Moses Voyles/Ruth Hannah Townsend.
A while back I posted to the Voyles list about what I found on CD 5about what I found on it that they hadMoses Voyles as the son ofJohn Cripps Sr. Vowells. I was wondering where the Dates of William and Hannah Bundy Voyles children came from.
I was going through my packed boxes on some of the Voyles/Voiles family. I now know where they came from.
I found I had a DAR application for Cora Belle Voyles Burks
Cora married Walter Demery Burks
I will post what it says.

I don't understand Able's marriages, I have him married to
Jane Kelly and Catherine S. Huff (another mystery perhaps) Able might have been married four times? Any thoughts.
