Todd,
I have done more research on this line and have found that William Dennis Noles' parents were Dennis Noles and Susan Griffis. Susan's parents were John Griffis and Mary Ann Wren of North Carolina and Heard County. We are trying to connect this Mary Ann Wren to William Wren, who was the father of my Eliza Wren who married William Leroy McWhorter. We believe they may be brother and sister. Susan Griffis Noles is buried at Powell's Chapel and we believe the Mary Griffis grave with no dates is her mother. William Wren and his wife, Martha Wilson, also moved from Heard to Carroll. They later moved to Cullman, Alabama. William is buried there but Martha is buried at Bethel in Carroll County, as are several of the Wren children.
I have spoken on the phone and met with your cousin Helen who has been a tremendous help. I have rough Xerox copies of a photo of the triplets and the family photo you mentioned but I would love to have an actual photo. I have a photo of William Leroy McWhorter and Eliza Wren taken sometime before 1894 when Eliza is thought to have died. I also have several photos of my grandfather, John Allen McWhorter, and his wife, Sarah Jane Payne. I would LOVE a copy of the funeral book you mentioned.
Many thanks for your reply. Will definitely be in touch.
Judy
