Hi Billie,
I tried to email you, but it bounced back.I too am descended from Jesse Peter Earles and Mary "Polly" Boyd Earles.Jesse Peter and Mary had a son named Jesse Peter, who married Susan Elizabeth Perdue Earles.They had a son named John Monroe Earl.John Monroe was my grandfather.
It was only a few weeks ago that I even learned his parents names!Now I have copies of lineages from John Monroe Earl all the way back to Thomas Earles, but cannot seem to find out anything much about John Monroe.I know he was born either in Wayne County WV, or in the Ironton, OH area in 1866.He had always claimed he was born in Wheeling, WV, in 1863.He also had been married twice.
He and his first wife (name unknown) had at least three children together, two sons and a daughter.The daughter was named Goldie, and one son was named Rudy.I don't know the other son's name.I also do not know where or when they were married, or where/when the children were born.He went on to have 10 more children by his second wife, Sovenia (Venie) Singleton Earl.
He was section foreman for the ICRR in Brookport, IL.He died in Anna State Hospital in 1949.If you, or anyone else reading this reply, knows anything about John or his first wife and set of children, please, email me at [email protected]
Thanks
