I had an uncle "Bill"... his name was John William
Pyrtle, I knew him when he lived in Ripplemead, VA...
he had sisters... Senah, Lula Belle, Pearl... brothers,
Clay, Ernest, Harry, Frank.... he married a lady
Eva (I thought it was spelled this way)... and had
two daughters.. it seems the daughters lived
in Alaska... Eva and I corresponded a bit in the
80's, then I lost contact with her... my under Bill,
as I recollect died in the 50's I believe, he was
not very old... he was my favorite...

I don't think this is the same one. My grandmother's name was Ava and they only had one child, my mother, Ava Bessie. My grandmother was born in Eure, NC and my mother in Portsmouth, VA. My grandparents divorced when my mother was a child. He was born in Rockingham County and I believe he died in 1979. If you think there could be any connection, please respond.

Thank you,
Brenda

There doesn't seem to be a connection there....
my grandparents were from Henry County, Virginia...
John W. and Sarah Frances (Hensley)...they had 12 children, and one was named John W. (Jr.), he died
in the 1950's... My parents married late so all
of my relatives are gone...

It was good to hear a bit of your family history....
stay safe.... Sarah
