Alan,
I'm sorry I'm just getting back to you.I've really been
sick.I'm on my way to getting better hopefully.
I was excited to read what Carolyn Sutton sent to you.
I will try working with this information.I'll let you
know what I find.
You are right about Belinda. I don't understand her reasoning either.Do you know Belinda?I have a first
cousin Cathy Copeland Moore who works in the electric
company there in Philadelphia. She's there ever day.
If you get the chance to meet her, she would be the way
to contact Belinda.Cathy's father (Henry Ethel Jr.) and
my father Wesley Levern are brothers.
I just thought of something.All my life I was told the
story that my grandfather Henry Ethel Sr. (Boy) was from
a family of girls and his father couldn't decide what to
name him. So Ned and Coley never did name him they just
called him "Boy".
Now when Boy was older he decided to name himself.
He was really fond of a older man. No one seems to know
who this man was, but Boy took the name Henry after him.
Do you suppose his father who was Joseph Edger("Ned"), his
mother or Boy's paternal grandmothers brother Henry C. Stewart waswho Boy admired and loved so much to take on
his first name?
Have I confused you?Susan Eliza Stewart md. David William
Copeland.Remember Susan and her mother who was a widow with all of Susan's other siblings moved into Philadelphia
after Hamiton Susan's father was killed in Alabama?
So this brother of Susan's may have spent a lot of Time
with Susan's children, hence the relationship with my
paternal grandfathers name Henry Ethel Copeland SR.?
What do you think?
Jane
