Riland Baisden/Mary Sowers-Boone Co.,WV

Does anyone have information concerning (James?)Riland Baisden m. to Mary Sowers? Riland & Mary appear in the 1880 Boone Co.Census

I am hoping that they may be the parents of my great grandmother, (Lettie Bell Baisden) Curry.

Riland was shown living next door to his brother, John S. Baisden (Lucinda Curry shown as a visitor in the John S. household). Riland had an illegitimate nephew - James Riland Baisden - living in his household. Could the elder Riland have also been a James/Jim and listed his name as Riland to differentiate himself from his nephew?

Riland was married to Mary Sowers and a Louis was listed among their children. I know that Lettie had a brother, Lou. She may have also had a brother named Isaac (an Isaac Baisden is shown living in the Luke Curry household in the 1910 Logan Co. census along with Lettie & her husband and their children).

A Logan Co.,WV death record for Lettie showed her age as 35 at time of death on Feb. 15, 1919. Marriage record for Lettie & William Curry dated Aug. 6, 1904 showed Lettie's age as 20 at the time. Both of these documents place her year of birth as approx. 1884. Parents were listed as Jim & Mary Baisden on her marriage record.

Any information concerning Lettie, her parents or siblings will be much appreciated.
