Royalty family in Washington County, KY
My grandfather's mother was a Royalty, Flora. She was one of 9 children and was born in the mid-1890s. She married JD Potorf in November 1915. Some of her siblings' names were Henry, Granville, Mary Helen, Hadgie, Virgie, and Dora. Another one, Evelyn, died in a car accident in the 1930s in Texas while teaching drama at Baylor. Mary Helen committed suicide some time in the 1940s or '50s, I think.
I don't remember anything, including the names, of the others. I remember meeting Uncle Henry and Uncle Shorty (Granville) several times when I was young. I'm pretty sure that Henry lived to be more than 100.
Her father was James, but some records show J.I. and some J.T. I don't know if that's due to penmanship or something else. Her mother's name started with an L, but I don't know what it was.
It's my understanding that many of my grandfather's cousins are still alive in central Kentucky and around Lexington. If any of you are out there, or if anyone knows anything further about the line, please help if you're so moved.
Many thanks.
