Hi Mel! I ran across your post and saw too many coincidences to pass up! My Mother was Roxy York. b 1907 in
Alpine, Overton co. Tn. She had an older brother Carson York and a sister Lillian York b 1905. My grandmother was Minnie York, but Her maiden name was Fowler, and My grandfather was Nathan York. I have never heard the name Dillard mentioned or the Garrett surname in my family. I can tell you that Nathan and Minnie were divorced abt 1915 and abt 1920 Minnie and the 2 girls moved to Hutton Valley Mo. I don't know what happened to Carson, but Lillian married Wesley Peoples and they moved to California. My mother married my father, John W. Carroll in 1929 at Hutton Valley and they had 8 children, 5 boys and 3 girls, of which I was the youngest. I was born in 1952 Willow Springs, Mo.My grandfather Nathan remarried and had other children. He died in 1963 at Lenoir City, Tn. The names and ages of my mother, aunt and uncle in your post are too exact to be coincidence. please let me know what you find out. You can contact me directly at
many regards... John W. Carroll
