Ms. Hutchens,I've placed this on another posting you've made elsewhere on this forum.I've continued the search through my records and found your ancestors without a doubt.This posting supersedes the one I made yesterday when I wrote in part:
I do have a record of James Raleigh GUFFIE b. July 29, 1903 in Macon Co., N.C. d. July 27, 1965 in Humboldt Co., CA. I have his wife's name as Kittie E. RAMEY b. Sept 29, 1907 d. Nov 27, 1995 in Humboldt Co., CA. Their names were written in birth records as the parents of these children:
1) James A. GUFFEY b. Aug 13, 192_ in Macon Co., N.C.
2) Odell Stanley GUFFEY b. Nov 11, 192_ " " "
3) Frank E. GUFFEY b. July 5, 193_ " " "
4) Rufus H. GUFFEY b. July 17, 193_ " " "
5) male GUFFEY b. Jan 13, 1937 " " "
6) Carl D. GUFFEY b. Apr 12, 193_ " " "
Names are spelled as found in the records "GUFFEY".
NOW I can fill in the blanks I thought existed yesterday.I have found the family sheets for "Raleigh James GUFFIE" which was out of place in my records.This is what my records contain:
Of the above children, the full name is Carl Don GUFFIE/EY; Rufus Harman GUFFIE/EY; John David GUFFIE/EY; and those not listed above:
7) Charles Robert b. Feb 19, 19--
8) Mary Louise b. Apr 18, 19--
9) Annie Jean b. Mar 8, 19--
10) Wade Nelse b. Nov 12 19--.
