Hi, Linda, This is cousin Eileen Herrera. I am not sure of where I got this information but I have the lineage like this:
Robert Edney b 1710 d 1752 m Ann Wrencher
Their son was Samuel Edney who married Mary Kelly
Their son was Newton Edney who married Rachel Koonce
Their son was Samuel Edney who married Martha "Patsy"Phipps
Their daughter was Mary Phipps Edney who married Henry R. McFarlin
Their son was Dr. Henry R. McFarlin but I don't know who he married.
Their daughter was Mattie Hattie McFarlin who married Franklin Gattis
Their daughter was Mattie Gattis who married Willie Evans
Their son is Travis Olando Evans (MY FATHER) who married Katherine Ruth Kostaras (MY MOTHER)
Their daughter is Peggy Eileen Evans (ME) who married Fidel Michael Herrera
For clarity's sake, I would like all of us to use the name Mattie Hattie McFarlin for my great grandmother and Mattie Gattis for my grandmother. Some of the records are a little confusing because folks don't realize they are two different people, not the same person. And I have found this a problem on all branches of my family trees where the descendants are named after a parent or grandparent, etc. It's so confusing!
I now have subscribed to Ancestry so I can share more information and can get more info from all who have done more research, but I am still a novice!
I am going to post some photos I have. I know who some of the people are but not all. If you or anyone else can identify anyone, please shout out. I need all the help I can get. So look for new pictures under McFarlin and Gattis family trees, ok?
Thanks so much, Cousin Eileen
