A family tradition said ( note by L. Burnett--I'm leaving this paragraph out because it isn't true).

Armstead Tally was grandmother's youngest brother. His youngst son J. Fred Talley came to Edinburg about 1882 and spent a year or two. He visited us many times but made his head- quarters with aunt Nancy Campbell.

He went to Nashville, Tenn, to practice law. I never heard of him again.""
