My g. grandparents were A. Clyde Wright and Nelle B. Sheppard(Wright). I am looking for information about Nelle's parents and before. Also, I have information on Clyde back until his father Clark, but nothing beyond that. His mother was Rebecca Jane Tennant, which I have loads of info on. If anyone would have any info that I could use, I would be thankful, and if I can help anyone in anyway, please let me know. Also, I remember going to the cemetary where Clark and Rebecca were buried with my mother when I was younger. All that I can remember was going across Liverpoole to Reedy, and then onto 14. I know that we had to go through a gate and drive up through a gentleman's cattle pasture and up a hill. If anyone knows where this is, I would like to visit this spring. Thanks Again

I made a major mistake on the dates on the headstone of W.C. BURDETT--proper dates are:
25 July 1846-21 Feb. 1918
Also those question marks are mine, not in the publication on the year of Josephine BURDETT'S birth.
I'm very sorry about this.
