I just saw your post from 2010. Herbert is a huge enigma in our history. I would really love to learn about the Jellison family and, if you are conversant, anything about the Scantlins. From what I can tell, Herbert wasn't the most upstanding fellow but, now that my mother has passed, no one will be hurt if we learn more about him. I can fill in details about your cousins in our branch as well as his wife Helen Scantlin. Please feel free to contact eajanco@gmail.com.
Best,
Liza Janco
