"Hi Virginia, I am a Kuykendall relative, Abner Kuykendall, father of George, father of Abe, Abner is my 4th Great Uncle, just wanted to touch base with you on the below as it is not correct, and wanted to let you know. The things I find incorrect are the births of Mattie & Virginia. Mattie was born 23 Jan 1880, and I have no record of him married to Virginia Clarke? Minnie does have a marker. Just wanted to let you know of the info, and THANK YOU for doing this particular research on the family, appreciate it.
