Amy: So sorry for being so long in getting back to you but it's been a busy time.I don't have my data right in front of me but I will get back to you on what I have in a day or so. If not and I get busy email me again at above email- OK? Roy Dotts's mother was related to my grandmother through her Aunt.(from Clearfield PA)(who was in the line of McCrackens of PA.When I was a young girl Roy Dotts came to visit us when we lived in Everett, WA. (He was in the army at the time) His sister Matilda Dotts (who married a man named Short) lived in California and was a grower of oranges.My grandparents visited her there as did my brother years later. I do have info on them too. I have sent this info to others that are closely related to the family.Interestingly enough, when Roy Dotts retired from the military he came to Seattle here and worked for years at Boeing Airplane Co. and lived in West Seattle area.This we didn't know at the time -he had a son named Roy Jr. who we found out later worked at a gas station (76) that my husband and I went to but weren't aware of the family connection.Too bad.I am trying to search further for the son, Roy Jr. who has since retired also.At any rate I have the death certificate of Roy Sr who died here in Seattle at the Veterans Hospital of complications of Diabetes. His wife died a few years later in a town just north of us here.Do keep in touch.Dorothy Davis Collings
