My gggg-grandparents were Gilbert and Mary (Wickliff) Vandegrift.Mary was the daughter of Marvel M. and Winny (Dyer) Wickliffe.Gilbert and Mary named their oldest son Marvel M., but he died at about age 2, before they came from Grainger County, Tennessee to Missouri.Later, they named one of their sons Barton M. This is my ggg-grandfather.The M. in his name stood for Minot; however, it may have been spelled Mynatt.Barton always signed his name B. M. Vandegrift.We are not sure, but wonder if this was what the M. in Marvel's name meant.
