Theresa,
Yes, I finally found your posts (email address changes can be a pain!) and the Alvis you have located is my Alvis. He is my grandfather's cousin. I did not realize Bettie had been married before until I saw the Slaughter name in that census listing. Haven't had a chance to review and digest the rest of it but maybe something will be my key I've been looking for for several years. Thank you so very much for all the data you've sent and I'm really sorry it took me so long to reply to you. Not ignoring you, just too much to relocate after the address change. Some of it got lost in the shuffle. I will reply to Tracy, too. Thanks again!
