Re: J. S. McKendrick

theblibit — 2013-02-04 09:02:38Z

I realize the original message here was posted many years ago, but just in case you're still out there, I'm looking for the McKendrick family in Kentucky too. I have a hunch that my 4x Great Grandfather, William McKendrick, was related to this JS McKendrick mentioned in this obituary, as William lived in Franklin County, KY as well (around 1820). JS was probably a nephew of William's. Either way, would love to know if you have anymore info on JS-- especially names of his parents and where they were from. I think I can link William to them.

Thanks!

This obituary is incorrect. I am Clara Tingle. Hamilton Newton Tingle was my father and Margaret Alice Hughes Tingle was my mother. Hamilton Tingle was a WWII vet. He was a member of Sand Spring Baptist Church and was buried beside his wife, Margaet Alice in the Sand Spring Cemetery.

Re: James Tygrett

attheriviera — 2012-10-26 17:43:41Z

James also had a daughter named Nellie Marie, born in 1901, Tennessee. She used the spelling Tygrette. She is shown in the 1920 census as Nellie Long and her son Walter, born approx 1919. In that census Nellie is living with her mother Kate Tygrette (incorrectly transcribed to Kryogrette or some other odd spelling) and sister Mary Catherine (aka Grace).

I am interested in this family, particularly where they were in 1910.

I was interested in your post on the Lord Burham Company.
My Grand father, David Warwick, was the plant superintentent in 1910, and opened manufacturing plants in Des Plaines Illinois, and St Catharines, Ontario. He died of the flu in 1918. This would be before Mildreds time there.
