Doc White Family

 Help, help, Sister Fleta.  These are pictures from the Betty Blevins Cody's  Cedar Chest Collection. 

These two children are labeled Isam and Jessie White.  I think their father is Doc White.

 This is George Blackie Blevins and Jim Harvey White.  George is Betty Blevins brother.  I don't know who Jim Harvey White is or if he even has a connection to the Doc White family.

 These two photos are of the Doc White family.  Somewhere in the pictures I saw his wife's name was Ann.  Can you help me figure out who the Doc White family is--Fleta?  I have came up with nothing.

Darbys of Denver, Arkansas

Cazie Darby, Loyd and Clifford Cody and Henry Riggs

Cazie, Oscar and Herman Darby

 Herman, Richard and Cazie Darby

Anderson Pinkney Darby is the father of the Darby boys in the pictures.  He married Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Anderson.   She was the daughter of Richard Anderson and Cynthia Emeline Matlock.  Anderson's parents were Levi Cazie Darby and Margaret McKee.  Margaret's parents were John McKee and Mary Susan Carpenter.  John's mother was Phanny Carpenter.  Mary Susan was William Wesley Carpenter's sister.  William Wesley was Grandma Martha  Jane Carpenter Gaddy's father.  So all the Denver Darby's our kinfolk.

John McKee's and Mary Susan Carpenter's daughter Sarah McKee married John Cody--who were the parents of Lee Cody who married Mary Elizabeth Betty Blevin's' who owned the Cedar Chest Collection.

Eula Darby was by second grade teacher.  She married Dewey Wendell Darby.  They had two children Gail and Terry.  Wendell was the son of Oscar (pictured above and Oscar was a son of Anderson Pinkney Darby whose mother was Margaret McKee whose mother was Mary Susan Carpenter--my Grandmother Martha Jane Carpenter's aunt!  But our kinship to Gail and Terry don't stop there.

It's complicated.   Eula Herriman Darby's father was Luther Milton Herriman.  Luther Herriman's mother was Mary Evannie Maples.  Mary Evannie Maples father was Russell Reno Maples was a half brother to my Grandmother Gertrude Maples Powell's father William Burl Maples.

So my classmate, Gail Darby, was kin to me twice through both her mother and her father.  I wish I had know then we were related.  She was always so extra nice, kind, humble--quite the opposite of me!
