ANDREWS, DAVIS, DUDLEY -
I am currently researching the history of my maternal grandmother's family. My great grandfather's name was William M. Dudley and I know that he was born on August 25, 1878 in Bluefield, West Virginia and after moving to Vandiver, Alabama married my great grandmother Lottie Francis Andrews. They later moved to Denver, Colorado with my grandmother and nine of her brothers and sisters. There were eleven children in all. Anyway, my great grandfather William died on May 24, 1960 and is buried here in Denver. I obtained his death certificate in order to see if I could find out about my great-great grandparents and any great-great aunts, uncles or cousins that I may have. Their names were Tobe Dudley and Jane Davis. I have already sent a letter to the vital records office in Charleston, West Virginia to try to find out their birth dates and death dates, but that was about three weeks ago and I am still waiting for and answer. Any help with my research will be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.

MANN, MYERS, TIFFANY, WRIGHT -
I have Alice Wright married to Israel Rouse Myers, son of John Melchior Myers, letter from Bramwell to (step? half?) brother Thomas Tiffany. Alice was from Mount Pleasant, Wayne, Pennsylvania. Daughter Verna married Milsaac Mann. I see that a Claudia Malverna "Vera" Myers married Isaac Thomas Mann and they had daughter Alice Wright Mann. I have feeling that Milsaac was Isaac, but no other information. Vera had a brother named Charles. Does anyone have information on Vera? Am looking for information on her mother or step? mother, and on Sallie - wife of A. Wright. Thanks,
