Notes:

Benjamin Baskerville (son of Thomas and Mary) and his wife Mallie Clark had Nettie, Robert, Chris, Claude, Charles, Geo. Richard, Edith, Wade, and Homer. Nettie b. 1890, d. 1971, m. Alf Lee and had Jessie, Frank, Robert, Stella, Della, Jim, Alfie (Alpha Jewell), and twins who died. I have had one exchange of letters with Alpha Jewell in Jan. of 1986, but haven't heard from her since. At that time she sent me all the names she knew about. She was living in Texas and had the name Shoemaker, but had lost her husband, so I see from your record that she married a third time to John G. Puckett. At the time I wrote her she was living in La Marque, TX. In 1995, I sent her a copy of the court record about George but did not hear from her.
After my sister and I began our research in Sumner Co., I met Stella, Della, and Robert "Nukie." It has just this minute occurred to me that Robert, whom I think of as Nukie, is the Robert who married Virginia Carter, so may be the one you know about. I stopped by to see Nukie about three years ago and at that time he wasn't well. While I was there he called Stella whom I had met some years before, to tell her I was visiting. My mother and I at some time around the late '80s had also stopped by to see Della. I faintly remember my father and mother taking us to see Nettie and Alf and their kids when I was probably around 8 yrs old. I didn't remember any of them, although Nukie said he remembered me. According to my mother, we went to visit them more than once, but I only remember one time.
I have recently learned that Nukie died.
I have to stop and get busy on Christmas things. I am always way behind. I would be interested in knowing more about your relationship to Nettie. At your website I could not reconcile the name Armstrong with Nettie. If Nettie was your mother-in-law, I would be a second cousin once removed of your son. I was born in 1929. My mother and father moved to Owensboro, Ky. in the late 30's where my mother still lives (and where she came from. My father and mother met in Bowling Green while she was in school there.). My father died in 1973. I live in Calif.

These records seem to indicate that Elmarena was alive at the outset but she is not on the 1860 Census with her family. However, William and Doxey were married in 1853 so Elmarena could not have been his living wife in Oct 1854.

Notes:

Thomas, who was also called Thomas J., (probably Thomas Jefferson, and Richard H. L. probably stood for Richard Henry Lee - although this is speculation on my part), was our ancestor. Until recently we had not been able to find Thomas' wife's name, only that it was Mary and we had been told by Billy Baskerville (son of Charles, bro of Benjamin and Mary Eliz.) of Sumner, that she was called "Dinkie" and that she was from William's Hollow. We now know that her name was Mary "Dink" or "Dinkie" Williams. We knew from census records that her name was Mary, but we finally saw the name Mary "Dink" Williams on the death certificate for Richard, the oldest son of Thomas and Mary. This record was given to me a few years ago by a desc. of Richard.
Thomas J. Baskerville b. 1839 and Mary Williams b. 1844 (figured from census records) had 11 children - Richard b. 1861, Mary Eliz. b. 1863 (she was born in Ky. for some reason, possibly because of the Civil War, but we have no idea why or where she was born in Ky.), John b. 1865, Ben. Franklin b. 1867, Sallie b. 1870, Josephine b. 1872, Chris Columbus b. 1875, Geo. Augustus b. 1878, Cleve O. b. 1884, Charles b. 1881, and Emma b. 1886. My sister got a lot of the Baskerville data that we know about from Cammie Braham, wife of Wade Baskerville, son of Benjamin. I have recently spoken with Wade, and he says Cammie is deceased. [Kay]

Notes:

Seems a big coincidence that her mother-in-law was a McElroy. She could be a McElroy or Minerva could be a McRoy.
