I am related to the Wheeler, Kirk, Evans and Bailey (as well as, I think, the Napier) families from Lee County, Virginia. My mother, Wanda Lou (Wheeler) Bailey, was adopted by my grandparents, Willie Jewell (Kirk) Wheeler and Bernard Adam Wheeler in 1942. My father is Smith Wayne Bailey from Pennington Gap, and his parents were Edna Carmen (Evans) Bailey and Theodore Roosevelt Bailey. My maternal and paternal grandmothers were actually first cousins (remember that my mother was adopted ).
