I don't really have much more than you have... if even that. In fact, I think you are the source of some of my information. But, I will add what I have here in case others read this later and want to know more.

Seems that Amy was born 19 AUG 1900 in Coldwater Township, Isabella, Michigan. She has at least two siblings, Grace and Herb Tillman, (don't have the dates or information) but she seems to be the oldest of the three. There may be more siblings.

Her father seems to be "Charles Herman Goodspeed". He may have been born about 1875 or thereabouts. 1880 census is not a help here as far as I can see (may be there and I just don't see it). May have been born in Michigan, or the family may have moved to Michigan when he was very young. I can't hook him in to the "main" Goodspeed family tree. I have a few suspects, but no connections. If anyone has this information I would love to know it.

Mother seems to be Ada Tillman. Middle name may be Jane, but think it is Caroline. She is born 26 Dec 1856 in Barryton, Michigan (Which is the same town Charles Goodspeed may have been born. He at least ends up here before they are married. Don't have marriage dates, but it must have been in or around Barryton within a few years of 1899, assuming Amy was the oldest child).

My notes and scribbles indicate Amy had the first four children with the names as you list above. Amy's husband, Franklin Darnell, died on 9 Dec 1953 also in Barryton. However, (and I am not sure of dates and events here) Amy married a Floyd Henry Quick somewhere around 1924. Unless I have it way wrong, I assume she and Mr. Darnell were divorced. (Again no proof and no dates). She has at least three kids with Mr. Quick, Henry, "Spike" and Glenna. May be other siblings (and I am not sure about the name of "Spike"). These individuals may still be living as they would surely have been born in the late 20's or 30's.

After Mr. Quick, Amy married a third time to a Mr. Lafette Lafe Roberts. It is under the name of Roberts that Amy's social security records are found.

This is all I have. I have the same brick wall as you have on this line. Does anyone out there know any more?
