Mary Catherine was my grandmother and Mabel Frances is my mother. My grandmother lived in Frog Hollow, Lewisburg, W/VA. where I was born. I am a sister of your grandfather Ernest Preston Cruise (changed his name to John Cruze) Where is your grandfather and is he still living? I lost track of him when mother died and last I heard he was in Yuma, AZ and I have no address for him. I live in Deer Park, TX with my husband and we have two grown sons and 3 grandsons.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
