The information I have on William D. Rhyne is that he is the son of Jacob E. Rhyne & Melissa Cunningham. Jacob E. Rhyne was born about 1834 in Georgia & married Melissa June 11, 1857 in Itawamba County, Ms. William had brothers John T. Rhyne,& James Richard Rhyne & sisters Susan Elizabeth, Mary B. Rhyne.
It is thought that William D. Rhyne's wife Frankie Clifton was a sister to Augusta Burgess Clifton husband of William's sister Susan Elizabeth Rhyne.
William's brother James Richard Rhyne lived in Wise County, Tx. where his wife Emma Rhyne was a longtime operator of the Alvon Funeral Home.
