Hi Carol,
I think we spoke before. Is Eliza Frances Toombs a sister to your Bartholomew? She was born abt. 1869. Married James Willis Byxbe in Pike County, IL. Aug. 12, 1887. My grandmother Emma Lucretia Byxbe was their daughter.Emma married Wm. David Gray. I didn't know Eliza's parents. My mother is named after her. Nora Frances Gray. I know mom said we were related to your grandparents, Fred and Ellen but I wasn't sure how. Eliza was Byxbe's second wife. He had children by both wives. I think James and Eliza lived around Nebo and Rockport areas. Mom grew up in Rockport, Pike County, IL. Do you know Eliza's mother? Do you have other siblings for her and Bartholomew?
Thanks
Janet
