virgil Carter is my grandfather. I recently found her name in an obituary for another son of hers, but I am unable to locate any other information on her. I believe her dob was probably 12-07-1872. I have been led to Clay County through another posting that includes her name, but I am unable to reach that individual as their e-mail address is no longer valid. The other posting had her father as Lisby? (or ?Leslie) Ford. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Suzie Carter gizmoc@theremc.com
