Hello, Becky,
I guess by now you've got this sorted out, but just in case:
Your ancestor Richard Standridge and Willie Nelson's ancestor Alexander Elisha Standridge were first cousins. Alexander Elisha was Willie Nelson's gg-grandfather. That makes Willie Nelson and Richard Standridge first cousins, four times removed.Since Richard was your gg-grandfather, it also makes you and Alexander Elisha first cousins, four times removed. And it makes you and Willie Nelson fifth cousins.
Your and Willie's closest common direct ancestor was the Alexander Standridge who was patriarch of the Northern Arkansas Standridges when that branch of the family moved from South Carolina to Georgia to Tennessee to Illinois and then to Arkansas.
Alexander was also your and my closest common direct ancestor. We are also fifth cousins.
I have very little info on the descendants of Alabama Standridge and Richard William Hubble -- just their children and then the children of Delia Belle Hubble by Earnest Joy Chesnut and Willis Arthur Skelton. If you would be willing to share more info on Alabama descendants, I would really appreciate it. A gedcom file would be most convenient for me, but whatever's convenient for you is fine. Thanks!
