Looking for GGrandparents

Classification: Query
Surnames: Sixbury/Sixbery/Sixberry
I am looking for any information on my Sixberry line.
My great grandparents were William H. ( born 1866, NY) and Myrtle F ( Farr, born 1889, NY) as far as I can tell.

My grandmother( Lena Bell Sixberry, Place, Kline) was secretive about her childhood, and the only thing i heard was that she and her twin were given up for adoption around the age 2. She was retreived, by her parents, but her sister was adopted out. We were told her maiden name was Place,and Sixberry's were her cousins. I found no record of her being born under that name. I did however find her in the 1910 census with her real parents, and 1920 working in Watertown, NY. I have come to the conclusion that Place was the last name of her first husband, as she had a son( Earl Place) we didn't know about with that last name, who left her. Earl was adopted and raised by his grandmother. The truth didn't come out until his grandma passed away.

Just wondering if anyone out there can fill in any blanks or straighten out the story of this family.

Thank in advance,
Gwen Jackson-Patterson
