Hello,
Robert David is my brick wall. He married Jenny Herring in 1889 in Kansas, (she died in Beaver City, OK giving birth to their last child Eileen). They had 4 kids; Ralph Emerson my GP was the oldest, then either Guy or Emmet was next, then the baby girl Eileen.
Robert David split up the kids giving Ralph and Eileen to some family members and Guy and Emmet to others. Ralph was born in Belpre, Kansas. The last information I can find on Robert was when Ralph entered the service and said his father lived in Wichita, Kansas. I know the kids could have gone with David or Herring family members....I don't know. My Mom remembers Emmet and Guy living in California in the 50's in Riverside...I've also found Herrings there. I have some Herring family line information but they don't remember any David's being raised by anyone.
Thanks for listening...Marcia
