Willie Nelson connection Via Standridge help Mr. Boyd

I?m not C.L. Boyd, and I?m nowhere close to him as a family historian, but here?s what I have.
Willie Hugh Nelson is the son of Ira Nelson and Myrtle Greenhaw. Myrtle was the daughter of William Alex Greenhaw and Bertha Reynolds. William was the son of Daniel Gabriel Greenhaw and Lucy E. Standridge.
Here?s where things get a little confusing, and the trail fades out as regards your question.
Lucy was the daughter of Alexander Elisha ?Little Alex? Standridge and his first (?) wife Eliza Ann (maiden name unknown). I don?t have any record that Alex and Eliza Ann had any sons at all-- just seven daughters.
Alex?s second wife was Louisa Eliza Jones Standridge, who had previously been married to Martin W. Standridge and had two daughters and two sons by Martin, none named Richard. Then Alex and Louisa Eliza had two daughters.
Alex?s third wife was Sarah Jane Yates Taylor Cavin. Sarah had previously been married to William Taylor and had two sons and a daughter, no Richard.Then she had been married to Harrison Cavin and had two daughters and a son, no Richard.
Then Alex and Sarah Jane had one son, Arewine Yates Standridge.
Not a Richard in the bunch that I know of. Not brother or half-brother.
There was a Richard Standridge who had a daughter (not sister) named Louisiana (not Lucy). That?s as close as I can match.
FYI, you have every right to hide your e-mail address on this site. That?s entirely your choice. I don?t plan in the future to reply to you or anyone else who hides his/her e-mail address, unless the question is of real interest to me personally or seems to be of general interest to the family. That?s my choice. No hard feelings, and I wish you the very best in your searches!
