Bloyed or Bloyd?
If pronounced the same as Floyd, others would spell it the same--unless the silent "e" was pointed out. It seems they did point out the silent "e" for family gravestones. Where they reflecting more on their family history in Scotland/Northern Ireland? --Randy |
Graham Marriage
 |
Eli married Mary Ann Graham April 27, 1806 in Green county, Kentucky.
Mary (called Polly) was born in South Carolina on December 5, 1788. Families
Is this a picture of Mary Yoes (wife of Wilson McClendon Tigard) as claimed by Thomas Whitmore of Portland vinemapple@earthlink.net on 7-8-2012? It doesn't seem likely Mary would have lived long enough for photography since she died at about the beginning of the Civil War. The subject of the picture seems to be in her 40s maybe. Source of picture unknown. |
