Hello Bobbi:
I understand from Patti that you are one of our cousins. Hey Cuz;Aljain was born in 12/15/1874 according to his death certificate.We are not sure where he was born but was married to Laura Bell Keylon.There was a story about his name being changed because the courthouse spelled it wrong on a deed for some land, so he just went with the new spelling.Don't know how true any of it is though.I would greatly appericate it if you could email me any information you have on any jiles, keylon, or fuller from that area. including ref numbers for microfiche films or vital records.we have really been up against a brick wall with Aljain for about 10 to 12 years now.I know you have been working with patti on this but I need to get as far as I can as quickly as I can.I know that my mother won't last much longer and I would like to get her as much on this as I can before.She is Aljain and Laura's daughter.Rhoda Ellen Jiles.she really thought a lot of her dad.And she would love to know more about him.My mom used to have a picture of her grandad that showed him with one arm,it was said that he had lost it in the war.According to Patti his name was B. F. Jiles.I think I read on the forum maybe from one of your entrys that his name was Benjamin Franklin Jiles.and that Aljain was from a second marriage to Lizzie
Thanks for your quick response and in advance for any help you can render for me.
