I have only been able to bet information from my mother who has now passed away.  She never met her grandparents on her father's side because they were dead before she was born.  She only could go by what he would talk about.  I know he was the only boy in the family of six or seven and I believe he was the baby.  My mother was raised in what you would call the sticks and I mean sticks.  There is only one member left in the family and she was much younger than my mother and she has dementia.  My grandfather married Laura Moss around 1912 daughter of Andrew and Rosa Moss.  My grandmother was born in Staunton, VA around 1891.  My grandfather died in  Dec 1961 in WV from dementia.  Then complete contact with his family was lost because his sisters married people with different last names.  I do know he had strong ties to the Richmond area and had a nephew by the name of Dewey who made the newpapers in Richmond for going to the movies for
 50 years without missing one.  So they give him a life time pass.  I have no census, death, or marriage on anyone else.  Thank you Sue.
 
Sincerely,
Keith Dixon
